Inhaltsangabe

This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which offers the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust emissions at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane gasoline), making it significantly easier to control particulates and NOx but with high efficiency. The state of the art development to make GCI combustion feasible on practical vehicles is highlighted, e.g., on overcoming problems on cold start, high-pressure rise rates at high loads, transients, and HC and CO emissions. This book will be a useful guide to those in academia and industry.

V. Raman Young Teachers Award: 2011; SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award -2008; INSA Young Scientist Award-2007; UICT Young Scientist Award-2007; INAE Young Engineer Award-2005. Prof. Agarwal received Prestigious CSIR Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award-2016 in Engineering Sciences. Prof. Agarwal is conferred upon Sir J C Bose National Fellowship (2019) by SERB for his outstanding contributions. Prof. Agarwal was a highly cited researcher (2018) and was in the top ten HCR from India among 4000 HCR researchers globally in 22 fields of inquiry.

Dr. Harsh Goyal is currently a post-doctoral researcher in Clean Combustion Research Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia. He received his Ph.D. from University of New South Wales, Australia in 2019 and M.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India. He works in the field of internal combustion engines and alternative fuels for transportation. He is mainly focused on the performance and emissions testing, one-dimensional simulations, in-cylinder fuel-air mixing and ignition process using planar laser induced fluorescence imaging of formaldehyde, hydroxyl, and laser induced incandescence of soot radicals. He has published over 20 technical articles in international journals and conference proceedings.

Dr. Moez Ben Houidi is currently a research scientist in the Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia. He received his industrial management engineering diploma from ENIT Tunis in 2008 and his Master's degree in Fluid Mechanics and Energy from UPMC Paris in 2009. From 2010 to 2013, he joined the research department of Renault-Nissan group, in Paris, as an advanced fuel research engineer on a Ph.D. contract with ENSMA (Poitiers). He graduated in 2014 as a PhD in energy, thermal and combustion sciences from ENSMA. His interests are mainly focused on the study of new combustion concepts for more efficient and sustainable transportation. This includes topics related to IC engines, thermo-kinetic interaction, combustion propagation regimes, optical diagnostics, spray characterization, and pre-chamber combustion.
