The editors explain that the classical formulae and techniques for predicting heat flow do not apply to the unique conditions found in reciprocating engines. They warn the reader--presumed to be aspiring designers of more efficient and less polluting engines--that although these papers, from every country where engineering is practiced, contain nearly all the available knowledge on the subject, no definitive answers emerge, no breakthroughs loom around the next equation. The topics include the transfer of engine heat and of external heat, numerical flow simulation, applications and devices, ignition and quenching, and measurement techniques.

This handbook deals with the vast subject of thermal management of engines and vehicles by applying the state of the art research to diesel and natural gas engines. The contributions from global experts focus on management, generation, and retention of heat in after-treatment and exhaust systems for light-off of NOx, PM, and PN catalysts during cold start and city cycles as well as operation at ultralow temperatures. This book will be of great interest to those in academia and industry involved in the design and development of advanced diesel and CNG engines satisfying the current and future emission standards.

Heat transfer between the working fluid and the combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine is one of the most important parameters for cycle simulation and analysis. The heat transfer influences the in-cylinder pressure and temperature levels, engine efficiency, and exhaust emissions. Most of the current research carried out on combustion chambers focuses on gas temperature measurement by Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) and heat transfer measurement by thermocouples. Heat transfer measurement by thermocouples leads to poor bandwidths and large uncertainties. A more advanced experimental technique for heat transfer measurement used in gas-turbine engine research, platinum thin film resistance thermometers, was recently employed in a single cylinder engine. Heat transfer rate measurements were successfully obtained on the piston surface and cylinder head exposed to the combustion gases. The thin film gauge system has a frequency response of around 100kHz and therefore can track the heat transfer rate changes on the piston surface and cylinder head adequately. Measurements taken with the engine motored and at low load are presented and discussed. (13 figures, 12 refs.).
