Combustion Theory delves deeper into the science of combustion than most other texts and gives insight into combustions from a molecular and a continuum point of view.

In this century, it is believed that crude oil and petrolem products will become very scarce and costly. Day-to-day, fuel economy of engines is getting improved and will continue to improve. However, enormous increase in number of vehicles has started dictating the demand for fuel. Gasoline and diesel will become scarce and most costly in the future. With increased use and the depletion of fossil fuels, alternative fuel technology will become more common in the coming decades.

This book offers first a short introduction to advanced supervision, fault detection and diagnosis methods.

This book offers an introduction to cost-effective model-based control-system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed and solutions for selected feedforward and feedback control-problems are presented.

The book Combustion Theory is a reduced English version of the material prepared for my combustion class at the RWTH Aachen Technical University. It is intended as an introduction to the fundamentals of combustion science with the aim to supply the basic notions and equations for more detailed numerical investigations.

This book covers the various approaches to modelling and optimising the spray and mixture formation processes in modern internal combustion engines. Due to their complexity and importance in predicting the temporal and spatial distribution of liquid and gaseous fuel inside the cylinder, special emphasis is put on the detailed description of multi-dimensional CFD-models.

The long-awaited revision of the most respected resource on Internal Combustion Engines --covering the basics through advanced operation of spark-ignition and diesel engines
