At AUDI NSU a new generation of rotary engines has been developed of which the significant layout parameters are outlined. The present status of development is characterized by a lean burn concept with fuel injection and an exhaust emission control system with catalytic converter. Test results indicate that the fuel economy ranges at the same level as comparable reciprocating engines. The future US-exhaust emission standards are kept below but in respect to the Japanese standards further reduction of NOx is necessary. Endurance tests proving the durability of the exhaust emission control system have still to be performed.

Part dictionary, part encyclopedia, Modern Engine Technology from A to Z will serve as your comprehensive reference guide for many years to come. Keywords throughout the text are in alphabetical order and highlighted in blue to make them easier to find, followed, where relevant, by subentries extending to as many as four sublevels. Full-color illustrations provide additional visual explanation to the reader. This book features: approximately 4,500 keywords, with detailed cross-references more than 1,700 illustrations, some in full color in-depth contributions from nearly 100 experts from industry and science engine development, both theory and practice

More than 120 authors from science and industry have documented this essential resource for students, practitioners, and professionals. Comprehensively covering the development of the internal combustion engine (ICE), the information presented captures expert knowledge and serves as an essential resource that illustrates the latest level of knowledge about engine development. Particular attention is paid toward the most up-to-date theory and practice addressing thermodynamic principles, engine components, fuels, and emissions. Details and data cover classification and characteristics of reciprocating engines, along with fundamentals about diesel and spark ignition internal combustion engines, including insightful perspectives about the history, components, and complexities of the present-day and future IC engines.
