Quasi-Dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines From Thermodynamic Optimization to Cyclic Variability / by Alejandro Medina, Pedro Luis Curto-Risso, Antonio Calvo Hernández, Lev Guzmán-Vargas, Fernando Angulo-Brown, Asok K Sen.

Based on the simulations developed in research groups over the past years, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines provides a compilation of the main ingredients necessary to build up a quasi-dimensional computer simulation scheme. Quasi-dimensional computer simulation...
