The aim of the paper is to investigate the influence of novel opening strategies for intake
valves on the permeability and in-cylinder flow of a multivalve spark-ignition internal …

The work aims at investigating the techno-economic performance of a biodiesel micro
combined heat and power (CHP) system for residential applications. The CHP unit is based …

The paper aims to analyse the flow field at the entrance and within the filter housing of a
production four-cylinder, spark-ignition engine during the intake phase. To this purpose a …

The purpose of this work is to investigate the performance in terms of electric power and
electric efficiency of a 11kW bio-diesel internal combustion engine (ICE) coupled with a …

Lithium-ion batteries have become the primary battery technology used for electric and
hybrid vehicles powertrains. Battery temperature, however, is a critical factor for these …

In modern direct injection gasoline engines, air-fuel mixing has a strong influence on
combustion and emission characteristics, which in turn largely depends on in-cylinder fluid …

The present work aims at analyzing the fluid dynamic efficiency of a four‐stroke spark‐
ignition engine. Specifically, a production four‐cylinder internal combustion engine has …

The continuous demand to reduce both the pollutant emissions and the greenhouse gas
(GHG) is increasing the use of alternative fuels as biodiesel in direct-injection compression …

The design of intake manifolds and valve ports in internal combustion engines is a
fundamental aspect of obtaining high volumetric efficiency and originating in-cylinder flows …

The work aims at investigating the fluid dynamic performances of a multivalve spark-ignition
