Four Decades of Engine-Fuel Technology Forecast Future Advances 660771
This paper discusses the challenge and problems associated with the mutual adaptation of engines and fuels during the past 40 years. The resulting technology is a background for the more sophisticated attack required to meet a different but equal challenge in the period ahead as automotive engines become even more refined and essential machines, and operate in a more demanding environment. A large responsibility rests on the universities for understanding the problem and providing adequately equipped graduates.
