Efficiency Enhancement in Internal Combustion Engines

Authors:Surmadhur Pant, Hemendra Tripathi, Kuldeep Godiyal

Abstract:Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) have been the primary power source for various applications, from transportation to power generation, for over a century. However, their efficiency has remained a significant challenge due to inherent thermodynamic limitations and environmental concerns. This paper explores various strategies and technologies aimed at enhancing the efficiency of internal combustion engines, including advancements in combustion processes, alternative fuels, hybridization, and waste heat recovery. The potential benefits of each approach are discussed, along with their practical implications and challenges. The paper also presents relevant tables and figures to illustrate the key concepts and data associated with efficiency enhancements in internal combustion engines.

Keywords:Efficiency enhancement, internal combustion engines, combustion processes, alternative fuels, hybridization
