Fuel Efficient Vehicles

2017
Consumers have been slow to switch to more fuel efficient vehicles, in spite of the threat of a future global shortage of fossil fuels. To understand consumer reluctance to adopt hybrid automotive technology, this chapter begins by reviewing consumer decision-making with regard to consumer automotive purchases.

Fuel Efficient Exhaust Systems

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1981
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A potential for saving fuel by reducing the exhaust system backpressure of diesel engines has been shown. This paper will quantify the relationship between backpressure and fuel consumption over a range of backpressures, horsepowers and rpm's.

The New Fuel: Efficiency

Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment, 2011
ABSTRACT Emerging new technologies can drastically reduce the energy consumption of buildings in the United States. In this article we look at overall energy usage, where our supply sources for energy emanate, and how they are used throughout the United States in the different demand sectors.

Turbocharging for Fuel Efficiency

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1983
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The arguments are given for the application of a 1.3 litre turbocharged spark ignition engine, as a substitute for a 2 litre normally aspirated engine as the power plant for a compact-sized car in the late 80’s.

Reframing Automotive Fuel Efficiency

SAE International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment, & Policy, 2020
<div>Electric powertrains’ astounding recent progress often eclipses comparable energy-saving potential from aggressively reducing tractive load, especially by ambitious lightweighting. Both strategies are valid and important, but their diverse benefits—transcending simple competition ...

Efficient multicomponent fuel algorithm

Combustion Theory and Modelling, 2003
We derive equations for multicomponent fuel evaporation in airborne fuel droplets and wall films, and implement the model into KIVA-3V. Temporal and spatial variations in liquid droplet composition and temperature are not modelled but solved for by discretizing the interior of the droplet in an implicit and computationally efficient way.

The transport energy trade-off: Fuel-efficient traffic versus fuel-efficient cities

Transportation Research Part A: General, 1988
Improving fuel efficiency in vehicular traffic by increasing average speeds is shown to have a major trade-off through land use changes and modal shifts that result in an overall loss in fuel efficiency for the total urban area. In Perth, even though vehicles in central areas have a 19% lower fuel efficiency than average due to congestion, the central ...
