Chapter One discusses the fully variable valve train as a possible solution to reduce emissions and improve internal combustion engines. Chapter Two presents the development results of the redesigned and indirectly controlled Full Variable Valve Train (FVVT) system that is the core of the authors’ research project. Chapter Three reports the effects of jatropha oil as a substitute for diesel fuel and wet methanol on diesel engine performance and soot emissions in an EGR environment. (Imprint: Nova)
