Automotive Engine Alternatives
Automotive Engine Alternatives by Robert L. Evans is a comprehensive examination of the proceedings from the International Symposium on Alternative and Advanced Automotive Engines, held in Vancouver, B.C., in August 1986. Published by Springer US on May 31, 2013, this softcover reprint of the original 1st edition from 1987 spans 266 pages and is presented in English. The book focuses on critical reviews of major alternatives to the internal combustion engine, drawing insights from approximately 80 attendees across 11 countries, representing various sectors of the automotive and large engine communities.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of combustion engine alternatives, as the symposium aimed to foster in-depth discussions among contributors. The content is structured to emphasize the technical aspects of mechanical engineering and manufacturing, while excluding electric propulsion to maintain a focused dialogue. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the mechanics and physics of automotive technology, providing a snapshot of the innovative discussions that took place during the symposium.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Alternative and Advanced Automotive Engines, held in Vancouver, B.C., on August 11 and 12, 1986. The symposium was sponsored by EXPO 86 and The University of British Columbia, and was part of the specialized periods program of EXPO 86, the 1986 world’s fair held in Vancouver. Some 80 attendees were drawn from 11 countries, representing the academic, auto motive and large engine communities. The purpose of the symposium was to provide a critical review of the major alternatives to the internal combustion engine. The scope of the symposium was limited to consideration of combustion engines, so that electric power, for example, was not considered. This was not a reflec tion on the possible contribution which electric propulsion may make in the future, but rather an attempt to focus the proceedings more sharply than if all possible propulsion systems had been considered. In this way all of the contributors were able to participate in the sometimes lively discussion sessions following the presentation of each paper.
