Space for innovation - infinite in pollutants non-equilibriumPollutants are a non-equilibrium effect Burn: Fuel + O 2 + N 2  H 2 O + CO 2 + N 2 + CO + UHC + NO On A Faster Expansion: CO + UHC + NO “frozen” at high level With slow expansion, no heat loss: CO + UHC + NO  H 2 O + CO 2 + N 2 But how to slow the expansion and eliminate heat loss? Worst problems: cold start, transients, old or out-of-tune vehicles. 90% of pollution generated by 10% of vehicles !!!!

Space for innovation - very little in power  IC engines are air processors  Fuel takes up little space  Air flow = power  Limitation on air flow due to  “Choked” flow past intake valves  Friction loss, mechanical strength - limits RPM  Slow burn

The Ideal Artifical Horse 1824: Sadi Carnot, who founded the science of thermodynamics, identified several fundamental ideas that would be incorporated in later internal combustion engines: –1. He noted that air compressed by a ratio of 15 to 1 would be hot enough (200°C) to ignite dry wood. – 2. He recommended compressing the air before combustion. Fuel could then be added by "an easily invented injector". – 3. Carnot realized that the cylinder walls would require cooling to permit continuous operation. Later, Diesel thought he could avoid this, but found out the hard way. – 4. He noted that usable heat would be available in the exhaust, and recommended passing it under a water boiler.

EQUILIBRIUM An isolated mixture with conservative amounts of substance n i tends to reach an equilibrium state defined by its entropy S(U,V,ni) being a maximum. In absence of external fields, that the temperature T=  U/  S, pressure p=T  S/  V, and chemical potential for each conservative species  i =-T  S/  ni, are uniform at equilibrium in absence of external forces.

Universal Law for Completion of Reaction For every fuel, a designer should know all possible reactants !!! Some products will influence the efficiency of reaction. Few other may not influence the efficiency of reaction but severely affect the environment. The optimal parameters for efficient reaction may not be optimal for safe reaction !!
