TL;DR: The second volume as mentioned in this paper gathers together papers by leading authorities on internal combustion engines, completing the work begun in the first volume by R.S. Benson, who examined various methods of evaluating the performance of engines, including considerations of scavenging, in-cylinder flows, turbocharger matching, heat transfer, and a section on the modelling of pressure exchangers.
Abstract: This volume gathers together papers by leading authorities on internal combustion engines, completing the work begun in the first volume by R.S. Benson. These state-of-the-art essays examine various methods of evaluating the performance of engines, including considerations of scavenging, in-cylinder flows, turbocharger matching, heat transfer, and a section on the modelling of pressure exchangers. This is the most comprehensive analytical text available on the subject, containing detailed analyses of internal combustion engines previously found only in technical papers.

TL;DR: In this article, two diesel engine models, a mean torque production model and a cylinder-by-cylinder model, are summarized for use in the formulation of control and state observation algorithms.
Abstract: Engine models that are used for nonlinear diesel engine control, state estimation, and model-based diagnostics are presented in this paper. By collecting, modifying, and adding to current available engine modeling techniques, two diesel engine models, a mean torque production model and a cylinder-by-cylinder model, are summarized for use in the formulation of control and state observation algorithms. In the cylinder-by-cylinder model, a time-varying crankshaft inertia model is added to a cylinder pressure generator to simulate engine speed variations due to discrete combustion events. Fuel injection timing and duration are control inputs while varying engine speed, cylinder pressure, and indicated torque are outputs from simulation. These diesel engine models can be used as engine simulators and to design diesel engine controllers and observers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and emissions of a given SI engine fueled by alternative fuels including hydrogen, propane, methane, ethanol, and methanol were compared with those in conventional fueled engines and it was concluded that volumetric efficiency of the engine working on hydrogen is the lowest (28% less that gasoline fueled engine), gasoline produce more power than the all being tested alternative fuels and BSFC of methanoline is 91% higher than that of gasoline while BSFCof hydrogen is 63% less than gasoline.

TL;DR: In this article, the growth of the fuel spray zone, which comprises a number of fuel-air conical jets equal to the injector nozzle holes, is carefully modelled by incorporating jet mixing, thus determining the amount of oxygen available for combustion.
