TLDR
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.read more

Alternative fuel and gasoline in an SI engine: A comparative study of performance and emissions characteristics
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.
