Which automotive engines in the future
Conference

OSTI ID:7360601
The automobile is a major factor in four national issues - energy, natural resources, pollution, and transportation. As such, it represents a problem, a challenge, and an opportunity for engineering and management. The national issues involved, impacts of more efficient automobile engines on pollution and transportation, the cost benefits of more efficient engines, and the necessity for a balanced engine development program are discussed. Some predictions are made on future improved automotive engines. The stratified charge engine looks potentially very attractive in the near term, offering required low emissions without sacrifice in fuel economy. The catalytic converter will probably have a short history. On the longer term basis, there are four candidates - electric vehicles, Stirling engines, diesel engines, and Warren engines. The Wankel, Rankine, and gas turbine engines are unlikely to become automotive powerplants with impact by the year 2000.
