Preface

Twentyfour years have gone by since the publication of K. Lohner and H. Muller's comprehen­sive work "Gemischbildung und Verbrennung im Ottomotor" in 1967 [1.1]'

Naturally, the field of mixture formation and combustion in the spark-ignition engine has wit­nessed great technological advances and many new findings in the intervening years, so that the time seemed ripe for presenting a summary of recent research and developments. There­fore, I gladly took up the suggestion of the editors of this series of books, Professor Dr. H. List and Professor Dr. A. Pischinger, to write a book summarizing the present state of the art.

A center of activity of the Institute of Internal-Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering at the Vienna Technical University, which I am heading, is the field of mixture formation - there­fore, many new results that have been achieved in this area in collaboration with the respective industry have been included in this volume.

The basic principles of combustion are discussed only to that extent which seemect necessary for an understanding of the effects of mixture formation.

The focal point of this volume is the mixture formation in spark-ignition engines, covering both the theory and actual design of the mixture formation units and appropriate intake manifolds. Also, the related measurement technology is explained in this work.

The intention of this book is to provide the engineer who is either engaged in scientific research or active in industry, as well as the student who wishes to deepen his knowledge in this field, with a survey of the present state of research and state of the art.

It should be pointed out that, after more than a hundred years' development in the field of en­gine design, intensive research work is being done worldwide, today more than ever, and great technological progress has been achieved. Therefore, the total of approximately 400 quoted direct sources of literature represent only a portion of the entire literature available.

I n view of the complexity of the subject, numerous experts have contributed to this volume, espe­cially former arid present staff members. I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for elaboration of individual sections to: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Walter Bohme, Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Heinz Duelli, Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Gunter Fraidl, Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Hubert Friedl, Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Bernhard Geringer, Dipl.­Ing. Dr. Georg Pachta, Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Ernst Pucher, and Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Gunter Smetana. I thank Professor Dr. Hellmuth Schindlbauer for his revision of the chapter "Fuel".

VI Preface

I also express deep appreciation for the great support and courtesy shown by the following pub­lishers and enterprises in permitting me to quote from copyright material including some illustra­tions:

Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc., Warrendale, Verlag des Vereins Deutscher Ingenieure, Dusseldorf, Adam Opel AG, ROsselsheim, AUDI AG, Ingolstadt, BMW AG, Munich, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, Fritz-Hintermayer GmbH., Nuremberg, Mercedes-Benz AG, Stuttgart, Pierburg GmbH., Neuss, R. Bosch GmbH., Stuttgart, Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg

This book was originally published for the German-speaking public. In view of the vivid interest in this volume, I took up the suggestion that it should be translated for the English-speaking world. Most of the symbols and abbreviations used in illustrations, equations, and charts of the German edition have been retained in the English translation. Explanations are given in the corre­sponding indices.

Grateful acknowledgement is expressed to Mrs. Hedwig Riegler, assisted by Mag. Gertrude Maurer and Mag. Christine Hetzendorfer, for translating the book into English.

A special thanks goes to Mr. Ronald W. Bell, AC Rochester Austria, Vienna, who spared some of his valuable time for revision of the English manuscript.

The author is indebted to Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Ernst Pucher for editing and directing the translation pro­ject.

Dipl.-Ing. Peter Kohoutek deserves special mention for managing the layout and graphical pre­sentations.
