1. Engines and Fuels for Future Transport
2021 by Gautam Kalghatgi, Avinash Kumar Agarwal, Felix Leach, Kelly Senecal
"Engines and Fuels for Future Transport" centers on the critical theme of clean and sustainable transportation in today's world. It extensively examines internal combustion engines (ICEs) alongside rapidly emerging alternatives such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs). While these alternatives are gaining momentum, they begin from a relatively low starting point and confront substantial environmental, material availability, and economic hurdles that impede unlimited and swift expansion. Consequently, ICEs will remain the predominant propulsion source for transportation for many years to come, necessitating ongoing enhancements to advance transport sustainability. The book underscores the importance of evaluating proposed modifications to the existing transportation system from a life cycle perspective. Within its pages, readers will find chapters addressing the challenges faced by ICEs, as well as discussions on innovative fuels and the intricate interplay between fuels and engines, all contributing to the shared goal of enhancing ICE efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions. This comprehensive volume appeals to both academic and industry professionals seeking insights into the future of transportation.

3. Distributed Generation: Induction and Permanent Magnet Generators
2008 by Loi Lei Lai, Tze Fun Chan
"Distributed Generation: Induction and Permanent Magnet Generators" delves into the world of distributed power generation, a technology poised to revolutionize efficient and sustainable energy production globally. This comprehensive book explores the principles, potential, and constraints associated with two key generator technologies: induction generators (IGs) and permanent magnet generators (PMGs). Authored with an electrical engineering perspective, it offers insightful analysis, practical diagrams, and rich case studies to elucidate the integration of these generators in energy systems, whether grid-connected or off-grid. The book also provides essential tools for modeling and implementing innovative energy generation techniques. Beyond technical aspects, it discusses the economic, environmental, and practical implications of distributed generation. Targeting engineers, consultants, regulators, and environmental advocates in the energy sector, this book facilitates the evaluation and incorporation of renewable energy sources into efficient energy delivery systems. Moreover, it serves as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students while offering unique insights for designers, operators, and planners in the field.

5. Engines: An Introduction
1999 by John L. Lumley
"Engines: An Introduction" provides a unique perspective on the enduring design of the internal combustion engine that drives today's automobiles. Unlike many rapidly evolving technologies, engine design remains grounded in fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Professor Lumley, an esteemed expert in fluid dynamics, offers a clear exploration of how air and fuel interact, enter and exit the engine, with a special focus on addressing environmental concerns like pollution. This text features numerous illustrations, real-world examples, and homework problems at the end of each chapter. It covers a range of engine designs, from historical to cutting-edge, including modern stratified charge gasoline direct injection engines. Designed for undergraduate and early graduate students, this book is also a valuable resource for automotive enthusiasts and hobbyists, providing insights into classic, racing, and contemporary engine designs. Additionally, the text can be effectively complemented with the Stanford Engine Simulation Program (ESP), an interactive software tool that addresses a critical need in engine-related education.
