SAE NEWS
SAE SHOWCASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE BEING OFFERED for college
students to participate in upcoming SAE conferences.
UNIVERSITY EXHIBIT
Historically, universities and industry have used NVH as an
opportunity to engage in constructive conversation regarding
research completed and work that industry is seeking to be
done. Take this opportunity to showcase your university to this
very target audience. Displays are 10 feet x10 feet. Two gratis
registrations come with the booth. More details
SAE NOISE AND VIBRATION
CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
The event offers two opportunities. Take advantage of these
opportunities to showcase your experience in noise and
vibration to 800 industry professionals who are eager to hire
those best-in-class students. You are not limited to just one
activity, so consider participating in both. Application
deadline December 1.
HANDS-ON SCIENCE FAIR
The Science Fair displays can be hands-on, a video
demonstration, or a collection of acoustical materials and
instrumentation demonstrating a multitude of engineering
efforts being used in the field of acoustics. Display submissions
will be subjected to a selection process. Displays will be voted
on by attendees for " Best of Show " award. More details
SAE GOVERNMENT/INDUSTRY MEETING
SAE would like to invite your school
to participate on Wednesday,
January 18, 2023, from 9:30am6:00pm.
The all-day experience
will give you and your students the
ability to showcase and receive
feedback on your projects and
research to 1000+ engineering and
government staff as well as attend
the keynote, roundtable, technical
sessions, and networking reception.
Schools interested in this
opportunity, which includes a
student display booth, should reach out to Melissa Jena at
melissa.jena@sae.org by November 15. n

SI ENGINES STILL KICKING
Injection Technologies &
Mixture Formation Strategies
for SI and Dual-fuel Engines
Alessandro Ferrari | Pietro Pizzo
WRITTEN BY ALLESANDRO FERRARI AND PIETRO PIZZO, a
new SAE International book covers spark-ignition engines from
their birth to the present day. Its title is Injection Technologies
and Mixture Formation Strategies For Spark-Ignition and DualFuel
Engines.
Gasoline engines had dominated the market of passenger
cars from the beginning of the automobile history until the
1990s. In the mid-1980s, the introduction of electronic controls
for injection timing and delivered fuel mass as well as the
application of turbocharging led to the opportunity of using
direct injection diesel engines in passenger cars.
The introduction of common-rail technology in the lateFuel
injection systems and performance is fundamental to combustion
engine performance in terms of power, noise, efficiency, and exhaust
emissions. There is a move toward electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce
carbon emissions, but this is unlikely to be a rapid transition, in part due
to EV batteries: their size, cost, longevity, and charging capabilities as
well as the scarcity of materials to produce them. Until these isssues
are resolved, refining the spark-ignited engine is necessary address
both sustainability and
demand for af fordable
and reliable mobility. Even
under policies oriented to
smart sustainable mobility,
spark- igni ted engines
remain strategic, because
they can be applied to
hybridized EVs or can
be fueled with gasoline
blended with bioethanol or
bio-butanol to drastically
reduce particulate matter
emissions of direct injection
engines in addition to lower
CO2 emissions.
[Fuel Injection Systems]
is an accurate review
of spark-ignited engine
fuel injection systems,
which have represented
a key technology in the
development of the
gasoline engines during
the last decades. "
Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo
In Fuel Inject Systems, Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo provide a full
review of spark-ignited engine fuel injection systems. The most popular
typologies of fuel injection systems are considered, with special focus
on state-of-the-art solutions. Dedicated sections on the methods for air
mass evaluation, fuel delivery low-pressure modules, and the specific
subsystems for idle, cold start, and warm-up control are also included.
The authors pay special attention to mixture formation strategies, as
they are a fundamental theme for SI engines. An exhaustive overview of
fuel injection technologies is provided, and mixture formation strategies
for spark ignited combustion engines are considered. Fuel Injection
Systems illustrates the performance of these systems and will also serve
as a reference for engineers who are active in the aftermarket, offering
detailed information on fuel injection system solutions that are mounted
in older vehicles.

1990s gave a decisive impulse to the penetration of direct
injection diesel engines with increased specific power within
the automotive market. Diesel share in total passenger cars
progressively increased during the 2000s in Europe, South
Korea, India, South America, and Australia, whereas North
America, China, Japan, and Russia remained overwhelmingly
gasoline markets.
In particular, the European community supported diesel engine
development by maintaining separate emissions standards, with
less severe targets than those for gasoline engines. During the
early-2010s, diesel engine passenger cars sold in Europe were

could benefit automotive
engineers professionally
because it provides an updated and exhaustive overview about
fuel injection technologies and mixture formation strategies for
spark-ignited combustion engines. It offers a full illustration of
the performance of these systems and of the engines, in which
they are installed, and detailed technical data pertaining to the
different injection components. The book could also represent
a reference for engineers that are active in the aftermarket
because it is generally difficult to obtain detailed scientific
information on fuel injection system solutions that are still
mounted in older vehicles. n
