- Additional information
- This article presents the results of the first official collaborative project between the Engines Group at OBU and Ford Motor Company. It exhaustively explains the complex influence of a conventional modern technology, variable valve timing, on the thermal efficiency of two different engine architectures. The work is particularly accessible as it is based on uncomplicated data analysis, reaching general, widely applicable, conclusions. Since publication, the work has been praised by the wider engine community, both at academic and industrial levels, for its high educational value and it is used as a teaching resource at all levels at Oxford Brookes.
