Internal combustion engines still have a potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. These goals can be achieved with help of control systems. Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) addresses these issues by offering an introduction to cost-effective model-based control system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed in the text and selected feedforward and feedback control problems are discussed. The appendix contains a summary of the most important controller analysis and design methods, and a case study that analyzes a simplified idle-speed control problem. The book is written for students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.

Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: "The topic of this book is modeling and control of internal combustion engines for automotive applications. … In summary, this book is an essential text for anyone interested in engine control design. It seems appropriate for a graduate-level course in particular, for students with some control background. According to the authors, the book is intended for students … . I would also like to add that engine control practitioners can also learn a lot from this book … ." (Mrdjan Jankovic, IEEE Control Systems Magazine, December 2005)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good... expect a lot of control theory,
This review is from: Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems (Hardcover)
To take full advantage of this book you need a good background in control theory (mandatory!) and mechanics. The book has excellent information about the variables, approximations and all the stuff relating to gasoline and diesel engines. If you need a more in depth understanding of the principles sometimes explained superficially in "tunning engines books", this is the literature you need, but please have close to you a "mechanics for dummies" in case you get lost with the formulas.
This book has some references to an ECU's software guidelines but no program example is presented. The drawbacks: in some figures the letters are missing or misplaced making them a quiz.

Missing pages and subscript,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems (Hardcover)
I bought this book because this is a text book for my degree course
I noticed there are missing subscript on the one figure. My instructor allowed me to compare his book and my book, the what I found are, 1. Page 61 and page 62 is missing. 2. Missing subscript on (31) figures. I recommend you to check the book right away after receving the book. Amazon, could you send me the good one to me? I know it had already passed one month after my receving the book, but the book is a bad one.
