This book focuses on the investigation of innovative engine technologies that can improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines and reduce their environmental impact. In particular, water injection is examined as a means of improving engine behavior. The possible combination of water injection with renewable fuels is also a topic of the book. The results of this experimental and numerical research show positive results that can be used for further research and development of engines.
