The second edition of Engine In The Nutshell covers the fuel system for Ethanol and Hydrogen and their combustion characteristics. It also reveals the factors influencing the combustion efficiency in engines based on Fuel Stratification, Spray Pattern, Flow Velocity etc. The systems necessary for emission control like the Positive Crankcase Ventilation, Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and Exhaust After Treatment System are also explained thoroughly. This book also unveils various methods of Twin Turbocharging with a dedicated chapter on Engine Control Systems explaining the workings of every sensor and microcontroller involved in the electronic control system of the engine.
Purvang Mantri
Purvang Mantri was born on 18th January 1998, in a Maharashtrian family living in Vadodara, Gujarat. After completing his schooling, Purvang went on to pursue Diploma in Automobile Engineering in the year 2013 and Bachelor’s in Automobile Engineering in 2016. During his bachelor’s, Purvang used to participate in a competition like Baja, organized by SAE India and Mahindra and Mahindra. During his participation in the event of Baja, he worked on the suspension system of their Baja buggy. He even led a team representing his institute in the event of Virtual Baja once.

While working as a faculty, Purvang used to teach subjects like Vehicle Dynamics, Automotive Certification and Homologation and Basics of Automobile Engineering to the students of Automobile and Mechanical Engineering. Apart from teaching, he also mentored students who participated in competitions like SAE India’s Efficycle and ISIE’s Go-Kart.
In 2020, Purvang started pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in Electric Mobility from the College of Engineering Pune in collaboration with the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). While pursuing his post-graduate diploma, he worked as a student intern for Altair India, where he worked on a thermal cooling system for a two-wheeler battery pack using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). At the same time, he made videos related to automobile engineering and motorcycle reviews for his YouTube channel.
The motive of the YouTube channel was to spread the knowledge of automobile engineering to everyone, who is keen to learn and make the concept of vehicles easy to digest by anyone. With his channel, Purvang is answering the queries of the students who are either pursuing automobile engineering or wants to pursue automobile engineering. He has made videos related to some basic topics as well as advanced and future-oriented technologies, which will be seen in upcoming vehicles. Today, his channel has over 1000 subscribers and is still climbing.
