PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWENTIETH AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTORS' COORDINATION MEETING
These proceedings cover the major FY 1982 activities related to automotive technology development. Those activities were centered in four areas. In the automotive gas turbine area, the first build and preliminary evaluations of proof-of-concept test bed engines were completed by both industry teams involved in the program. In parallel, a continuing effort on development of ceramics processing and materials technology was carried out. In the Stirling automotive engine program, the first build of a U.S. manufactured test bed engine was completed, and dynamometer evaluations of the MOD I design, including transient performance were accomplished. Transfer of the Swedish technology base to the U.S. contractor, including comprehensive test cells and facilities, was also completed. In the heavy duty transport area, a wide range of research and development projects were initiated with emphasis on advanced uncooled diesel engines and waste-heat utilization. And finally, in the alternative fuels areas, efforts were continued to expand the technical data base for alcohol, gaseous, and synthetic fuels utilization.
