เนื้อหาย่อ : Dr. John B. Heywood received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965. Following an additional post- doctoral year of research at MIT, he worked as a research officer at the Central Electricity Generating Board's Research Laboratory in England on magneto- hydrodynamic power generation. In 1968 he joined the faculty at MIT where he is Professor of Mechanical Engineering. At MIT he is Director of the Sloan Automotive Laboratory. He is currently Head of the Fluid and Thermal Science Division of the Mechanical Engineering Department, and the Transportation Energy Program Director in the MIT Energy Laboratory. He is faculty advisor to the MIT Sports Car Club. Professor Heywood's teaching and research interests lie in the areas of ther- modynamics, combustion, energy, power, and propulsion. During the past two decades, his research activities have centered on the operating characteristics and fuels requirements of automotive and aircraft engines. A major emphasis has been on computer models which predict the performance, efficiency, and emis- sions of spark-ignition, diesel, and gas turbine engines, and in carrying out experiments to develop and validate these models. He is also actively involved in technology assessments and policy studies related to automotive engines, auto- mobile fuel utilization, and the control of air pollution. He consults frequently in the automotive and petroleum industries, and for the U.S. Government. His extensive research in the field of engines has been supported by the U.S. Army, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, National Science Foundation, automobile and diesel engine manufacturers, and petroleum companies. He has presented or published over a hundred papers on
