The paper first reviews the current state of development of ‘adiabatic’ diesel engines in Europe and the US. This review section is followed by a brief description of the experimental programme on thermal barrier components for single cylinder engines in the University of Bath, England, and finally by a theoretical section dealing with the performance potential of compound engine schemes based on ‘adiabatic’ engine operation.
