Need book or info on Miller/Atkinson Cycle engine
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good book or other source of info on the Miller Cycle engine? As I understand, it is simular to the Atkinson Cycle (less the complex mechanism) engine but with a pump to get the specific HP back up. Thanks

Miller cycling was first proposed in a 1947 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) paper by Ralph Miller. The title was "Supercharging and Internal Cooling Cycle for High Output".
Concerning the Atkinson cycle: There are several photos or drawings of Mr. Atkinson's engines in a book by Lyle Cummins called "Internal Fire". There is also a brief description of how it worked.

Thanks for the help. The Prius article had some hard valve timing and compression ratio data!
