Fluid dynamics and the way that heat, diameter of piping, speed of gasses, and so many other factors that go into "efficiency" make this an extremely complex topic. Although, it can be broken down and understood in simple terms, the true complexity of it still exists if you really want to get down to the nitty gritty of understanding the way to make the internal combustion engine the most efficient.

Dave Coleman had a REALLY similar article in SCC a few months ago.. I didn't read this, but it looked like the same one.
