The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by factors such as auto-ignition properties of the fuel, fuel concentration, and residual rate, and growing ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

You might have heard about high compression ratios, but what exactly are they, and what kind of effect do they have on an ...

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition. What is the future of gasoline engines, or internal combustion engines? HCCI is an alternative to traditional gasoline or diesel engines, which doesn't use a ...

Low- And High-Compression Fuel Economy Engines: The Techniques Are About The Same, But The Approach To Each Is Somewhat Different. A.Most stock cylinder heads have factory-cut undercuts of the type ...

Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function. It happens when intake air—which often is combined with recirculating exhaust gas—is ...

50% fuel economy over current gasoline engines. It operates kind of like a diesel engine. The one demonstrated is a single cylinder engine but they are working on multi-cylinder engines. Still... if ...
