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 ...
As long as the internal combustion engine has existed, engineers have been trying to find better ways of igniting the highly combustable mixture of air and gasoline that powers cars. Everything from ...
Fitting a gasoline-powered car engine with frikkin’ laser spark plugs may seem like one sci-fi step too far, but since it improves the combustion and cleans-up the exhaust, it may be the gas engine’s ...
A new modelling approach for premixed turbulent combustion has been developed and implemented in computing flow and combustion in axisymmetric engine cylinders. Turbulent transport is treated using a ...
Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...
Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the type ...
ABSTRACT Turbulent Jet Ignition is an advanced pre-chamber initiated combustion system for an otherwise standard spark ignition engine found in current on-road vehicles. This type of ignition enables ...
There is no shortage of people around the world today who seem pretty certain that the days of the internal combustion engine (ICE) as the primary form of propulsion for transportation are effectively ...
Purdue University researchers are working on methods to use jet ignition technology to help power personal cars and other automobiles. (Stock photo) The same technology used in jets soon may be ...
What many consider the Holy Grail of combustion technology is one step closer to prime time. In the race to field energy-efficient vehicles, don’t count out internal combustion technology just yet. GM ...
One thing that sticks out about Mazda is their frugality. Their cars are about less being more — less weight, fewer cylinders, more space efficiency inside. Some of this is actually a necessity ...
