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 ...

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...

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 ...

Mixture formation and the ignition process in 4 cycle 4 cylinder spark ignition engines were investigated, using an optical combustion sensor that combines fiber optics with a conventional spark plug.

A diesel engine is simultaneously incredibly simple and incredibly violent, using compression as a means of ignition. This is because of the properties of diesel fuel: Namely, diesel is less volatile ...

The film discusses the development and advantages of the Wankel rotary engine, introduced by Felix Wankel in the early 20th century. It highlights the simplicity, fewer moving parts, and efficiency of ...
