There are plenty of articles on combustion testing, equipment adjustments, and efficiency, but few on basic combustion knowledge or understanding. To some people, promoting setting gas pressure, ...

There are many differences between diesel and gas engines, including some less obvious aspects of engine construction, such ...

Despite sounding like a thoroughly entertaining evening out, it is actually a description for one of the most important processes in the majority of engines. Known as the four-cycle, it is the process ...

High frequency combustion instability is a very challenging subject 1. Once the high frequency combustion instability occurs, the dramatically increased heat flow on the combustor wall causes the ...

Sebastian's spare time is spent watching Formula 1, fiddling with his friends' cars (usually German money pits), and soaking up as much architectural amazement and engineering excellence as he can ...

The danger of the ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere has become one of the most pressing issues of our age. As such, much research has been conducted to find ways not ...

To achieve high-efficiency combustion of heavy fuel oil (HFO), this study investigated the combustion characteristics of methanol/HFO droplets with methanol content from 10 to 30% using the suspension ...

Heat initiates the internal combustion process. Diesel engines utilize the temperature buildup from extremely high compression (pressure) to ignite the air/fuel mixture, with a little help from glow ...

In this segment of the Series, you're provided some considerations directed toward component selections that form the "foundation" of a high performance or racing engine. To round out an understanding ...

A billionth of a second: That's how quickly some of the most critical chemical reactions of combustion occur. Argonne chemist Stephen Pratt leads the Gas-Phase Chemical Dynamics Group at Argonne. His ...

Who knew that Porsche would be the one to cook up the solution to hydrogen-powered cars? Decades of using the same shape and engine layout must have really paid dividends in saving time to work on ...
