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 ...

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 ...

IN the eighty or so pages of this little book Mr. Morgan gives the result of certain experiments by others and himself to determine the nature of electric spark ignition in internal-combustion engines ...

A thermodynamic based cycle simulation which uses a thermal boundary layer, either, a fully mixed or layered adiabatic core, and a crevice combustion inefficiency routine has been used to explore the ...

Not all spark plugs are created equal, and knowing which one your car needs can vastly improve your car's fuel economy.

Comparing Future Combustion Technologies: HCCI vs PCCI vs RCCI Spark-ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) engines have ...

Spark plugs help you start gasoline engines and glow plugs do the same in diesel engines. But how do they go about providing ...

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.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 ...

Around the world, automakers and their suppliers are working to make motor vehicles environmentally friendlier. The strictest standards have been set for markets in Europe and the United States. The ...
