SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1995), pp. 1240-1252 (13 pages) Cycle-by-cycle pressure data have been recorded for a spark ignition engine operating over a wide range of ...

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 ...

IF combustion of fuel-air mixtures is completed in an engine before chemical reactions have had time to take place, no knock-producing materials are formed-thus solving a chronic, critical problem.

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 ...

Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...

Aston Martin Lagonda Global has been granted a patent for a pre-combustion chamber assembly designed for spark ignition engines. This assembly features an ignition chamber that effectively removes ...

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 ...

With stricter emission standards and the rise of electric powertrains, it might seem like the internal-combustion engine's days are numbered. But Engineering Explained host Jason Fenske believes ...
