It's important to keep in mind that the combustion process occurs in a very brief period of time. Due to a variety of conditions that include mixture density, homogeneity, temperature, fuel ...

Manufacturers are leaving no stone unturned in the quest to improve the efficiency of their internal combustion engines. Just this week, we've seen a fastidiously engineered diesel engine from Ford ...

Cost planning for newer engine types can be complicated by their lack of global fleet hours and reliability data. Credit: Laure Lemeille/AFI KLM E&M Life-cycle cost management of widebody engines may ...

Quantum work: A quantum thermochemical engine operating in an Otto cycle with a weakly interacting 1D Bose gas as its working fluid. The initialization and exhaust strokes are performed by coupling ...

Technologies for reducing fuel consumption of medium-and heavy-duty vehicles depend on the power train type. For instance, replacing gasoline engines with diesel engines in medium-duty trucks is a ...

For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...
