It may seem dirty and outdated compared with the batteries that power electric vehicles, but the internal combustion engine is set for a makeover that could halve its greenhouse gas emissions. Today’s ...

November 18, 2005 The turbo-charger , which has dominated the development of the internal combustion engine for the last 30 years, turned 100 years old this week. On 16 November 1905 Swiss engineer Dr ...

Researchers have developed a hybrid CFD-neural network model for predicting TAIs in hydrogen-fueled turbines, improving ...

The most transportable and rugged sources of power are IC engines. Most industrial internal combustion (IC) engines in the low-power range, about 30 hp or less, are gasoline powered because diesel ...

A significant drawback to HCCI engines is the knocking caused by rapid increases in pressure. Such knocking limits the capacity for high-load operation. To solve this problem, thermal stratification ...

Direct numerical simulations let researchers improve combustion efficiency and lower pollution in diesel engines. “Cool flames” may sound contradictory, but they could lead to better engine designs ...

The German automaker sees your four-stroke engine and raises you... two more strokes. Ready for some math? Porsche just patented an engine design titled: "Method for a Combustion Machine With Two ...

FOR years, the motor industry lived by the mantra, “bigger is better”. The number of litres that a car’s pistons displaced within its engine’s cylinders was a matter of pride for its owner. This was ...
