Mazda filed patents for a dual-spark-plug Skyactiv-X engine that enables more aggressive EGR and better lean combustion — a ...

Mazda may have found a way to keep its Skyactiv-X compression ignition system alive with a surprising two-plug twist.

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 ...

Gasoline and diesel engines work on similar principles, but there are some important differences, including the fact that diesel engines don't need spark plugs.

Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function. It happens when intake air—which often is combined with recirculating exhaust gas—is ...

Compression ignition engines rely on the rapid heating of air through piston-driven compression to initiate fuel autoignition, a process that underpins the performance and emissions characteristics of ...

The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by factors such as auto-ignition properties of the fuel, fuel concentration, and residual rate, and growing ...

Light-duty compression-ignition (CI) engines operating on diesel fuels have the highest thermodynamic cycle efficiency of all light-duty engine types. The CI diesel thermodynamic cycle efficiency ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

The growing demand have made researchers look into algae-based biodiesel, which is precisely a type of algae called Botryococcus braunii, as an alternate to sustainable fuel source. The feature of ...
