Engineers have a lot to think about when designing new engines, and one of the biggest considerations is the shape of the ...

Getting from A to B by most means of transport is polluting; incomplete combustion of fuels releases soot and unburned fuel into the atmosphere, along with greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide and ...

Every fleet strives to achieve two things when it comes to engines. The first is to maintain efficiency in order to reduce operating and service costs. The other is to ensure the longest possible ...

Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has long called Los Angeles home. He's had a lifelong obsession with cars and motorcycles (both old and new). One of the cool ...

At the end of May, the final meeting of the "Horizon 2020" project "GasOn" with the EU Commission took place in Brussels. The aim of this EU project was the further development of gas engines for cars ...

Purdue University’s Greg Shaver doesn’t believe there should be a trade-off between protecting the air we breathe and achieving better engine efficiency of large vehicles on the road. Shaver, a ...

Here in 2019, only the most fringe reactionaries are able to claim with a straight face that climate change is not a thing. But after years of the media doing its “two sides” thing, recalcitrant ...

One famous limit of thermodynamics is that heat engines, like steam engines and internal combustion engines, must be less efficient than a Carnot heat engine (a heat engine cycle designed by French ...

Diesel aircraft engines promise lower fuel burn and cheaper operating costs at a time when every gallon and every kilogram matter in the air. Yet as manufacturers push these powerplants into more ...

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. The Scuderi brothers can sit around a table like any group of siblings, teasing one another about who's the best looking or the smartest of the bunch. But in between those good ...

Some benefits of re-engining programs are due to the fact that newer engine models typically embody more advanced technologies and design and manufacturing processes than were available for the ...

As you may know, an engine's compression ratio is directly linked to its combustion efficiency. All else being equal, higher-compression engines tend to make more power while offering better fuel ...
