Every car engine has quite a few details, ranging from cylinder count to compression ratios. How does changing the compression ratio affect the engine?

Will joined the TopSpeed team over two and a half years ago, bringing his lifelong automotive passion, writing experience, and editorial expertise along with him. Whether classic or modern, American ...

IRVINE, Calif.—Despite rumors to the contrary, the internal combustion engine is far from dead. Recently we’ve seen several technological advances that will significantly boost the efficiency of ...

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

A new modelling approach for premixed turbulent combustion has been developed and implemented in computing flow and combustion in axisymmetric engine cylinders. Turbulent transport is treated using a ...

Even today, in a time when electric power is beginning to take a major hold, internal combustion engines (ICE) are the driving forces of our world. They probably won't be that for long, though, so ...

There is no shortage of people around the world today who seem pretty certain that the days of the internal combustion engine (ICE) as the primary form of propulsion for transportation are effectively ...

ABSTRACT To reduce carbon dioxide emission and to relieve the demand of fossil fuels, ethanol is regarded as one of the most promising alternative fuels for gasoline. Recently, using ethanol in the ...
