The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

Turbocharger use is more prolific than ever, and understanding how one works explains why it’s such a popular choice. To understand the benefit of a turbo, we need a refresher on the basics of the ...

As news emerged of which Formula 1 power unit manufacturers are eligible for extra development, here's how the much discussed ...

Combustion efficiency in internal combustion engines refers to the proportion of chemical energy in the fuel that is converted into useful mechanical work. Attaining high combustion efficiency is ...

A new study published in Engineering has explored a pilot-ignition reactivity-stratification (PIRS) combustion strategy for ammonia-fueled compression ignition engines, realizing a high ammonia energy ...

Any certified gearhead knows that diesel engines do not use spark plugs. But why not? If power in an engine is created by combustion or explosion of flammable liquids, won't a spark plug in a diesel ...

The present study focuses on evaluating split-injection strategies in an ammonia–diesel dual-fuel (ADDF) engine at 1800 rpm under medium load conditions, a load range of particular interest in ...

Since then, the EcoBoost engine has expanded throughout Ford's lineup with three-, four-, and six-cylinder versions. There is more to how the EcoBoost engine works beyond turbocharging, but the ...
