Combustion Engine Versus Eco-Friendly Engine As the population becomes dependent on the environment, environmentally friendly vehicles have appeared as an alternative to gas-powered vehicles. Many methods exist to power SUV’s, trucks, and cars. Vehicles are powered by the combustion of both gasoline and diesel fuel. The transportation industry is drastically trying to improve its methods for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants to the environment. Electric cars notably are…

cylinder test engine block will be combined with a Ford cylinder head, then to be installed on the testbed coupled with an AC dynamometer. After connecting the control sensors, the engine will be tested in various operating conditions. 1.1 Background Engine is a machine which converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially the combustion engine converts combustion energy into mechanical energy. The reciprocating internal combustion engine has two main types：SI engines, where…

dollars over five years(10) pg. 18. Diesel engines are superior to gas engines due to longevity, simplicity and reliability. A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine (ICE), in which heat produced…

Then, all of a sudden, I heard the roar of a car engine. A car was racing down a nearby street and then the screech car tires echoed throughout the town. “That was close, probably on the main street parallel to me”, I thought. The squeal of sliding tires kept on going and going, for what seemed like a lifetime. Then, I heard the car crash and followed by only the eerie sound of crickets in the night. Still in work mode from a long day on the job, I decided to go check it out. Driving to the…

There are numerous types of car engines which can be categorized depending upon the ignition system, total number of cylinders, block design, camshaft location, strokes per cycle, cooling system and so on. Presently deployed ignition system are spark ignition (gasoline engine) and compression ignition (diesel engine) which use different types of fuel. The required voltage for ignition system is generated from a 12 volt battery (which are generally lead-acid type and a series connection of…

methods of improving a turbocharger’s efficiency at low engine RPMs through the use of steam. Other methods of increasing turbocharging efficiency include two-stage turbos and electrically assisted turbos; however, steam was determined to be the most efficient. The authors determined that by injecting steam into the turbine rather than exhaust gases at low RPMs, engine performance “can be increased by 25.0% over the exhaust turbocharging engine…” The test were conducted using mathematical…

Diesel engine The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency in any internal…

what kind of engine is in it. Is it a diesel engine or a gasoline engine? All heavy equipment today has a diesel engine in it. Semi-truck must have a diesel engine in it for all the load that the trucks are pulling. 3/40-ton trucks are different; they can have both diesel or a gas engine. With diesel engines, there are so many different engine brands/ manufactures such as Cummins, Powerstroke, Duramax, International, Caterpillar and each diesel engine runs differently. Diesel engines have their…

a great desirable challenge to build an engine having more power generation & less fuel consumption,which are desired parameters for the increased efficiency of the engine. For getting more power engine needs more fuel and if less fuel consumption is needed the power transmitted will be less. In conventional engines the heat energy using is 30% of produced energy and the remaining energy nearly 70% is going as waste. That means, to get more power from engine the fuel resources are wasting by…

to the use of fossil fuel in combustion engines, especially in individual transportation, has grown with ups and downs over time. Increased awareness of climate change and global warming have enforced the so called hydrogen energy transition, which describes the significant change from the dominant oil based technologies towards the use of hydrogen as a clean fuel in transportation. Although hydrogen could be used instead of fossil fuel in combustion engines, its replacement by a fuel cell is…
