Find out what triggers detonation and pre-ignition, why ignition timing really matters, and how these problems can seriously ...

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 ...

As long as the internal combustion engine has existed, engineers have been trying to find better ways of igniting the highly combustable mixture of air and gasoline that powers cars. Everything from ...

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 ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 14, No. 3 (2021), pp. 335-344 (10 pages) The addition of a spark plug in place of the original fuel injector and fumigating natural gas (NG) inside the ...

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 ...

Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the type ...

IN the eighty or so pages of this little book Mr. Morgan gives the result of certain experiments by others and himself to determine the nature of electric spark ignition in internal-combustion engines ...

Fitting a gasoline-powered car engine with frikkin’ laser spark plugs may seem like one sci-fi step too far, but since it improves the combustion and cleans-up the exhaust, it may be the gas engine’s ...

Ali Solouk received an SAE International best presentation and dean’s outstanding research scholar awards for his research on integrating high efficiency engines with electrified powertrain technology ...

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 ...
