Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That’s why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

In this article, we explore why the legendary 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel continues to be known by many as the most ...

When comparing engine specs for nearly any combustion engine automobile, we see a number of variations available with differing outputs of horsepower and torque. We often have a choice of gasoline or ...

The purpose of this study is to conduct an experimental assessment of the impact of RCCI (reactivity regulated compression ignition) on the performance, emissions, and combustion of a CRDI engine. A ...

Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function. It happens when intake air—which often is combined with recirculating exhaust gas—is ...

Gasoline and diesel engines are very different. The former rely on spark ignition while the latter use compression ignition. Diesel engines typically run at much higher compression ratios than ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...

Light-duty compression-ignition (CI) engines operating on diesel fuels have the highest thermodynamic cycle efficiency of all light-duty engine types. The CI diesel thermodynamic cycle efficiency ...
