Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...

The compression ratio isn't just a number: it's one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

“Too little compression will usually result in unmet performance expectations. On the high side [too much compression] carries greater risk in tuning and potential component failure if appropriately ...

Forget variable length intakes and variable valve timing, Infiniti is going all the way and introducing variable cylinder compression ratios. The new VC-T turbo engine automatically adjusts between a ...

Hollow Glass Microspheres are inorganic, nonmetallic spherical materials created by specific processes, commonly with diameters in the range of 10 to 250 μm and wall thicknesses of 1 to 2 μm (Figure 1 ...

Diesel engines are different from gas engines in numerous ways, including their use of high compression ratios. Here's why ...
