SAE Transactions, Vol. 108, Section 4: JOURNAL OF FUELS AND LUBRICANTS (1999), pp. 2185-2201 (17 pages) Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the fuei/air mixing preparation in a gasoline ...

Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

In Part One of this series (January '93), we discussed how an internal-combustion engine heats a fuel-and-air mixture to convert it into mechanical energy. In February, we reviewed how a four ...

The intake manifold distributes air or air/fuel mixtures to the individual cylinders under varying engine speeds, loads, and environmental conditions. Whether the working flow is pure air, air/fuel, ...

A research team in Japan and Romania has offered an alternative to conventional spark plugs, replacing them with durable lasers to ignite the fuel- air mixture that would lower consumption and raise ...
