In the pursuit to improve thermal and fuel efficiencies of internal combustion engines,
various engine designs and configurations have been developed over recent years. Since …

Diesel/methane combustion still encounters challenges in terms of lower combustion
stability and elevated levels of HC and CO emissions. The valve lift (VL) technique is a …

This article first gives a brief review of thermal engines designed for terrestrial transportation
since the 1900s. We then outline the main developments in the state of the art and …

The present study investigates the effect of the injection strategy on the mixture quality and
the consequential combustion characteristics. The injection strategies considered in the …

VVL and VVT are two common approaches to reduce engine pum** loss at part loads,
however, the comparative study on their potentials and influence factors of pum** loss …

Steam flow is the main form for energy transfer in power plants, process industries, etc. The
flow rate of the steam relates to the energy transfer amount directly. Pressure reducing …

This paper focuses on optimizing the hydrogen TMI (timed manifold injection) system
through valve lift law and hydrogen injection parameters (pressure, injection inclination and …

This study investigated effects of dimethyl ether addition on the gasoline engine combustion
and emissions performance under idle and stoichiometric conditions. The engine was first …

The activity presented in the paper is focused on the development of a high-performance
engine specifically dedicated to CNG fueling. The engine features a variable valve actuation …

During the combustion process, any amount of excess heat needs to be dissipated to
prevent engine damage. The heat dissipation from the engine cylinder is achieved through …
