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

Increasing an engine’s compression ratio is a proven way of unlocking extra horsepower, but there’s a point of diminishing returns. The team at Garage 54, the Russian mechanics who built a V16 using ...

Red Bull Powertrains' Ben Hodgkinson is confident of having a fully legal engine in 2026, amidst speculation regarding ...

Steady state experiments on a single cylinder spark ignition engine were performed to investigate the effects of compression ratio on nitric oxide and hydrocarbon emissions using natural gas as the ...

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 ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 11, No. 6 (2018), pp. 643-656 (14 pages) In this work, various techniques are numerically investigated to assess and quantify their relative effectiveness in ...

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 ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

For more than a century now, automotive engineers have struggled with an unavoidable balancing act when it comes to engine compression. Now, thanks to an innovation from Infiniti, they may get to ...
