SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...
Direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines have been investigated for many years but only recently have shown promise as a next generation gasoline engine technology. Much of this new enthusiasm ...
Control of auto-ignition phasing in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion has been achieved with a variety of methods that affect the thermodynamic state and the chemical ...
In the race to field energy-efficient vehicles, don’t count out internal combustion technology just yet. GM recently debuted its homogeneous-charge-compression-ignition (HCCI) system in two drivable ...
Port fuel injection (PFI) was a major milestone in the early '80s. The integration of PFI rapidly changed the way fuel was delivered by increasing fuel economy and improving engine performance. Even ...
Automakers have long touted the benefits of fuel injection, claiming increased efficiency and power. But as more cars have the system installed (around 73% in 2023), more and more consumers are ...
