Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That is why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

A miracle has happened. The 250,000 mile diesel, manual Chrysler Voyager that I bought sight-unseen in Germany for $600 actually runs and drives. Here's how I made that happen and what problems I ...

As Mazda and Infiniti have proved, there's a lot of innovation left in the internal-combustion engine. One of the more wild concepts we've seen is called Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition ...

The effect of ambient gas hydrocarbon content on diesel spray ignition and combustion was examined in this research project. A single-stroke rapid compression machine was used to prepare the ambient ...

The influence of charge motion and fuel injection characteristics on diesel combustion was studied in a rapid compression machine (RCM), a research apparatus that simulates the direct-injection diesel ...
