Modern engines promise more power, cleaner emissions and better fuel economy than the stout iron blocks of the 1980s and ...

LEMONT - Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have joined forces with Caterpillar Inc. to develop a potential new piston design for heavy-duty diesel engines.

On paper, modern engines should have buried their predecessors long ago. Computer-controlled fuel injection, turbocharging ...

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing the diesel engine business today is “re-orienting” design efforts away from a focus on exhaust emissions to fuel economy, performance, and component integration – ...

March 8, 2009 Fiat Group used the Geneva Auto Show to launch a new engine technology which could ultimately be as important as the common rail diesel technology it invented 15 years ago. Dubbed ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Rocket engines and the internal-combustion cycle get a remake, thanks to engineering ingenuity. When it comes to engines, smaller and more powerful are always better. Throw in less expensive and ...

A team of engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney has figured out a way to run a diesel engine on a mix of diesel and hydrogen, dramatically lowering its emissions. Why do we ...

THE Diesel engine has now been constructed successfully in. so many different types that any book on its design which is not restricted to one particular line of development must almost necessarily ...
