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 ...

The combustion process in a diesel engine was simulated using KIVA-II, a multi-dimensional computer code. The original combustion model in KIVA-II is based on chemical kinetics, and thus fails to ...

Recently, I girded my loins and headed over the border to Jacobs University in Bremen to attend the European conference on nonlinear optical spectroscopy. In addition to discovering the joy involved ...

Despite sounding like a thoroughly entertaining evening out, it is actually a description for one of the most important processes in the majority of engines. Known as the four-cycle, it is the process ...

Researchers use Direct Numerical Simulations to enhance efficiency, reduce pollution in diesel engines. A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- ...

The internal combustion (IC) engine's excessive global utilization has always made it a subject of engineering research. While IC engines involve complex fluid flow interaction during the combustion ...

Cold fusion, despite probably being impossible, is a good idea. Take a process known to create a meaningful amount of power and remove the harmful byproducts (like explosions), and you've got a winner ...
