MUNICH, Germany — Future engine management systems will be based on the pressure measured in the combustion engine's cylinders and will use variable valve control, for example. This major new ...

A flame sheet model for NO production in multi-dimensional diesel simulation has been developed. It explicitly addresses that because of the finite computational cell resolution, the local temperature ...

Air flowing into a four-stroke diesel engine gets cleaned as it passes through the air filter. It then flows through tubing until it is compressed in the spinning blades of the turbo. As a result, the ...
