Water injection is a tried-and-true method for cleaning up the combustion process in a diesel engine. It reduces both combustion temperatures and the resulting particular emissions. But what if you ...

Scientists are exploring a surprisingly simple way to clean up diesel engines: adding tiny droplets of water to the fuel. During combustion, the water rapidly vaporizes, triggering micro-explosions ...

The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

High pressure common rail system can precisely control the injection time and injection pressure to improve the thermal efficiency of the engine. The injection characteristics of the system can affect ...

In 1673, Christian Huygens invented the first engine. It was designed to pump water from the Seine River to King Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles. Built with an open combustion chamber, it consumed ...
