Internal combustion engines

An engine is a device, which transforms one form of energy into another form. While transforming energy from one form to another, the efficiency of conversion plays an important role. Normally, most of the engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work and therefore they are called ‘heat engines’. Heat engine is a device that transforms the chemical energy of a fuel into thermal energy and utilizes this thermal energy to perform useful work. Thus, thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy

States has begun to fall from a peak over a decade ago. With technological and material advances made in the last decade, it seems counterintuitive that average fuel economy had begun to decline. In order to understand the advances made in internal combustion engine technology, one must have a basic understanding of

II. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION As part of the study we have conducted two important tests, 1. Emission test 2. Fuel economy Engine used for testing have the following specifications which is tabulated in table 2.

Emission test Emission analysis was carried out in an authorized pollution testing center

The internal combustion engine is vital to the modern automobile. An internal combustion engine uses an explosive combustion of fuel to push a piston within a cylinder. The piston moves to turn a crankshaft that is connected to the car's wheels through a drive shaft. Without an engine a car could not move. The internal combustion engine has a long history of how it was improved and redesigned, without which the car would

most simple definition, is one that utilizes two or more distinct power sources to move it. When considering this vehicle type, the most common configuration is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). This frequently used configuration combines an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors to move the vehicle. To better understand the concept of hybrid vehicle technology, the areas that of the topic that should be focused on are the history of hybrid vehicles, their progression, how hybrid systems

of the United States. One such technology was the internal combustion engine, which, after the last 100 years of common use, can be considered one of the most influential technologies of the 20th century. The rapid rise in the use of engines powered by gasoline is commonly attributed to the popularity of the “Model T” car introduced by Henry Ford in 1908. Prior to this, the combustion engine faced serious competition from steam and electric engines. In order to ascertain why the Model T was so successful

electric car a viable sustainable replacement for an ICE car? The electric car is not, by any means, a new concept. The electric car was first introduced in the 19th century, but as oil was more plentiful and much cheaper than electricity, the internal combustion engine came to the forefront of the transportation sector.1 Now, as oil reserves around the globe have reached the lowest since 1973 and gas prices the world over are soaring,1 the world has turned back to the electric car.1 The electric car was

In an I C ENGINE, the expansion of the high pressure and high pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of engine.
