    chose it and what I am hoping to be in the future. Part B will be a comparison between LJMU and the University of Liverpool, also it will provide an information of a lecturer in LJMU. Part C will compare and contrast between two types of internal combustion engines. Part A Engineering is a very important specialization and it can be founded in every organization, I am interested in studying engineering especially mechanical engineering which is the subject of understanding the principle of engineering

    Exhaust Gas Recirculation 1. INTRODUCTION All internal combustion engines generate power by creating explosions using fuel and air. These explosions occur inside the engine's cylinders and push the pistons down, which turns the crankshaft. Some of the power thus produced is used to prepare the cylinders for the next explosion by forcing the exhaust gases out of the cylinder, drawing in air (or fuel-air mixture in non-diesel engines), and compressing the air or fuel-air mixture before the fuel is

    1.1. Objective and Goal of the Project The project is done in the area of engine position management which is used in gasoline 4-stroke engines. During the development of device drivers for the engine, it is very important to test each and every feature of the device driver. Before going to the vehicle testing or software integration, the device driver software has to be tested completely. For this purpose, mini test benches can be used. This test setup should provide the necessary input signals

    completing the combustion and emitting less emissions [87]; (2) high laminar flame propagation speed, which may com-plete the combustion process earlier resulting in improved thermal efficiency of the engine [88]; and ignition propensity (i.e., knock resistance, octane rating) of alcohols which is perhaps their most attractive feature for internal combustion engine applications, especially of SI engines. A higher octane rating correlates with a lower propensity for ignition and allows the SI engines to operate

    mechanic and engineer from France, invented the first road vehicle that was propelled by its self. “Steam engines powered cars by burning fuel that heated water in a boiler, creating steam that expanded and pushed pistons that turned the crankshaft, which then turned the wheels”(inventors.about.com). Steam engines were very heavy so it was a bad design for road vehicles. It was powered by a steam engine and it could move at the very slow speed of 2 and half miles per hour. It only had three wheels and

    thermal efficiency of basic engine and bimetallic piston engine was found to be comparable for gasoline and gasoline blended ethanol and methanol. At 880W load brake thermal efficiency of 18.9% was obtained for gasoline with basic engine whereas it was 21.38% and 20.2% using ethanol blended gasoline E20 and methanol blended gasoline M20 with basic engine respectively. At 880W load brake thermal efficiency of 20.19% was obtained for gasoline with bimetallic piston engine whereas it was 25.86% and 23

    How can the electronic and hybrid engines be used instead of the petrol engines Introduction: Hybrid engines and electric and other forms of fuel are being tried the world over on account of multiple problems. It is not only for vehicles but also for the industries that use fossil fuels and chemicals for manufacture. The primary problem is the pollution of the air, water and the entire planet on account of fossil fuel use. Not all fossil fuel forms are harmful. For example CNG, compressed natural
