The continuous drive for enhanced efficiency and reliability in modern diesel engines has prompted extensive research into the thermal management of critical components such as pistons. The ...

As a means of exploring the use of optical imaging techniques in the study of engine flow and combustion problems, we have applied several imaging techniques in different laboratory engines and engine ...

The theoretical approaches for determining the amount and distribution of heat flow in pistons are discussed and their limitations pointed out. A simplified theoretical model of a cylindrical disk ...

Piston ring end gaps matter more than you think because they manage pressure and heat, preventing catastrophic failures ...

High-output engines live in a world of brutal cylinder pressures, extreme temperatures and razor-thin safety margins, and the humble piston sits at the center of that storm. When power levels climb, ...

Achates Power of San Diego has developed a two-stroke truck diesel that has two crankshafts linked to two opposed pistons facing each other in a common cylinder. The biggest advantage of this design ...

1. EcoMotors is developing high-efficiency engines — specifically the unique opoc (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder) engine — for use in cars, light trucks, marine applications, agricultural vehicles, ...

QUESTION: I’ve been shopping for a new outboard engine. My old engine was described as a “cross flow.” Some engines are referred to as a cross flow and some are loop-type engines. What is the ...
