periods‚ and was of little practical use. In 1807 Nicé phore Nié and his brother Claude probably created the world’s pce first internal combustion engine which they called a Pyré olophore‚ but they chose to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally‚ in 1807 the Swiss inventor Franç Isaac de Rivaz designed his own ’de Rivaz internal combustion ois engine’ and used it to develop the world’s first vehicle‚ to be powered by such an engine. The Nié pces’ Pyré olophore was fuelled

than lead at boosting octane rating (+2.5) and making car run smoother. It’s cheaper than lead‚ and ethanol-blended fuels leave no gummy deposits‚ thus keeps engine clean. Although a minimal 10% ethanol blend should be compatible with internal combustion engines‚ it can cause slight damage to unmodified cars‚ such as the deterioration of rubber/plastic components in fuel systems. Ethanol contains the hydroxyl (-OH) group‚ giving it an affinity for water. In vehicles‚ the absorption of water by ethanol-blended

Honda has been the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959‚ as well as the world’s largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume‚ producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. Honda surpassed Nissan in 2001 to become the second-largest Japanese automobile manufacturer. As of August 2008‚ Honda surpassed Chrysler as the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1. STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME (SIWES) The objective of the SIWES Unit is to ensure that students in Science and Technology-based disciplines are made to acquire sufficient practical knowledge so that when they get employed on graduation they become immediately productive with little of no further training in their fields of specialization. The SIWES Unit is responsible for the coordination of the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES)

gas is pumped from the fuel tank. This means that any modifications to the cam in an attempt to make the engine "breathe better" will allow the cylinders to pull more fuel through the carburetor resulting in a more dense explosive mixture in the combustion chamber. The end result… unrivaled power! Multi-point fuel injection injects fuel into the intake port just upstream of the cylinder’s intake valve‚ rather than at a central point within an intake manifold. MPFI (or just MPI) systems can be

Title: The Four-Stroke Internal Combustion Engine Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the history of the four-stroke engine‚ how it works and some brief information to other types of engines. Thesis Statement: Internal combustion engines are very important to today ’s society‚ the four stroke engine is the most popular and important due to it long history of achievement and durability. I. Introduction 1. Attention getter- Imagine life without the engine‚ to be more specific the four-stroke

based gasoline and diesel fuels that these cars use. The fuel burns through a process in which has no other positive feedback besides getting us from point A to point B. During that process air pollution is formed from evaporation and combustion. During the combustion process carbon monoxide‚ nitrogen oxides‚ hydro carbons‚ and air toxin are released into the environment. Air toxins are what has been suspected/ known to cause cancer and other serious health and environmental issues. The other gasses

Diesel in 1892. He wanted to create an engine that would be more efficient than the steam engine‚ which was only 12% efficient. He filed for a patent in Germany in February of 1892. He was granted a patent for a “Working Method and Design for Combustion Engines...new efficient‚ thermal engine” (History). With his patent ready‚ he made contracts with large companies such as Frederick Krupp and other manufacturers. Diesel created his first working engine a year later‚ which ran on peanut oil.
