disappointed. I though very hard about purchasing me a hybrid vehicle. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more power sources to move a vehicle. (Wikipedia‚ 2007)These vehicles contain one or more electric motors and an internal combustion engine. There are many types of power sources that can be used on a hybrid vehicle. Some powers sources include gasoline or diesel fuel‚ rechargeable energy storage system‚ hydrogen‚ compressed air‚ wind‚ solar‚ human powered‚ compressed natural

Karnataka‚ INDIA.) 3.4 (Department of Mechanical Engineering‚ AIT‚ Chikmagalur‚ Karnataka‚ INDIA.) ABSTRACT The gas force due to the combustion in the cylinder of an IC engine will cause the piston to move with primary motion and secondary motion. The primary motion of the piston from TDC to BDC is linear in nature. This motion is desired for translation of motion of engine components. Secondary motion is due to the transverse motion of the piston while piston moving from TDC to BDC and vice-versa. The

INTRODUCTION An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another form. Most of the engines convert thermal engine to mechanical work and therefore they are called heat engine. Heat engine can be broadly classified into two types. i. Internal combustion engine ii. External combustion engine 1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE:- This type of engine is again classified into two types. i. Rotary ii. Reciprocating The reciprocating engine is a highly complex engine and has

Box 91775-1111‚ Mashhad‚ IRAN. m-razavi@ferdowsi.um.ac.ir SUMMARY The way in which position of spark plug affects combustion in spark ignition engine was studied by using the developed quasi-dimensional cycle simulation (using two-zone burning model) program. The purpose of this paper is to model the geometric interaction between the propagating flame and the general cylindrical combustion chamber

they don’t produce the pollution associated with internal combustion engines. According to the Electric Vehicle Association of Canada‚ or EVAC‚ even EVs recharged from coal-powered electric generators cut carbon emission roughly in half. EVs recharged from cleaner forms of electrical power generation‚ such as hydropower and nuclear plants‚ can reduce carbon emissions to less than one percent of those currently produced by internal combustion engines. So‚ even in the worst case scenario‚ cars operated

Compressed-air engine A Compressed-air engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. They have existed in many forms over the past two centuries‚ ranging in size from hand held turbines up to several hundred horsepower. Some types rely on pistons and cylinders‚ others use turbines. Many compressed air engines improve their performance by heating the incoming air‚ or the engine itself. Some took this a stage further and burned fuel in the cylinder or turbine
