whereas driving a diesel-powered truck shows that you do not care about environment with your smoky‚ loud engine and you can usually be found at a gas station fueling up. However‚ are the stereotypes correct? With advancement in clean diesel technology‚ lower costs in overall maintenance and better fuel efficiency as well as a safer‚ stronger engine‚ there is a clear advantage within diesel engines. First‚ let’s look at cost using a GMC Sierra 2500HD. Buying the truck initially is more costly

The four stroke engine includes various parts such as‚ intake‚ compression‚ combustion‚ and exhaust stroke. The term stroke is used to describe the full travel of the piston along the cylinder‚ in whichever direction. A four stroke engine is one of the most common engine types. It powers almost all trucks and cars today. Each one corresponds to one full stroke of the piston. All four of these parts help make the engine function as a whole. The first stroke is called the intake stroke the first stroke

STROKE ENGINE INTRODUCTION: Both two stroke and four stroke engine consumes more amount of fuel in which half of the energy goes waste as heat energy. Using SIX STROKE engine the heat energy is minimized to a greater extent by converting the heat energy into useful power stroke.

Six-stroke engine From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine‚ but with additional complexity intended to make it more efficient and reduce emissions. Two types of six-stroke engine have been developed since the 1890s: In the first approach‚ the engine captures the heat lost from the four-stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and uses it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke

POLLUTION FROM DIESEL ENGINES AND ITS CONTROL Diesel engines and gasoline engines are the most widely used primary sources of power in automobiles and the sheer number of them makes the issue of emissions from these engines an important one. Table 1 gives a comparison of the amounts of different pollutants in the exhaust of diesel and petrol engines. FORMATION OF NOX AND CONTROL METHODS: The main source of NOx in diesel engine emissions is the oxidation of the nitrogen in the air at the high temperatures

Applied Science Research 12th Grade 10/21/07 Stirling Engine Brandon Risberg Abstract: This paper includes a historical overview of the Stirling engine. It also includes an overview of the mechanics of a Stirling engine‚ and the results of the author’s project to build a Stirling engine. Although this engine did not work‚ this paper includes ways to improve in future projects. History: The original Stirling engine was designed and developed by Reverend Dr Robert Stirling [1]‚ a fantastic engineer

Parts of the marine diesel engine Below is a cross-sectional view of a Sulzer Main Diesel Engine and the names of the component parts. The starting air valve is used to lead highly compressed air to push the piston for turning the engine when starting. In this 2-stroke engine‚ the air intake and exhaust are taken into the engine cylinder liner through scavenging ports and exhaust ports. The cylinder head covers the top of the cylinder and houses the starting air valve‚ fuel valve or injector

global warming are the cars humans drive every‚ more specifically the engines that power them. Gasoline engines are a major problem because of the emissions they put into the atmosphere; however‚ electric engines and other alternatives may prove to be the future. Gasoline engines have been powerhouses literally and figuratively for a long time. Not only

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION At first glance the idea of running an engine on air seems to be too good to be true. Actually‚ if we can make use of air as an aid for running an engine it is a fantastic idea. As we all know‚ air is all around us‚ it never runs out‚ it is non-polluting and it is free. An Air Driven Engine makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation. Compressed Air Technology is now widely preferred for research by different industries for developing different drives for different
