Modern compression ignition engines convert fuel energy into mechanical work by auto-igniting a compressed air–fuel mixture. Accurate modelling of in-cylinder processes is vital for both performance ...

November 28: At this week's L.A. Auto Show, Mazda unveiled the newly redesigned 2019 Mazda 3, which is available as a sedan or as a neat-looking hatchback. More importantly, the car will feature Mazda ...

Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function. It happens when intake air—which often is combined with recirculating exhaust gas—is ...

Ethanol-diesel blends represent a promising route to reduce carbon intensity and particulate emissions from compression ignition engines while utilising existing infrastructure. By incorporating ...

In 1673, Christian Huygens invented the first engine. It was designed to pump water from the Seine River to King Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles. Built with an open combustion chamber, it consumed ...

Diesel’s on the outs in Europe, and EVs aren’t ready for prime time. Skyactiv-X seems, at this juncture, a hedge bet against both aspects. EV infrastructure lags massively behind our petroleum ...

Yesterday at the Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda released new info on its highly anticipated compression-ignition Skyactiv-X engine. It's all a bit daunting if you're not an engineer, but helpfully, Mazda put ...

The internal combustion engine, now more than 200 years old, will be with us for a long time to come yet. Powering more than 1 billion vehicles on the planet and almost 100 million new ones each year, ...

General Motors will display an advanced technology compression ignition engine at its Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan today. The engine is a peek at new internal combustion engine developments at ...

Mazda’s new SkyActiv-X engine will go against every convention you thought you understood about gasoline engines. It’s supercharged, but for efficiency purposes, not to increase power. It has a ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...
