  2. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    The above states that the system (the mass of gas) returns to the original thermodynamic state it was in at the start of the cycle. Where is energy added to the system from 1–2–3 and is energy removed from the system from 3–4–1. In terms of work and heat added to the system

  3. Chrysler 2.2 & 2.5 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_2.2_&_2.5_engine

    The first version of this engine family was a normally aspirated 2.2 L (134 cu in) unit. Developed under the leadership of Chief Engineer – Engine Design and Development Willem Weertman and head of performance tuning Charles "Pete" Hagenbuch, who had worked on most of Chrysler's V-8 engines and the Chrysler Slant-6 engine, [1] it was introduced in the 1981 Dodge Aries, Dodge Omni, Plymouth ...

  4. Alcohol fuel - Wikipedia

    In other words, for the same energy content as one liter or one gallon of gasoline, one needs 1.6 liters/gallons of ethanol and 2.1 liters/gallons of methanol. The raw energy-per-volume numbers produce misleading fuel consumption numbers, however, because alcohol-fueled engines can be made substantially more energy-efficient.

    A system called Split Port Induction (SPI) was used on the 2.0L CVH I4 of the 1997-2002 Escort and 2000-2004 Focus, and the 3.8L Essex V6 of the 1996-2003 Windstar and 2001-2004 Mustang. General Motors — 3.9-litre LZ8/LZ9 V6, 3.2-litre LA3 V6, LT5 5.7-litre

    p–V diagram for the ideal Diesel cycle.The cycle follows the numbers 1–4 in clockwise direction. The image shows a p–V diagram for the ideal Diesel cycle; where is pressure and V the volume or the specific volume if the process is placed on a unit mass basis.

  7. Stratified charge engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_charge_engine

    However, fueling a petrol engine directly allows more fuel to be directed towards the spark-plug than elsewhere in the combustion-chamber. [1] This results in a stratified charge: one in which the air/fuel ratio is not homogeneous throughout the combustion-chamber, but varies in a controlled (and potentially quite complex) way across the volume ...

  8. Naturally aspirated engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine

    Typical airflow in a four-stroke engine: In stroke #1, the pistons suck in (aspirate) air to the combustion chamber through the opened inlet valve.. A naturally aspirated engine, also known as a normally aspirated engine, and abbreviated to N/A or NA, is an internal combustion engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not have forced induction through a ...

  9. V6 PRV engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V6_PRV_engine

    The engines in that series required the use of bank separation angle and cylinder bore spacing from a production based engine, and as a 90° V6 has greater room between banks than a 60° V6 for a more optimal induction system, Alfa Romeo used the PRV as a basis as it had been used in the Lancia Thema, a car which shared its platform with the ...
