An outside flame ignitor was an early ignition device used in internal-combustion engines that used a flame outside the engine and a sliding port on the cylinder head.At the appropriate time in the compression cycle of the engine, the port would briefly be opened and closed allowing the fuel/air mixture in the cylinder to be ignited by the flame.
During the 1970s, Thermador continued to innovate. [3] In 1970, the company released the first "smooth top" cooktop using material developed by Corning Incorporated. Julia Child used a Thermador oven in her critically acclaimed PBS TV series. Thermador appliances were also featured in the American television show The Brady Bunch. In 1976 ...
In spark-ignition internal combustion engines, knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but when one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front.
Low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), also known as stochastic pre-ignition (SPI), [1] is a pre-ignition event that occurs in gasoline vehicle engines when there is a premature ignition of the main fuel charge. [2] LSPI is most common in certain turbocharged direct-injection vehicles operating in low-speed and high-load driving conditions. [3]
Three years after the original suspect in a nearly 40-year-old double murder was exonerated based on DNA evidence and freed from prison after 20 years, a Georgia man has been arrested and charged ...
Apple stock received a rare downgrade to "sell" from an analyst on Tuesday. The downgrade highlights premium-valuation concerns and some negative headlines in recent months.
The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which fuel is injected into each cylinder.
