  2. Stratified charge engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_charge_engine

    A higher mechanical compression ratio, or dynamic compression ratio with forced induction, can be used to improve thermodynamic efficiency. Because fuel is not injected into the combustion chamber until just before the combustion is required to begin, there is little risk of pre-ignition or engine knock.

  3. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    For example, if the static compression ratio is 10:1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7.5:1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be 7.5 1.3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13.7 bar (relative to atmospheric pressure). The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.

  4. Homogeneous charge compression ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_charge...

    THE COMPRESSION RATIO IS WRONG. IN WIKIPEDIA IT LISTS THE 4 RATIOS. THE MAXIMUM IS 14.5 TO 1. Mazda's Skyactiv-G Generation 2 has a compression ratio of 18:1 to allow the use of HCCI combustion. [39] An engine model called Skyactiv#Skyactiv-X has been announced by Mazda in August 2017 as a major breakthrough in engine technology. [40]

  5. Air–fuel ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air–fuel_ratio

    For pure octane fuel, the oxidation reaction is: 25 O 2 + 2 C 8 H 18 → 16 CO 2 + 18 H 2 O + energy. Any mixture greater than 14.7:1 is considered a lean mixture; any less than 14.7:1 is a rich mixture – given perfect (ideal) "test" fuel (gasoline consisting of solely n-heptane and iso-octane).

  6. Methanol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_fuel

    In 2007 ethanol was priced at 3 to 4 dollars per gallon (0.8 to 1.05 dollars per liter) at the pump, while methanol made from natural gas remains at 47 cents per gallon (12.5 cents per liter) in bulk, not at the pump. Presently there are no operating gas stations in California supplying methanol in their pumps. Rep.

  7. List of Volkswagen Group petrol engines - Wikipedia

    The EA211 engines are a completely new four-cylinder turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engines. Compared to its predecessor, the EA211 series is significantly more compact, with installation length 50 mm (2.0 in) shorter, thus offering more interior space.

  8. Toyota GR engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_GR_engine

    The Toyota GR engine family is a gasoline, open-deck, piston V6 engine series. The GR series has a 60° die-cast aluminium block and aluminium DOHC cylinder heads.This engine series also features 4 valves per cylinder, forged steel connecting rods and crankshaft, one-piece cast camshafts, a timing chain, [1] and a cast aluminium lower intake manifold.

  9. Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump_selection...

    The basic function of a pump is to do work on a liquid. It can be used to transport and compress a liquid. In industries heavy-duty pumps are used to move water, chemicals, slurry, food, oil and so on. Depending on their action, pumps are classified into two types — Centrifugal Pumps and Positive Displacement Pumps. While centrifugal pumps ...
