Because diesel vehicles do not use spark plugs, they must rely on higher compression ratios to ignite the diesel fuel without ...
SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...
We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...
A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...
