A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...
Skyactiv-X, Mazda’s newest engine, will use a compression ignition system to make its gasoline-powered vehicles more powerful and more fuel efficient than ever before. This innovative engine is at the ...
It may not look like much, but there’s some serious technology under the skin. 01-mazda-skyactiv-x-fd-1-jpg Drew Phillips 02-mazda-skyactiv-x-fd-1-jpg Drew Phillips 03-mazda-skyactiv-x-fd-1-jpg Drew ...
A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...
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 ...
What many consider the Holy Grail of combustion technology is one step closer to prime time. In the race to field energy-efficient vehicles, don’t count out internal combustion technology just yet. GM ...
IRVINE, Calif.—Despite rumors to the contrary, the internal combustion engine is far from dead. Recently we’ve seen several technological advances that will significantly boost the efficiency of ...
Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines combine a diesel's torque and fuel efficiency with a gas engine's cleaner emissions. The HCCI technique has been a goal of automakers since the ...
