Flow velocity in the fuel/oxidizer injectors and combustion chamber during combustion oscillations in a model of a rocket engine. (Courtesy: Hiroshi Gotoda) Researchers in Japan have identified a ...

In the diagram above, we see what, for the most part, looks to be a standard combustion engine, with a piston, crankcase, and ...

Two-dimensional computations of premixedcharge engine combustion were made using the KIVA-II code. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of heat transfer and turbulence model boundary ...

The biggest problem with the internal combustion engine is that most of the energy generated by combustion is wasted as heat rather than converted propulsion for the vehicle. Toyota’s new Dynamic ...

A new model for convective in-cylinder heat transfer has been developed which calculates heat transfer coefficients based on a description of the in-cylinder flow field. The combustion chamber volume ...
