The compression ratio isn’t just a number: it’s one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant ...

Assuming a properly tuned engine, there are three factors that contribute to poor streetability: long cam duration, high compression ratios, and excessive cruise rpm. Since cam selection is largely ...

Every engine has a specific compression ratio. The air-fuel mixture is compressed in the cylinder to create an ignition, the force of which depends on the compression ratio: the volume of the cylinder ...

In Two Stroke Spark Ignition engines the thermal efficiency increases with increase in compression ratio. Also, with higher compression ratios the lean burning limit increases because of the reduction ...

The new Infiniti VC-Turbo engine (code-named KR20) is chock-full of interesting details that come with its variable-compression-ratio trick. Click on through to demystify the unique operating ...

Infiniti is putting the pressure on its competitors. The automaker has revealed plans to introduce the first production-ready engine with a variable compression ratio that promises to improve ...

Does “the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine” mean anything to you? For general automotive consumers, perhaps not a thing – at least, not yet. But that’s the big selling ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The potential of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine with variable compression ratio has been experimentally investigated.
