The automotive industry has long been defined by its powertrains—internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and more recently, electric drivetrains. Each technological leap has been a response to ...

Antony Ingram April 30, 2014 Comment Now! The concept of range-extended vehicles--electric cars with a gasoline generator to extend their range--is an intriguing way of combining the benefits of both ...

For economic and environmental reasons, it is important that gas turbines used in both industrial power generation and also oil & gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels, with minimum impact ...

In space, fuel burns in a sphere. The FLEX-2 experiment studies this type of combustion. In space, a drop of fuel burns in a sphere, symmetrically sucking in oxygen and producing heat and gas equally ...

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 ...

Gas power market drivers and a quest for relevance in future decarbonized systems are driving fundamental shifts in gas turbine combustion design approaches. Combustion lies at the heart of gas ...

Adequate combustion air supply is a critical aspect of safe operation for any fuel-fired equipment. To provide this essential component, openings constructed of metal ducts or fixed grilles are ...

America is slowly shifting away from gasoline-gulping vehicles toward electric vehicles (EVs), and the key transitional link between the eras is hybrid technology. Hybrids blend gas and electric power ...

Honda is still trying to create an exciting EV worthy of bearing the Type R badge. Its electric offerings so far haven't been the best to drive, but it's not giving up on making a driver's EV. A ...

Researchers have developed a hybrid CFD-neural network model for predicting TAIs in hydrogen-fueled turbines, improving ...
