Dr. Vickey Kalaskar and the SwRI team have pioneered a groundbreaking testing methodology to tackle stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in heavy-duty hydrogen-fueled engines (H2-ICEs). SAN ANTONIO — ...

Detonation: A violent explosion; also called combustion knock. This usually occurs near the end of the combustion process when highly compressed, high-temperature end gases spontaneously ignite, ...

For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

When your car starts making a metallic knocking sound under the hood, you'd assume it could only be one thing: the engine. However, there are two common culprits, and they're definitely not the same.

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

THE experiments on the frictional electrification of sand described by E. W. B. Gill 1 are of interest in respect of the pre-ignition and combustion knock generally observed when hydrogen is used as ...

ISRO said the successful ignition of the pre-burner was a “major milestone” in the development of the engine. “This will be followed by development tests on the engine power head test article and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A pre-chamber ignition system has the potential to reduce the burn duration of lean-burn gasoline engine combustion and can achieve a reduced ...

Back in 2012, Gizmag looked at LiquidPiston’s X2 rotary engine. The compact, low-vibration, high-efficiency 70 bhp and 40 bhp compression ignition engine was something of a sensation. Now the company ...

I recently got asked about what "pinging" is, and what the difference is between pre-ignition and detonation, what causes it, and why it is bad for an engine. Basically, both pre-ignition and ...
