That decision was supported by solid data including a detailed analysis of Polk County’s diesel versus gasoline operating experience that clearly illustrated gas engines were a better investment (see “Why Polk County Switched From Diesel to Gasoline Power,” from the March 2000 issue ofAutomotiv...
" Jansen of Donlen advised. "The torque advantage of diesel engines is better suited for pulling heavy loads up steep grades. The relatively high-compression ratio necessary to ignite the diesel fuel (17:1 diesel versus 9:1 gasoline), allows the diesel engine to generate all its torque...
The article provides information on the distinct advantages of using gasoline and diesel engines in the U.S. The author stated that gasoline is a better choice for those who are looking for quick acceleration, since acceleration is a function of engine horsepower. Meanwhile, Dennis O'Connor of ...
Cerma engine treatment restores lost power to your gas and diesel engines motor while giving you protection unmatched by any other oil lubrication
Internal Combustion Engines VI Gas Turbine Engine The gas turbine engine is recognized for its relative mechanical simplicity and its capacity to use a broad spectrum of fuels. In practice, the efficiency of gas turbine engines is lower than both SI and diesel engines; however, the excellent powe...
The other low-carbon fuel solutions on the horizon paint an equally dubious picture. Some of them, such as biodiesel, are considered a mere stop-gap until engines move away from petroleum-based diesel trucks. Diesel hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) haven’t lived up to their promises of large...
This paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) approach for monitoring the health of diesel engines. The aim is to evaluate the engine dynamics, identify unknown parameters in a “mean value” model, and anticipate maintenance requirements. The PINN model is applied to diesel engines...
The highest discrepancy between ammonia and JP-4 tests was the lower turbine inlet temperature at rated loads, thus confirming that the use of ammonia at 2.35 times the rate of diesel would result in cooler turbine temperatures for a given power output. Therefore the gain in power output using...
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system's purpose is to reduce NOx emissions that contribute to air pollution. The first EGR systems were added to engines in 1973, and today most engines have an EGR system.As long as the EGR system is functioning properly, it should have no noticeable ...
The actuation module 224 may be engine type specific, with different control schemes for gas engines versus diesel engines. In various implementations, the actuation module 224 may define the boundary between modules prior to the actuation module 224, which are engine independent, and modules that ...
