Every fleet strives to achieve two things when it comes to engines. The first is to maintain efficiency in order to reduce operating and service costs. The other is to ensure the longest possible ...

The Department of Energy recognized the Cummins SuperTruck II team for pioneering research and development in heavy-duty diesel engine technology, and achieving 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) from ...

The engine in your car right now is terrible at its job. The concept of adiabatic is as old as automotive engineering (BTW it’s pronounced “aid-ee-a-bad-ik”), and simply means a system where heat ...

The quantum advantage: Coherent superposition in quantum heat engines can enhance power output over classical machines. Credit: iStock Traffic-Analyzer Heat engines have had a huge impact on everyday ...

Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT ...

Diesel engines have been around since the late 19th century, which was around the time Karl Benz built the world's first automobile. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than gas engines and ...

The engine works by taking heat from the hot reservoir, converting some of it into useful work, and rejecting the remaining heat to the cold reservoir. The thermodynamic cycle followed by the engine ...

The smaller the better, and in a world of fast-developing technology, that’s called innovation. Just this month, a desk-sized turbine capable of powering a small town was announced to be under ...
