Knocking combustion research is crucially important because it determines engine
durability, fuel consumption, and power density, as well as noise and emission performance …

This is part II of a two-part paper involving the development of an asymmetrical flow control
method to widen the operating range of a turbocharger centrifugal compressor with high …

It has been well known that the engine downsizing combined with intake boosting is an
effective way to improve the fuel conversion efficiency without penalizing the engine torque …

This entry focuses on the chemical nature of oil shale, and some key aspects of its
conversion to oil. One of the first difficulties encountered in this field is deciding what starting …

This is Part I of a two-part paper documenting the development of a novel asymmetric flow
control method to improve the stability of a high-pressure-ratio turbocharger centrifugal …

In experimental calibration of mass production spark-ignition (SI) engines, knocking cycles
are usually determined by a specified threshold of knock intensity (KI). In engine cycle …

A 5-stroke turbo-charged port-injection spark-ignition engine has been developed in the
present study for use as a range extender or series-hybrid main power source. The …

The nonuniformity of the flow field induced by a nonaxisymmetric volute significantly
degrades the stability of a turbocharger centrifugal compressor. In this paper, a …

Volute-induced distortion of the flow field remarkably exacerbates the flow stability of
turbocharger centrifugal compressors; hence, reducing the flow field distortion by modifying …

A four-cylinder, intake boosted, port fuel injection (PFI), spark-ignition (SI) engine is modified
to a three-cylinder engine with the outer two cylinders working in the conventional four …
