If diesel engines need air for combustion, then how can submarines use them? Here's what you need to know about the clever engineering behind diesel subs.

Modern diesel engine development has increased engine efficiency and decreased NOx and particulate matter emissions. This ...

Air flowing into a four-stroke diesel engine gets cleaned as it passes through the air filter. It then flows through tubing until it is compressed in the spinning blades of the turbo. As a result, the ...

As we begin the last article in this series on the basics of the internal combustion engine, let's stop to review what we've covered during the last five articles. We began last May by detailIing the ...

With labels stating "diesel fuel only" and the existence of separate gasoline and diesel pumps, most people know there are distinct differences between gasoline and diesel vehicles that go beyond the ...

Diesel-powered submarines present a challenge that may seem paradoxical at first. Their engines require ...

Regardless of whether it burns gasoline or diesel, your internal combustion engine works by igniting a mixture of fuel and air to create power. To do so effectively, it must reduce the detrimental ...
