Internal combustion (IC) engines serve as power devices that are widely applied in the fields of transport, engineering machinery, stationary generation, etc., and evolving towards goal higher efficiency lower environmental impacts. In this Editorial, role IC for future transport energy systems is discussed, research directions advancing engine fuel technologies recommended. Finally, we introdu...

This paper investigates the effect of replacing crankshaft with cam on the indicated torque during compression and power strokes in internal combustion engines. A Cycloidal cam profile was used in Revetec engine to calculate and compare the torque to a conventional engine, using a computational method. Firstly, the cylinder pressure was calculated using Ferguson equation, and then the torque ca...

SYNOPSIS Internal combustion engines are being required to comply with increasingly stringent government exhaust emissions regulations. Compression ignition piston engines will continue to be used in cost-sensitive fuel applications such as in heavy-duty buses and trucks, power generation, locomotives, and off-highway applications, and will find application in hybrid electric vehicles. Close co...
