Captain Kirk beseeching his chief engineer to once again pull his buns out of an intergalactic tight spot has become nearly clich. That line has also been the battle cry of hot rodders when the first ...

During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

As power grids worldwide contend with surging demand, driven by data center and manufacturing growth as well as electrification, operators face growing pressure to deliver fast, flexible and efficient ...

Intake, compression, power, then exhaust. Every 4-stroke engine ever made – about 80% of all engines currently in existence – function on this principle – even rotary engines. But now, Porsche has ...

Back in the early 2000s, some controversy emerged about the practice of spraying large amounts of fog directly into the compressor. Some claimed that this led to blade erosion, pitting, and scaling.

NYK will install a variable compression ratio system (VCR system) on two large LNG-fueled coal carriers to be built at Oshima Shipbuilding. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2025 ...
