Sentences with phrase «thermodynamic efficiency of the engine»

Engine builders can take advantage of the higher octane to raise the compression ratio, which improves the thermodynamic efficiency of an engine.

Not exact matches

As a result — regardless of load or engine speed — the valves always strike the perfect balance between minimal friction and high thermodynamic efficiency.

With an octane rating of up to 130, NG has the potential to optimize an engine's thermodynamic efficiency through a high compression ratio.

The range of measures here is quite great; for example, engine efficiency can be improved by three different kinds of measures, increasing thermodynamic efficiency, reducing frictional losses and reducing pumping losses (these losses are the energy needed to pump air and fuel into the cylinders and push out the exhaust) and each kind of measure can be addressed by a great number of design, material and technology changes.

The thermodynamic efficiency and power of the Hadley system, considered as a heat engine, is estimated at 200 terawatts.
