  2. Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_manifold

    In V6 and V8 engines where there is more than one exhaust bank, "Y-pipes" and "X-pipes" work on the same principle of using the low pressure component of an exhaust pulse to increase the velocity of the next exhaust pulse. Great care must be used when selecting the length and diameter of the primary tubes.

  3. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in drawing in the fresh charge. Engine designers ...

  4. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

    Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

  5. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Cylinder head of Honda K20Z3.This engine uses continuously variable timing for the inlet valves. Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.

  6. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    Calculating the effective exhaust velocity requires averaging the two mass flows as well as accounting for any atmospheric pressure. [12] For air-breathing jet engines, particularly turbofans, the actual exhaust velocity and the effective exhaust velocity are different by orders of magnitude. This happens for several reasons.

  7. Power band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band

    A) intake (4T); piston return to TDC (2T) B) compression (4T); piston descent at PMI (2T) C) expansion D) exhaust α) time average engine. The power band of an internal combustion engine or electric motor is the range of operating speeds under which the engine or motor is able to output the most power, that is, the maximum energy per unit of ...

  8. Multi-valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve

    The three-valve design was common in the late 1980s and early 1990s; and from 2004 the main valve arrangement used in Ford F-Series trucks, and Ford SUVs. The Ducati ST3 V-twin had 3-valve heads. Four-valve cylinder head; This is the most common type of multi-valve head, with two exhaust valves and two similar (or slightly larger) inlet valves.

  9. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

    For twin-cam or DOHC engines, VCT was used on either the intake or exhaust camshaft. (Engines that have VCT on both camshafts are now designated as Ti-VCT.↓) The use of variable camshaft timing on the exhaust camshaft is for improved emissions, and vehicles with VCT on the exhaust camshaft do not require exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) as retarding the exhaust cam timing achieves the same ...
