1893 Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine at the museum of Lincolnshire life, Lincoln, England 14 hp Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine at the Great Dorset Steam Fair in 2008. The Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine, named after its inventor Herbert Akroyd Stuart and the manufacturer Richard Hornsby & Sons, was the first successful design of an internal combustion engine using heavy oil as a fuel.
Engine efficiency of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work. There are two classifications of thermal engines- Internal combustion (gasoline, diesel and gas turbine-Brayton cycle engines) and
The high inlet manifold temperatures resulted in increased engine efficiency. [4] The Peugeot 8Aa was a remarkably fuel-efficient engine for its time. [4] [9] At its most efficient point, the engine's specific fuel consumption was 0.252 kg/kWh (0.414 lb/(hp⋅h)) corresponding to a thermal efficiency of more than 30%. [4]
The company resumed production of V8 engines in 1992 with the BMW M60 aluminum double overhead camshaft engine, and V8 engines have remained in production until today. BMW's first turbocharged V8 engine was the 1998–2009 M67 twin-turbocharged diesel engine. The first turbocharged V8 petrol engine from BMW was the 2008–present BMW N63 engine.
Dodge wanted to keep up with General Motors, so it made a version of the already goliath Chrysler Newport with a standard 5.9-liter, 265-horsepower V8 engine and an optional 6.3-liter, 305 ...
Automotive superlatives include attributes such as the smallest, largest, fastest, lightest, best-selling, and so on.. This list (except for the firsts section) is limited to automobiles built after World War II, and lists superlatives for earlier vehicles separately.
Wards 10 Best Engines is an annual list of the ten "best" automobile engines available in the U.S. market, that are selected by Wards AutoWorld magazine. The list was started in 1994 for model year 1995, and has been drawn every year since then, published at the end of the preceding year.
The ideal solution was to install a new gas engine at each well, thus eliminating hours of preparatory work and large quantities of fuel required to steam a boiler for only a few hours of production. High initial cost prevented this in most cases, so it became much more feasible to convert an abundance of existing steam engines to gas engines.
