But it also means that mixing the fuel and air can be tricky, which is why diesel engines have specially-shaped pistons. A ...

The combustion chamber inside each cylinder in a diesel engine facilitates combustion by housing air at extremely high pressures, which when compressed by the piston and combined with diesel fuel ...

We’re introduced to the traditional two-stroke diesel engine as thermally efficient but not smooth-running, and then the gas turbine as smooth but much more inefficient. The free piston engine ...

You won't believe how big the world's largest piston engine is and how much power it can deliver (hint: it's found in a massive cargo ship). These behemoths primarily use diesel engines due to ...
