Engines in a sentence

Diesel engines produce lower hydrocarbon and CO 2 emissions, but greater particulate and NO x pollution, than gasoline engines. citation Diesel engines are also 40% more fuel efficient than comparable gasoline engines.

Steam engines were the first mechanical engines used in marine propulsion, but have mostly been replaced by two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, outboard motors, and gas turbine engines on faster ships.

Automakers expected to make the 2021 goal with a combination of diesel engines—which are 15-20 percent more efficient than gasoline engines—more efficient gasoline engines, and plug-in hybrids.

As can be seen in the following table, rocket engines generally achieve much higher thrust-to-weight ratios than duct engines such as turbojet and turbofan engines.

Consequently, the railroad refused to buy engines from Baldwin, and three former Western Pacific Railroad (which the CP had absorbed in 1870) engines were the only Baldwin engines owned by the Central Pacific.

Diesel engines Most diesel engines (with the exception of some tractors and scale model engines ) have fuel injected into the combustion chamber.

Flat engines with four or fewer cylinders are most commonly called boxer engines, boxermotor in German, and also are known as horizontally opposed engines.

Medium-speed engines are physically larger than high-speed engines and can burn lower-grade (slower-burning) fuel than high-speed engines.

Rocket engines main SpaceX 's Kestrel engine is tested Most rocket engines are internal combustion heat engines (although non combusting forms exist).

Slow-speed engines are predominantly large two-stroke crosshead engines, hence very different from high- and medium-speed engines.

Smaller engines would be built with vertical cylinders, while most medium- and large-sized industrial engines were built with horizontal cylinders, just as steam engines had been.

Steam engines were first used for this purpose, but have mostly been replaced by two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, outboard motors, and gas turbine engines on faster ships.

These are issues with newer, lighter, high-performance diesel engines which are not "overbuilt" to the degree of older engines and they are being pushed to provide greater power in smaller engines.

This is a very cost-effective alternative to certified aircraft engines, providing engines ranging from 100 to convert at a fraction of the cost of traditional engines.

Typically, among engines driving a rotating shaft, combustion engines have their power rated in horsepower (hp), while electric engines have their power rated in watts (W, not to be confused with the mathematical symbol for work) or multiples thereof.

Unlike the US Shuttle, Buran had no main rocket engines, but used its orbital maneuvering engines to insert itself into orbit; but it had airbreathing jet engines for powered landings.

While 60° V6 engines are not as well balanced as inline-6 and flat-6 engines, modern techniques for designing and mounting engines have largely eliminated their vibrations.

While most production V8 engines use four crank throws spaced 90° apart, high-performance V8 engines often use a "flat" crankshaft with throws spaced 180° apart, essentially resulting in two straight four engines running on a common crankcase.

Another example is changing from diesel-run engines to electric engines for our operations.

For those that aren’t aware, dual-fuel engines produce the same amount of power as conventional diesel engines, but they release significantly less emissions while also reducing costs through diesel displacement.
