ABSTRACT
The IC engine has seen numerous revolutionary and evolutionary modifications in technology and design over the past few decades. The sole motto behind the modifications was to increase the overall efficiency of the IC Engine including volumetric and thermal efficiency. Recently few benchmarking technologies like the CRDI, MPFI, HCCI, etc. in the Otto cycle and Diesel cycle engines have created an enormous revolution in the automobile industry. In spite of these technological and design advances, the efficiencies are not being more than a particular limit. However, the concept of split cycle engines has drastically increased the overall performance in all respect. The split cycle concept basically separates the four strokes of the conventional

A split cycle engine is an IC engine that separates the four strokes of Intake, Compression, Power and Exhaust. These strokes separation is achieved by using two separate but paired cylinders of the Scuderi engine are named as the Compression Cylinder (i.e. First Cylinder) and the Power Cylinder (i.e. Second Cylinder). The sucked atmospheric air is compressed into the Compression Cylinder and then it is sent to the Power Cylinder. The system through which the compressed air is transferred to the Power Cylinder is known as Crossover Passage. The compressed air is then mixed with injected fuel and the combustion takes places in the Power …show more content…
HISTORY
The split cycle engines appeared as early as 1914. Various split cycle configurations with different specifications were designed but they failed to match the efficiency of the conventional IC Engines. This was because of the two predominant causes i.e. Breathing (Volumetric Efficiency) and Low Thermal Efficiency.
The Scuderi engine was invented by Carmelo J. Scuderi. The Scuderi engine was formally known as Scuderi Split Cycle Internal Combustion Engine. Scuderi Group is an engineering and licensing company situated in West Springfield, Massachusetts and founded by Carmelo Scuderi following own generations. The first working prototype engine after testing was officially revealed by the Scuderi Group to the public in the year 2009. The Scuderi Group had around more than 476 patent applications worldwide as of August 2011 and more than 154 applications as patens have issued in more than 50
One of the major inventions of this time was the Model B, produced by Ford in 1932. This was the first low-priced, V-8 engine car, which was 20yrs ahead of its time (“The Show Room”). The electric razor was also invented in the 1930s by a man named Jacob Schick. Schick came up with the idea while recuperating from a work injury and finding it hard to shave; he was inspired by the weaponry he saw while serving in World War I (“Jacob Schick Invents”).
Diesel mechanics The job I would want when I get older is to be a Diesel mechanic, I would want this job because I find the way engines and other machines work interesting. To become a Diesel mechanic you will need 3-5 years of experience and a high school diploma. The average yearly salary for a Diesel mechanic is about 42,000-54,400 these results will vary depending on work hours, business size, and location. The duties Diesel mechanics regularly perform on a daily basis are repairs on things like valve tuning so the engine runs smoothly and efficiently
Ford has also made hybrid models of several of their vehicles, like the Escape and Focus. Both Ford and GM have found in their gas-powered cars that through the use of better engine technologies, light materials and reduced overall sizes of their products produce better fuel efficiency. Price, speed, and safety wise, Chevy has some catching up to do. One problem Chevy has is they always follow in Ford’s footsteps, if Chevy was smart they would introduce something new to attract new customers.
The Change of Two Brother’s Relationship Certain circumstances can change a person for the better or for the worse. In “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich, she demonstrates how the Vietnam War completely altered a young man’s personality. Two brothers, Henry and Lyman, who has an inseparable bond in the beginning of the story were portrayed also as best friends.
Early engines had three main parts the boiler, cylinder, and condenser. The boiler would heat up fuel to produce steam. When steam entered and built up pressure to move the piston that’s when the cylinder would come in. The condenser increased speed by pulling out the steam of the cylinder to speed up the piston.
That may sound pretty far out there but it is true. With simple things like chips or programmers you can easily increase fuel economy and performance at the same time. Although diesel gas is a little more expensive, it last a lot longer due to it burning
He was later made Chief Engineer of the Detroit Edison Company Plant. He spent most of his time experimenting with gasoline powered vehicles. He completed his first vehicle in 1896, which was the Quadricycle and that set him apart from other automotive inventors. He continued over the next several years experimenting to improve vehicles. Henry Ford incorporated his Motor Company in 1903.

COMPANY OVERVIEW Porsche car company was founded in 1931 by a German automotive engineer Professor Ferdinand Porsche. The main offices are in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1934 under Adolf Hitler’s command, Ferdinand Porsche collaborated with his son Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche in developing the first designs for the Volkswagen car.
In year 1904, Royce had successfully built his first motor car and was introduced to Charles Rolls. The good impression of Charles Rolls on Royce’s two-cylinder car had brought the co-founder of Rolls-Royce together (Rolls Royce and Bentley, 2012). Rolls-Royce was then founded in March,
Volkswagen has always had a close relationship with Porsche, the Zuffenhausen-based sports car manufacturer founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, the original Volkswagen designer and Volkswagen company co-founder, hired by Adolf Hitler for the project. The first Porsche car, the Porsche 64 of 1938, used many components from the Volkswagen Beetle. The 1948 Porsche 356 continued using many Volkswagen components, including a tuned engine, gearbox and suspension. The two companies continued their collaboration in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and Porsche 914-6.
The regenerative braking system on the model offers an even greater thrust of electrical power derived from braking and coasting. Hybrid cars can rightly be termed the transportation machines of the future. Thinking of
The reduction of carbon emissions to the atmosphere, the cost of maintenance and refuelling and the safety of electric vehicles are surely convincing rationale for us to make changes. So, we all know that majority of people commonly utilise fuel, oil or LPG as a
