This is a promising combination of engine and sports coupé, but something is missing.
Its ubiquity may define it as ordinary, but this combination of engine and transmission is so buttery smooth that its gears could well be lubricated by cholesterol.
According to figures from the Connecticut Fund for the Environment, "nonpoint source pollution" from a combination of engine combustion, septic systems and overfertilization of lawns and crops contributes an estimated 8,500 tons of excess nitrogen yearly to the Sound.
A different combination of engine speed, MAP, and horsepower output is associated with each notch position.
The idea is to develop a concept over five years that would improve truck fuel economy 50% through a combination of engine technologies and improved aerodynamics.
The problem to solve is a combination of engine-, driveline- and vehicle-control while fulfilling demands on emissions, driving time, legislative speed, and engine protections.
Separate buttons engage the low range, the locking rear differential and the hill descent control system, the latter feature automatically controlling vehicle speed when descending steep hills with a combination of engine braking and selective application of the hydraulic brakes.
The use of the developed evolutionary optimization algorithm allows the calculation of the Pareto-optimal set of designs under any combination of engine speed and output power, defined in the range of the experiments.
The developed tools are intended to help to select the proper combination of engine thrust, wing area and the aircraft weight without going through elaborate details of other direct approaches.
A measuring set-up consisting of a piezo-electric pressure transducer with charge amplifier and fast data acquisition card installed on an IBM microcomputer was used to gather the data of up to 1200 consecutive combustion cycles of the cylinder under various combination of engine operating and design parameters.
