Diesel engines are different from gas engines in numerous ways, including their use of high compression ratios. Here's why that is and what it means.

Ross Brawn has weighed in on the much-debated engine compression-ratio 'trick' that has been at the centre of discussion ...

Gas turbine engine components are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue (HCF and LCF), cracking in critical areas of high stress. Cracks often initiate from local stress concentrations created by ...

NYK will install a variable compression ratio system (VCR system) on two large LNG-fueled coal carriers to be built at Oshima Shipbuilding. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2025 ...

Technical analyst Paolo Filisetti explains just how compression ratio works, but the hidden danger which lurks.
