Design And Performance Analysis Of A Small Two-Stroke Direct Injection Diesel Engine.

As oil resources are rapidly being depleted, vehicle fuel efficiency is becoming more important for consumers. Due to the large number of motorcycles, improving fuel consumption of motorcycles would greatly reduce fuel demand in many developing countries. Diesel engines offer the advantages of im...
