Almost all of the diesel engines now being manufactured are equipped with exhaust gas recirculation to lower nitrous oxide(s) production. The system works by effectively lowering the charge air oxygen concentration, therefore lowering peak combustion temperature and nitrous oxide(s) production...

I'm not employed in the automotive or engine industry. But I am an engineer, and I've developed a certain engine modification that has the potential to significantly enhance engine operation.
Having reviewed the field in some depth, I am well aware...
Nearly everybody knows that both gas and diesel engines waste lots of heat from the coolant system and exhaust system.
I'm interested in the forums opinions on why there do not appear to be any viable systems that recover this waste energy and use it to improve engine efficiency. What comes to...
