Parent topics
- Combustion [r]: A sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat or both heat and light in the form of either a glow or flames. [e]
- Mechanical energy [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
Types
- Hybrid engine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Marine propulsion [r]: Power source and means of propelling ships in straight lines through water; some systems also may add directional control [e]
- CODOG [r]: Combined Diesel Or Gas marine propulsion system, in which either the diesel or the gas turbine connects to the propellers [e]
- CODAG [r]: Combined Diesel And Gas marine propulsion system, in which either a diesel, a gas turbine, or both connect to the propeller [e]
- CODLAG [r]: Combined Diesel-electric and gas marine propulsion system, in which the diesel drives a generator that powers an electric motor that turns the propeller at low speed, but a gas turbine can be added mechanically for bursts of power [e]
- CODAD [r]: Combined Diesel and Diesel marine propulsion system, a method that uses one diesel for low speed and two for high speed; characterized by high fuel efficiency and long endurance [e]
- COSAG [r]: Combined steam and gas marine propulsion system, while an obsolete method, uses a boiler-powered steam turbine for low speed [e]
- COGOG [r]: Combined gas or gas marine propulsion system, a system that uses two gas turbines, one optimized for low and one for high speed, but only one at a time [e]
- COGAG [r]: Add brief definition or description
- COGAS [r]: Combined gas and steam marine propulsion system, an experimental method primarily driven by gas turbines, but that scavenges the waste heat from the gas turbines to drive a steam turbine [e]
- CONAS [r]: Marine propulsion system, using a nuclear-heated steam turbine backed up with conventional steam turbines, all driving electric motors; unique to Kirov-class cruisers [e]
- COGES [r]: Marine propulsion system in which gas turbines drive the generators and electric motors turn the propellers, used on some cruise ships [e]
- CODAG-WARP [r]: Combined Diesel and Gas - Water Jet and Refined Propeller marine propulsion system [e]
- Marine propulsion [r]: Power source and means of propelling ships in straight lines through water; some systems also may add directional control [e]
Subsystems
- Catalytic converter [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Gas compressor [r]: A machine that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. [e]
- Flywheel [r]: A heavy axle-mounted wheel, driven to speed by a motor or other source of rotation, which acts as a temporary storage for mechanical energy [e]
Fuels
- Gasoline [r]: A fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines derived from petroleum crude oil. [e]
- Diesel oil [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Jet fuel [r]: Add brief definition or description
