(STE 213):  Nacelle: "In starship design, a large outboard structure that houses a warp drive engine. Nacelles generally incorporate powerful subspace field generation coils and sometimes have Bussard collectors to gather interstellar hydrogen. Most Federation starship designs feature two warp engine nacelles mounted parallel to the axis of flight." 

Klingons may call their nacelles {pIvchem lIngwI' DaHmey} "warp field generation arrays" or {pIvghor lIngwI'} "warp generator":

  pIvchem lIngwI' DaHmey: cha' 
  Warp Field Generation Arrays - 2 (KPoB) 

  pIvchem SeHwI': cha' 
  Warp Field Controller - 2 (KPoB)

(STE [page?]):  Deuterium was also used as one of the reactants in the matter/antimatter reaction system in those ships' warp drive. The deuterium was the matter, and anti-hydrogen served as the antimatter. (TNG 'Relics')
 
(TKW 190):  The prisoners on Rura Penthe ... mine dilithium, required for warp propulsion systems.

(KGT 204):  either {cha'pujqutmey} or dilithium crystals will work in a warp drive system
