What is the purpose of an engine lubricant?
To keep the moving parts cool and lubricated so the metal does not expand (caused be friction and heat) and seize the engine.
How and why friction is cut down in a car engine?
How - with cooling oil Why - because friction causes heat, and overheating is bad for moving parts.
Why does your heat only work when your car is moving?
The heat will also work when the car is turned on, but not moving. It uses heat from the engine.
What system removes and reduces heat caused by friction between the moving engine parts and the explosion of fuel in the cylinders?
The lubrication system and the cooling system.
Can you just put gas in your 2 stroke engine and what would happen to your engine if you dont mix the oil with the gas?
Have you noticed there is no place to put oil in your 2 cycle engine? Inside your engine there are several moving parts used to convert gasoline to rotary motion. Without oil these parts will create a great deal of friction and heat causing permanent failure in minutes at best. Beating the engine with a sledge hammer will do not more damage than running an engine without oil. The oil for these moving parts in a 2 cycle engine is provided by the mist of gasoline and oil that is routed around the moving parts before it is burned in the engine.
What is it that makes a car engine work?
Combustion is the chemical reaction that causes a car engine to work. It is produced by fuel combining with oxygen which causes pressure and heat to turn the crankshaft of the engine. This essentially gets all of the parts of the engine moving.
Is it true that lubrication in vehicles moving parts prevents damage from heat and friction and keeps the moving parts operating efficiently?
yes
Why do Engine manufactures use oil?
When two metalic moving parts meet there is abrasion from friction causing wear and heat. Oil on the surface causes less friction between the parts and thus the reaction between the two parts is deadened.
Is it bad when da engine dont heat up?
I would venture to say that in this case your thermostat in the engine is shot. Otherwise (unless the engine is turned off) there is no real way for it NOT to heat up. The pure fact of the friction of moving parts, small explosions of gasoline inside. Even in sub zero temps the engine will get to hot to touch.
What is the function of the engines lubrication stystem?
The function of lubrication is to deliver clean oil at the correct temperature & pressure to every parts of the engine. To be effective, an engine lubrication System must successfully perform the function of minimizing friction between bearing surfaces of moving parts, dissipating heat & keeping the engine parts clean by removing carbon & other foreign material.
What are the negative effects of forces?
the negative effects of force are:- *force can stop a moving object. *force can produce heat. *force is not desirable
What effect does volcanic ash have on jet engine?
Volcanic ash effects jet engines by clogging-up the engine. The plane travels at such a speed even minute particles like volcanic ash can eventually fill-up the combustion chamber and since there is no moving parts in a jet engine it can't get out of the chamber. The massive heat in the chamber turns the volcanic ash to glass because its 80% silica which eventually stops everything in the engine (Basically).
