The main difference between pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders is that hydraulic cylinders?

Hydraulic cylinder use a liquid medium, often some type of viscous oil, in the cylinders and can be subject to higher pressures then pneumatic cylinders which use air or some other gas and work under a lower pressure.


What is the difference between the Carnot cycle and the Rankine Cycle?

carnot cycle is a very ideal cycle that isn't practical at all , 'cause we add and reject heat isothermally , a wet mixture enters the turbine so it'll cause pitting and erosion and a wet mixture enters the pump , and the pump can't deal with a 2 phases fluid rankine cycle is a practical cycle but with a very low efficiency so the main difference lies in the adding and rejecting of heat

What is the difference between premixed and diffusion flame?

Two main different combustion regime: diffusion flame is generated when fuel and oxidizer are provided separately and then mixes with each other and reacts in the mixing zone; while premixed flame is generated when fuel and oxidizer are totally mixed and goes to burning after ignition. The main difference is that premixed flame forms a propagating wave front and diffusion flame tends to be stable. Due to that, premixed flame is more sensitive to acoustics, i.e. flashback and blow-off. On the other hand, the mixing is a key factor for diffusion flame. If mixing is not enough, we suffers with high soot and unburnt hydrocarbon emissions. The flame thickness is different a lot, and premixed flame is much thinner. In terms of environment issue, NOx emission is relatively higher in premixed flame than in diffusion flame due to higher flame temperature. In application, safety is a main concern for premixed flame, so that stabilization is always applied in practice. Diffusion flame is more widely applied, especially on aircraft and power station.

Which is better for a 4.8L 2007 silverado a turbocharger or a supercharger?

I personally think a Roots type supercharger will be the best choice. The main reason I say a Roots type is because it is going to offer way more boost levels in the lower RPM range, which will be great for off the line HP and torque, and also great for towing. No turbo or centrifgal supercharger cannot offer this HP or toque in this low of an RPM range, which is idea for trucks.

1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?

It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger. Thank you, From www.SuperchargersOnline.com
