A mechanical cam in an engine converts rotational motion into linear motion to control the opening and closing of engine valves. As the cam rotates, its specially shaped profile pushes against a follower, which moves vertically to open the valve at precise timing during the engine's cycle. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves operate efficiently, allowing for optimal airflow and combustion. The design of the cam determines the timing, duration, and lift of the valve movement, critical for engine performance.
a machine that transforms heat into machanical energy, or work
No engine is 100% efficient: there is always some loss of energy between input and output.

cam in an ic engine is made up of HIESPEED STEEL OR THAT CONTAIN HIGH %OF CARBON THAT CONTAIN .2% CARBON
Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work by utilizing the principles of thermodynamics. They absorb heat from a high-temperature source, which causes a working fluid (like steam or gas) to expand and perform work, typically by moving a piston. As the fluid expands, it does work on the surroundings, and then it releases some heat to a lower-temperature sink before being compressed to repeat the cycle. This continuous process allows the engine to convert a portion of the absorbed heat energy into useful mechanical work.
12 without mechanical fuel pump lobe, 13 with it
typically no it should be hydraulic lifters unless someone has changed the cam and lifters in the engine.
A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption. A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption.
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
Yes it does. But you can not run a mechanical pump on a fuel injected engine. It will not pump enough fuel to run the engine.
Mechanical engineers can work in airlines. They work in the repair of the engine and the fuselage.
A cam is a mechanical component that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It typically has a non-circular shape to control the movement of other parts within a machine. Cam mechanisms are commonly used in engines, pumps, and other mechanical systems.
A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption. A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption.
a machine that transforms heat into machanical energy, or work
With the correct computer, wiring harness, mounts, attachments, etc.
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.
this one i know thru experience,and a long time to figure it out. but yes a 302 cam will work in a 351.but, u will need to time the engine to 302 timing specs, not to 351 timing specs the same applies if you put 351 cam in a 302
