What is an engine map and can you speak of an 'engine map range'?
engine map is a graph of an engine each part and where they are located engine map range 91 Chevy s10 pickup truck

Indeed the do in fact they have it in both side. [Weird right]
Who invented the automatic gear shift and the supercharge system for internal combustion engines?
Ferdinand Porsche invented the first supercharged Mercedes-Benz SS & SSK sports cars in Stuttgart, Germany in 1923. In 1832, W. H. James invented a rudimentary three-speed transmission. Panhard and Levassor are credited with the invention of the modern transmission - installed in their 1895 Panhard. On April 28, 1908, Leonard Dyer obtained one of the earliest patents for an automobile transmission. The first Automatic transmission in an American car was Oldsmobile.
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
How do vtec engines compare to zetec engines?
by the torque power in them zetec is more powerful thats why is used on muscle cars and vtec is more fitted for light weight cars
Is the BMW E34 engine a non-interfering type engine?
The 525i is definitely a interference engine. It also has a timing belt that needs to be replaced every 60,000 miles to keep this from happening.
What is meant by hogging and sagging?
See this page which has a very good visual description : http://www.worldwideflood.com/ark/hull_calcs/wave_bm1.htm
When was the first combustion engine made?
"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.
Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.
James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.
Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.
The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
What does a graduated cylinder look like?
A graduated cylinder is just a tall cylinder with a little spout that tips out, and has markings in 1-10mL spans.
What are the differences between a car engine and a generator engine?
Technically nothing. They are both internal combustion engines. One is driving a transmission and a vehicle and the other is driving a generator.
A generator is used to to produce DC current, that is driven by an electrical AC motor, Hench the term Motor-Generator applies. An engine uses it's own source of fuel, Gasoline, for it's power source. Never call a ENGINE a MOTOR..........
What is an interference engine?
It refers to an engine where the area occupied by the valves when they are open is occupied by the piston when the valves are closed.
If the timing belt lets go while the engine is running the piston will smash the open valves doing loads of damage.
Can low compression on an engine damage a engine?
Low compression indicates that engine damage already exists. An engine's compression will be lost if: there is damage or wear to the pistons or rings there is damage or wear to the valve train there is damage or loss of seal on the cylinder head There are some other factors as well, but these three cover most. To get help in figuring out which is which, visit me at http://www.autoservicetech.com
One which generates its power using rotary (like the Wankel engine) rather than reciprocal motion.
Who invented the first internal combustion engine?
In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine. It was a single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a spark-ignition system. He patented it in 1860.
Nicolaus Otto invented a gas motor engine in 1876. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine, called the "Otto Cycle Engine", and built it into a motorcycle.
Otto's patent was later revoked when it was contested by Beau de Rochas.
Who invented the combustion engine and why?
Samuel Morey and it was made to improve how we live and to make scientific progress
How do hydraulic intensifier works?
How Hydraulically Driven Intensifiers Work
Process fluid flows through the inlet check valve and fills the process fluid cylinder.
Pressurized hydraulic fluid acting on the hydraulic piston strokes the piston assembly to the right. Process fluid in the right cylinder is forced through the discharge check valve. At the same time, fluid flows through the inlet check valve on the left cylinder filling this cylinder.
At the end of this stroke, the four-way valve changes position and directs pressurized hydraulic fluid to the right side of the hydraulic piston. The piston assembly moves to the left, discharging fluid from the left cylinder.
The piston assembly reverses direction automatically and the cycle repeats.
_______________________________________________________
Intensifiers operate on the ratio-of-areas principle in a linear actuator. A common rod connects the pistons of two cylinders of different bore, Figure 1. Lower-pressure fluid, acting on the larger piston, exerts a force that is transferred mechanically by the rod to the smaller piston. The smaller piston generates a higher pressure in the fluid in its bore: the pressure ratio is inversely proportioned to the areas ratio.
Theoretically, there is no limit to the outlet pressure that can be achieved. Practically, the increased viscosity of oil at higher pressures imposes an upper limit, as does heat of compression. Air containing oil may diesel at higher temperatures.
An intensifier operates at a constant power level; outlet flow decreases as outlet pressure increases. This is analogous to transformers, which very voltage and amperage at the same electrical power level, as well as gear trains, which vary torque and speed at the same mechanical power level.
When was the first automotive engine invented?
I believe that the first "engine" was a steam powered engine which was originally used in the coal mines to pump out water as well as to move out the coal... If you don't know. A steam powered engine uses a special process of heated water, hence the word steam, which is controlled by valves. the original steam powered engine, the pressure was to both sides of the piston as was used for trains... I guess I answered more the what than the when... so for the when, I believe that Ford used the first mass produced engine in 1907, but gasoline engines were invented in, I think, 1896.
Why are only two stroke and four stroke engines possible?
wankel made an engine which is now in the Mazda rx8 which is a rotary engine,in which the piston rotates,rather than go up and down
Also a rotary has not got a piston it has a ROTOR that ROTATES around a bore.(like a block in a 4 or 2 Stroke) a rotor has 3 sides that pass a intake port, a sparkplug chamber and an exhaust port.
What does the condenser on a car engine do?
"ITS PART OF THE COOLING SYSTEM?? " That is what the part is, not what it does. The Condenser, condenses the refrigerant while releasing heat that was in the car. Allowing the system to cool the inside of the car.
