How many cylinders does a bus have?

12 cylinder engine twin turbo stock intercooler

Could you make a two stroke engine go as fast as a four stroke?

Usually, it's the other way around. For the same fuel, engine size etc, 2-strokes will spin faster than 4-strokes.

if it's about the speed of the vehicle, the big thing isn't 2-stroke vs 4-stroke, but power, or power-to-weight ratio.

For the same amount of weight, a 2-stroke can make more power than a 4-stroke.

But in a vehicle where weight isn't that important, the vehicle that makes the most power is likely to be the faster.

How do you turn off the check engine light on a 2002 Honda CRV?

The check engine light is telling you that there is something wrong with the engine monitoring system and the only way to shut it off for good is to have the codes read at the dealer or a parts store and repair whatever is wrong. Simply resetting the computer by unhooking the battery for a minute will only make it stop for a while until the computer can analyze the system and will not help you pass a smog check.

Why is my engine engine knocking?

You need to be more specific in your question. What year/make/model and engine size/configuration do you have? If you dont know this then just take it in. Does it knock at idle? Hard acceloration? Decceloration? Only when cold? Only when hot? Info like this is very valuable when trying to diagnose a problem, but i would first look at your rotating assembly. (aka crankshaft, rods, and pistons) One or more bearing may have excessive clearance, the wrist pins may be scored, etc. The easiest way too look at it is to take off the oil pan and visually inspect everything.

What is the most importanat difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?

Electric cars are non gas and combustion are just normal cars. If u use this for your home work your guaranteed to get it right

What does engine code p0101 mean?

Trouble code P0101 means:Mass or volume circuit range performance problem

How many watts per hour does a 6.0 diesel 350 Ford block heater use?

Ford OEM block heaters are all 600watt (5.3 amp x 115 volt). aftermarket heaters are available up to 1000watt. (1 kilowatt).

What is the difference between pneumatic tools and electric tools?

It is how they are powered. Electric tools are powered by electricity and pneumatic tools are powered by forced air.

What are the role of combustion engine in nitrogen fixation and atmospheric pollution?

The combustion engine releases a lot of chemicals and smoke into the air. This raises nitrogen in the atmosphere and pollutes the air.

How much R134 goes into a 1989 Ford F150 with a 4.9 liter engine?

Unless it has been retrofitted the '89 I believe still took freon. If it has been completely empitied out it will take a couple of those cans from Walmart. If the system has been opened up to replace a component, you will have to use a vacuum pump to remove all air and moisture from the system. Oil will also have to be added, but you can get all that in one can.

What does it mean if you find excessive burned oil on top of your piston when you go to rebuild a single cylinder two-stroke motocycle engine?

Either over oiling or a 'cold' spark plug. It is difficult to know as two strokes tend toward oily piston tops anyway. Mix-in-tank bikes are susceptible to over oiling, evaporation of the fuel increases the oil/ fuel ratio. Plugs have different temperature ranges. Changing the plug for a hotter one can often reduce fouling and improve performance. As will a properly baffled and clean muffler. Plug and points gaps and timing are critical.

What is the difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine?

The main difference is the way the fuel gets ignited. In a gasoline engine, there is a spark plug connected to coils driven by the points and the distributor, that electrically generate a spark at the right time and ignite the fuel. In a diesel engine, there are no electric parts and no spark plug, and the fuel ignites simply because of heating up up by being compressed. That accounts for diesel engines being much more water-friendly, since getting the high voltage electrics of the gasoline engine wet disables it quite easily. It also accounts for diesel engines starting up harder in cold, since they need to be hot to ignite fuel, not having a spark to aid them do that.

Three Major Difference between Diesel and Gasoline Engine.

  1. Type of fuel it uses: Diesel fuel is a less volatile fuel than gasoline but possesses a greater number of BTU's per gallon. As a result, more total horsepower is obtained from a gallon of diesel than a gallon of gas.
  2. Type of Ignition: the fuel and air mixture in a gas cylinder is ignited by a spark. In a diesel engine, the mixture is ignited by the heat from compression.
  3. Fuel and air mixing: In a gas engine, the fuel and air mix takes place in the carburetor and the intake manifold and the fuel is ignited by a spark plug. In a diesel engine the diesel fuel is mixed with compressed air when the fuel is injected into the cylinder. Because air heats up when it's compressed, the fuel ignites.

What are pollutants emitted by an internal combustion engine?

carbon monoxide, due to improper combustion

Hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides

Also, if the fuel contains sulfur, oxides of sulfur

What is the average temperature inside the combustion chamber of an internal combustion diesel engine?

the air temp at the end of the compression stroke for the ignition of diesel fuel within the combustion chamber is approx between 450*c - 675*c Brent

What is 1600 cc engine?

cc, cubic centimeter is the unit of displacement. 1600 cc engine is usually used in a mid size cars such as Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Juke. Usually 1600cc is referred as 1.6L engine and 2400cc as 2.4L so on and so forth.

Can you change a 4 stroke to a 2 stroke dirt bike?

With enough effort, yes. But it'll probably be better to simply sell the 4-stroke and buy a 2-stroke instead.

2-strokes rev higher, but have less torque, so you'll probably want to use a gearbox intended for a 2-stroke as well.

And don't expect engine mounts and stuff simply to line up, you may well have to have new brackets made and added tot he frame.

What is the importance of maintaining the temperature of the scavenge air above the dew point for operation of marine diesel engines?

If the temperature drops below the dew point, the moisture in the air will condense into water. And water in combustion engines is rarely a good idea. It'll promote corrosion, rust, degrade lubricants etc.

Why diesel engine given name diesel?

  • This comes after the name of Rudolf Diesel who succeeded to build his well-known high-compression prototype engine in 1897. Rudolf Diesel was credited with this innovation.
  • The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.

What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?

An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)

The main difference between the internal combustion engine and the diesel engine is that the diesel engine?

The main difference between diesel motors and petrol motors is in how the fuel is ignited. Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite slightly compressed fuel molecules. Diesel motors use extreme heat and compression to cause the fuel to ignite. For example a petrol engine may have an 8-1 compression ratio and a temp. of 5,000 degrees in the combustion chamer a diesel engine will have a 15-1 ratio and around 15-20,000 degree combustion chamber give or take depending on the engine design. In the end there not that diffrent.
