Fuel and Engines

We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

What is a clean-sheet design engine?

I was looking for the same definition. Here is what I found:

"Clean-sheet design is the process of developing a system from only a set of requirements and a 'clean sheet of paper'"

here is the entire paragraph:

"System development is facilitated by clean-sheet design. Clean-sheet design is the process of developing a system from only a set of requirements and a 'clean sheet of paper'. Clean-sheet design creates a design environment that offers the flexibility and creative space to innovate by investigating options that lie outside the bounds of the typical systems. In this environment, the system can be designed and optimized as a whole, and consequently compromise can be minimized. Clean-sheet design discourages defining arbitrary constraints, which can promote compromise and premature commitment to a particular solution, and hence lead to an inherently non-optimisable system. A special case of setting arbitrary constraints is developing a system based on a previous version."

What is a fire wall on a car?

it separates the engine-compartment from the passenger section of the car and slows a accidental engine fire from spreading in to the passenger compartment.

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9800 n up to 145 m how much work must the engine do to lift this beam?

WORK

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9800 n up to 145 m how much work must the engine do to lift this beam?

Solution1.This is what you know:

force: F =9800 n distance: d =145 m2.This is what you need to find out:

work: W = ? J3.This is the procedure you need to use:

Substitute the known values f= 9800 n and d = 145 m into the work equation:

W = Fd = (9800 N)(145 m) = N·m = 1421000 J4.Check your answer:

Check your answer by dividing the work you calculated by the distance given in the problem. The result should be the force given in the problem.

How can you get more horsepower?

cheapest way is cold air intake, after market performance exhaust with xpipe, headers and catback mufflers, new plenum, throttle body, performance chip, performance pulleys, and many more. What kind of car?

fuel is energy because i said so no thts wroung n i needed this for scicne class

What could be a whirring screeching noise be in my fiat punto w reg it only comes on whilst driving over 35-40 mph?

There are a number of reasons why your Fiat might be whirring or screeching when driving up to 35 miles per hour. You might have a bad belt or a leak in one of your lines.

Is it legal to swap from gas to diesel?

You cannot burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine period. A gasoline engine will not run on diesel. So legality is a mute point. A gasoline engine and diesel engine are totally different in design and the way fuel is burned. The fuels are not interchangeable.

What is the right oil pressure for a L98 engine 1987?

At idle, more than 25 is acceptable. Full throttle, over 75.

Where is the pcv valve on a 1992 Chevy 1500 350?

The PCV valve on a 1992 Chevy 1500 350 is located on the intake manifold which is on the passenger side of the vehicle and to the right of the throttle. It has two bolts that hold it in place.

What is the cut off ratio of a diesel engine?

The thermodynamic cycle which powers a diesel engine has four steps: 1. Adiabatic compression (compression with no heat transfer into or out of the reaction cylinder). 2. Heating at constant pressure. In a diesel engine, the heat generated by the compression step is so great that fuel spontaneously combusts as it's injected into the cylinder; however, this combustion is not instantaneous, so the gases inside the cylinder heat up and expand at constant pressure as the fuel burns. 3. Adiabatic expansion (this is the part where the cylinder is doing work on whatever the engine is hooked up to). 4. Cooling at constant pressure (the exhaust is expelled from the cylinder). The compression ratio is the ratio between the initial volume and the volume at the end of Step 1. The cutoff ratio is the ratio of the volume at the end of Step 1 (BEFORE the fuel is injected and burned) to the volume at the end of Step 2 (AFTER the fuel is injected and burned). The expansion ratio is the ratio of the volume at the end of Step 2 to to volume at the end of Step 3. In case this clarifies, (compression ratio) = (cutoff ratio) * (expansion ratio).

When was the first steam engine made and working?

The first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery.

How much oil is needed for a 2.6 Astron engine?

An Astron 2.6L motor (in my 10 years experience changing the oil on one) seems to like to run with a around 4 and 1/2 litres, 5 litres is a little too much. If your dipstick shows a bit over the full line don't worry about it, they prefer to run a bit overfull anyway and it leaves a bit of room if you've got an unknown oil leak. Any less than 4 and your engine won't like it. Try to use an oil that's not too thick and not too thin, thicker oils just clog them up, thin oils won't do the job and the more expensive type oils just aren't necessary for this engine. Don't use anything too cheap either like freeway oil, it'll just wreck your motor. For the purposes of this post i recommend Valvoline Premium as I've used it for years on my astron and it just seems to like it. i have the astron 2.6 (86) servicing book it is 3.3L when u change the oil and leave the filter or 3.6 if u change the filter i did a change on my motor and it was perfect and that stuff about thick and oil all depends on what climate your in (and it also depends on what astron you have)

Who developed the practical steam engine in 1705?

Thomas Newcomen, an English inventor, developed the first practical steam engine for pumping water. Newcomen was concerned about the flooding that was common in tin and coal mines and wanted to develop a better system in which he could remove the water. Around 1705 - 1710 CE Newcomen created his steam engine that could be used as a pump.

What is the engine oil capacity of a 1964 pontic gto?

A Pontiac engine will usually take close to 6 quarts of oil with a filter change.

How do you unlock a engine?

When you say a engine is locked, many scenarios can come into play. If the vehicle has been running recently and has A/C, make sure the compressor is not froze up as the starter will not turn over an engine if this is the case. You may have to remove the belt to verify this. In all other instances, first remove the spark plugs. By doing this you are reducing compression or resistance. If the starting system is up to par, (battery, starter) disable the ignition system and try to crank the engine. If not try to rotate the crankshaft with the appropiate socket and ratchet or breaker bar. If it rotates, notice if fluid (water or anti-freeze comes out of any spark plug holes. If it does, then the engine was hydrolocked. Air can be compressed, but water cannot. Meaning a bad head or gasket. If engine doesn't rotate and has been sitting for a long time (as in years), then pour a small among of oil into each plug hole to help break any rust buildup. Some people recommend using PB Blaster spray. Some others even say to use brake fluid. This procedure may require an overnight or 2 of soaking. If you do get the engine to turn but only partway in either direction, you may be looking at some serious broken part inside the engine which in turn will translate into disassembly to find the culprit. Hope this helps you.

How do you find what year of your engine?

go to where you got it from and ask them .they should know

Is the internal combustion engine considered obsolete?

Not totally, just because it is an internal combustion engine doesn't exactly mean that fossil fuels need to be burnt. The concept of the Internal Combustion engine is relatively reuseable, the major problem with it is its efficiency. As we all know a good petrol engine will probably get around 25 - 30% efficiency as in driving force. The rest is lost mostly to either friction or heat.

If these problems can be rectified the Internal Combustion engine could possibly run on fossil fuels for another century (Oil depending/Government b*llshit). Yet fuel cells and other means of power are being developed so this depends on the movement of technology.
