One of the problems with conventional car engine designs is that the Pistons move in a straight line up and down in their cylinders, To produce what is known as reciprocating motion. Inside a twin-rotor Wankel Yet the road wheels …
The conversion of fuel energy into power in , An engine starts when petrol is mixed with air in a device called a carburetor. To form a highly combustible mixture. The mixture is drawn into the cylinders through valves, Compressed …
The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas, Into the force that turns the road wheels. The chain of reactions that achieve that objective is set in motion …
It is an engine in which the combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine. When the fuel burns inside the engine cylinder, it generates a high temperature and pressure. This high-pressure force is exerted on the piston (A device …
Every engine cylinder must fire once in every cycle. This requires that for a four-stroke four-cylinder engine the ignition system must fire for every 180 degrees of crank rotation. For a six-cylinder engine, the time available is only 120 degrees …
Like the electric locomotive, it has electric drive, in the form of traction motors driving the axles and controlled with electronic controls. It can operate over the same routes and can be operated by the same drivers. It differs principally …
Refining Operations Petroleum refining processes and operations can be separated into five basic areas: Fractionation (distillation) is the separation of crude oil in atmospheric and vacuum distillation towers into groups of hydrocarbon compounds of differing boiling-point ranges called “fractions” or “cuts.” …
Short Block and Long Block The cylinder block assembly (without the heads installed) is called a short block. The short block includes the crankshaft, piston and rod assembly, and ball bearings. On pushrod engines, the camshaft, timing sprockets, and timing …
