  • Petrol/Gasoline: Automotive Gasoline And Gasoline-Ignition Engine Fuels

    986 Words  | 2 Pages

    Petrol/Gasoline Automotive gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends are used in internal combustion spark-ignition engines. These spark ignition engine fuels are primarily used for passenger cars. They are also used in off-highway utility vans, farm machinery and in other spark ignition engines employed in a variety of service applications. Gasoline is a complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons that vary widely in chemical & physical properties and are derived from fractional distillation

    need transmissions because of the physics of the gasoline engine. First of all any engine has a redline. A red line is the maximum rpm value above which the engine cannot go without blowing up and sending parts flying everywhere. Transmissions use gears and gear ratios to keep the engine running under its redline. Secondly, transmissions are needed in order to keep the engine in its maximum torque range. Without a transmission the engine would not be efficient at all, because it would never stay

    1166 Words  | 3 Pages

    Babbage was known as the “Father of Computing” for his contributions to the basic design of the computer through his Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine was the earliest expression of an all-purpose, programmable computer. His previous Difference Engine was a special purpose device intended for the production of tables. Both the Difference and Analytical Engines were the earliest direct progenitors of modern computers. Even as a little boy, he always tinkered with little mechanical things

    545 Words  | 2 Pages

    Presence of Vibrations in Mechanical Systems – Machine Health monitoring Vibrations are found in most machines especially those that have rotating or reciprocating systems. Some of the vibrations are normal to the standard operation of the machine but some may be the result of mechanical faults including mass unbalance, coupling misalignment, mechanical looseness, and many other causes. So unbalance is the cause of most of the abnormal machine vibration. For example an unbalanced rotor always causes

  • Physics of Snowmachine Clutches

    1680 Words  | 4 Pages

    * The primary purpose of the clutch is to smoothly transmit power from the engine to the jackshaft and to remove the connection when the engine is idling so that the machine is not always rolling. * This type of system is also referred to as a continuously variable transmission. It is called this because as the engine speed increases the final drive ratio increases. That is, the difference between the engine speed and track speed decreases. It is equivalent to an automatic transmission

    Internal combustion engines gain repelling force by high pressure, which composed of combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber. Depending on this repelling force ,piston starts to move and it supplies the engine power to the required mechanical elements so, runs the vehicle. This is the working principle of internal combustion engines. In other words, internal combustion engines are the machines, which turn fuel’s chemical energy before turning mechanical energy. Combustion occurs inside

    are proofs showing that petrol (gasoline) cars are more powerful compared to diesel cars. The main difference between diesel cars and petrol cars is the ignition. Petrol engines use spark ignition whereas diesel engines utilize compression ignition. This gives petrol cars a faster, more powerful start and higher BHP(brake horse power), which means higher KW. Chris Rosamond, an author from Auto Express, a weekly motoring magazine in the United Kingdom stated that diesel engine power band was usually

    Classification of Various Power Sources for a Car: Petrol, Diesel, and Electricity Most people today fill up their car with different qualities of petrol, because that's what the average car takes. They don't usually consider an alternative for the petrol that they load into their cars. Although petrol is widely used, it is not the only source for a car to get its power from; diesel and electricity are alternatives to the general petrol used by most cars. Although different from each other, diesel
