regressions and data sets do not contain the 6 passenger busses‚ being there are only very few and that they might skew the regression. To explain a little about maintenance on busses‚ a routine oil change can run anywhere between $150-$250. Diesel engines can go 6‚000 to 10‚000 miles between oil changes depending on idling time and driving time. If you buy a used bus‚ one of the first major components that may fail you is the turbocharger. Expect to pay $1‚700-$2‚000 for a replacement. A tire

of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine’s horsepower without significantly increasing its weight‚ which is the huge benefit that makes turbochargers so popular. A turbo basically makes your car go faster by forcing compressed air into the engine. It’s a type of force induction system; it forces more air into the cylinder which means more fuel can be added in which results as more power is produced. It increases

Comparison Essay Ford vs. Chevrolet There has always been the debate of who makes the best one-ton diesel. Ford and Chevrolet have been competing for the title of the best truck in the work industry for over fifty years. Ford has the F-350 and Chevrolet has the 3500. Two ways to compare these two machines is through there performance and durability. The two trucks are good work trucks but you do not just want a good truck‚ you want the best for the job and the best is Ford’s F-350

Uses of fossil fuel Fossil fuels consist of coal‚ petroleum and natural gas that are found under the earth’s surface‚ formed from billions of years of compression and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter. They are the leading source of energy for the mankind and are used for various purposes like energy for transportation‚ electricity‚ manufacturing process and also used in the manufacturing process of day to day items like plastic. Main fossil fuels are. 1. Coal Coal is

the main source for the piston slap‚ which in turn causes the impact on the cylinder walls resulting in engine vibration and noise. In the present study‚ an effort is made to understand the effect of the thermal load‚ generated by the combustion of fuel inside the cylinder‚ on the piston deformation and thermal stresses induced in piston. This deformation of the piston inside the cylinder causes the gap between the cylinder and piston to vary and also the piston to move transversely along with impact
