Engine Problems while in Operation DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS: FUEL‚ AIR‚ STARTING‚ WIRING Many cases of engine failure are a result of a relatively small number of faults so it’s often possible to get the motor running again within a few minutes. However‚ when diagnosing problems it’s important to work in a systematic fashion and avoid the temptation to jump to conclusions.

Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are a type of aircraft powerplant that use a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’s exhaust gases contain little energy compared to a jet engine and play a minor role in the propulsion of the aircraft. The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output to low RPM‚

confused with the catapult. The Mangonel is believed to be invented by the Romans in 400BC. During the Medieval age the engine was used most by the French. It’s named Mangonel because the Latin word manganon means “an engine of war”. Mangonels were referred to as scorpions because the arm of the engine was like the tail of the animal. The Mangonel wasn’t as accurate as other siege engines but did go a greater distance. The Mangonel has a long arm attached to a bowl like bucket. The base had wheels so

WANKEL ENGINE The Wankel engine‚ invented by German engineer Felix Wankel‚ is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four-stroke cycle takes place in a space between the inside of an oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing and a rotor that is similar in shape to a Reuleaux triangle but with sides that are somewhat flatter. This design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact size. Since

The Diesel Engine Diesel engines are very similar to the gasoline engine you may find in a car. They both are internal combustion engines‚ have a four stroke cycle‚ and convert chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy. However‚ the manner in which the combustion stroke is attained sets these two engines apart‚ and although a seemingly meaningless change‚ a large change in efficiency results. (Diesel Engines vs. Gasoline Engines) The diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1892

Diesel Engines Diesel engines are everywhere; they are used in all sorts of vehicle platforms. From Volkswagen Jetta’s‚ to big eighteen wheel tractor trailer trucks. They provide more torque then a regular gasoline engine because of the long stroke of the piston. Most diesel engines make peak torque at very low rpm. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs. They develop combustion by heating up the air going into the cylinder‚ while the air is heated the fuel injector sprays into the bowl of
