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

Industry Background The automotive industry in Canada is currently the ninth largest auto producer in the world‚ and is the biggest contributor for Canada’s GDP. Over 550‚000 jobs in Canada are formed from the $19.4 billion dollar industry. Automotive vehicles are a necessary part of most individual’s lives‚ and are used for work or/and pleasure. Vehicle assemblers in Canada are highly competitive and account for 3.7% of the world total population. With roughly 68.6 million units and a surplus

for their operation‚ this extra weight will reduce their performance levels. The turbo diesel engine will gain a higher percentage of the increase in horsepower but will not automatically become faster than a similar sized gasoline engine with a turbocharger offering the same amount of boost. Complexity is reduced in a diesel engine as there is no ignition system but this is not a total advantage as they can be noisy and may require frequent maintenance intervals when compared to a petrol engine.

Did you know that many people do many things for many different reasons .So why would you dragster‚ well you can dragster for your own entertainment or you can dragster to feel the exhilarating feeling of building a car that is running off air. After this essay you will know what dragster racing is and know how to race and test a CO2‚ so maybe you can build one your own. Carbon dioxide is a colorless‚ odorless gas found in our atmosphere. It is a chemical formula is CO2‚ which means it is one

multiple staging‚ they can achieve extremely high output pressures greater than 10‚000 psi (69 MPa). Many large snow-making operations (like ski resorts) use this type of compressor. They are also used in internal combustion engines as superchargers and turbochargers. Centrifugal compressors are used in small gas turbine engines or as the final compression stage of medium sized gas Diagonal or mixed-flow compressors Diagonal or mixed-flow compressors are similar to centrifugal compressors‚ but have

room. Air from the atmosphere is filtered by air filter and conveyed to the inlet manifold of engine. In large plants supercharger/turbocharger is used for increasing the pressure of input air which increases the power output. c) Exhaust System This includes the silencers and connecting ducts. The heat content of the exhaust gas is utilized in a turbine in a turbocharger to compress the air input to the engine. d) Fuel System Fuel is stored in a tank from where it flows to the fuel pump

Compressors are similar to pump‚ both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ while some can be compressed‚ the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of compressors The main types of compressors are shown below: Compressor types Positive displacement Dynamic 1. Reciprocating. 2. Rotary 1.Centrifugal. 2. Axial

Cars may be classified by a number of different criteria and objectives. However‚ comprehensive classification is elusive‚ because a vehicle may fit into multiple categories‚ or not completely satisfy the requirements for anyone‚ but certain categories are for racers who like high performance vehicles. These categories are muscle cars‚ tuner cars‚ and exotic cars. Muscle cars are usually referred to as a variety of high-performance automobiles. Its any group of American-made 2-door sports coupes
