  2. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

    The power produced by an engine increases with the engine's RPM to a maximum, then falls away. This is known as the point of maximum power . Given a curve describing the overall drag on the vehicle, it is simple to find the speed at which the total drag forces are the same as the maximum power of the engine.

  3. Sentence diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_diagram

    A sentence diagram is a pictorial representation of the grammatical structure of a sentence. The term "sentence diagram" is used more when teaching written language, where sentences are diagrammed. The model shows the relations between words and the nature of sentence structure and can be used as a tool to help recognize which potential ...

  4. International English Language Testing System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_English...

    IELTS Academic and General Training both incorporate the following features: IELTS tests the ability to listen, read, write and speak in English. The speaking module is a key component of IELTS. It is conducted in the form of a one-to-one interview with an examiner which can occur face to face or even through a video conference.

  5. Wear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear

    The wear rate is affected by factors such as type of loading (e.g., impact, static, dynamic), type of motion (e.g., sliding, rolling), temperature, and lubrication, in particular by the process of deposition and wearing out of the boundary lubrication layer. [5] Depending on the tribosystem, different wear types and wear mechanisms can be observed.

  6. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    Continued operation of an internal combustion engine without adequate engine oil can cause damage to the engine, first by wear and tear, and in extreme cases by "engine seizure" where the lack of lubrication and cooling causes the engine to cease operation suddenly. Engine seizure can cause extensive damage to the engine mechanisms. [8] [9]

  7. Driving cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_cycle

    The "Drive-cycle" basically is the representative of the road. Drive cycles are used to reduce the expense of on road tests, time of test and fatigue of the test engineer. The whole idea is to bring the road to the test lab (a chassis dynamo-meter) or to the computer simulation. Two kinds of drive cycle can be made.

  8. Tire tread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

    The word tread is often used casually to refer to the pattern of grooves molded into the rubber, but those grooves are correctly called the tread pattern, or simply the pattern. The grooves are not the tread, they are in the tread. This distinction is especially significant in the case of racing slicks, which have much tread but no grooves.

  9. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...
