  2. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASME_Boiler_and_Pressure...

    The pressure vessels can be either fired or unfired. [17] The pressure may be from external sources, or by the application of heating from an indirect or direct source as a result of a process, or any combination of the two. [18] The rules contained in this section can be used as an alternative to the minimum requirements specified in Division 1.

  3. Compressed-air car - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_car

    Energy recovery systems with regenerative suspension and regenerative braking produce low pressure compressed air. This can be stored in a pressure vessel. Pistonless engines using compressed air are very quiet. [11] There is no fire hazard after accidents, unlike systems that utilize combustion fuels or high power batteries.

  4. List of boiler types by manufacturer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boiler_types_by...

    Stanley steam-car boiler: an extremely compact vertical multitubular fire-tube boiler, used in the Stanley steam car. Steam generator: modern boilers, with very small volume in relation to their heating area. Boiling is thus almost instantaneous and the volume of heated, but unboiled, water is minimal. [56]

  5. Compressed-air vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_vehicle

    The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. [6]The pressure vessels or air storage tanks that can be used in compressed-air vehicles can be made of low pressure (9 atm (130 psi)) or high pressure (more than 240 atm (3,500 psi)), and can be made of composite materials like thermoplastic and fiber reinforced thermoplastics, [7] [8] that ...

  6. Pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_vessel

    The ASME definition of a pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. [2]The Australian and New Zealand standard "AS/NZS 1200:2000 Pressure equipment" defines a pressure vessel as a vessel subject to internal or external pressure, including connected components and accessories up to the connection to external ...

  7. Vehicle classification by propulsion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Classification_by...

    Almost all vehicles have a starter motor that will crank the engine. Alternator is being fed by starter battery. That battery is recharged by alternator that is turned by engine. Electricity generated is used to recharge starter battery and also run all auxiliary functions like spark plugs, lights, fans.

  8. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

    A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

  9. Pressure-fed engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-fed_engine

    Pressure-fed rocket cycle. Propellant tanks are pressurized to directly supply fuel and oxidizer to the engine, eliminating the need for turbopumps. The pressure-fed engine is a class of rocket engine designs. A separate gas supply, usually helium, pressurizes the propellant tanks to force fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber. To ...
