The root language of a numerical prefix need not be related to the root language of the word that it prefixes. Some words comprising numerical prefixes are hybrid words. In certain classes of systematic names, there are a few other exceptions to the rule of using Greek-derived numerical prefixes.
Multifuel, sometimes spelled multi-fuel, is any type of engine, boiler, or heater or other fuel-burning device which is designed to burn multiple types of fuels in its operation. One common application of multifuel technology is in military settings, where the normally-used diesel or gas turbine fuel might not be available during combat ...
An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.
An early example of a lobe pump is the Roots Blower, patented in 1860 [1] to blow combustion air to melt iron in blast furnaces, but now more commonly used as an engine supercharger. Lobe pumps are used in a variety of industries including pulp and paper, chemical, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology. They are popular in these ...
The ignition system of an internal combustion engines depends on the type of engine and the fuel used. Petrol engines are typically ignited by a precisely timed spark, and diesel engines by compression heating. Historically, outside flame and hot-tube systems were used, see hot bulb engine.
Trionic is an engine management system developed by Saab Automobile. It consists of an engine control unit (ECU) that controls 3 engine aspects: Ignition timing; Fuel injection; Acts as a boost controller. The numerical prefix 'tri-' yes (Tri being three) in Trionic. 'Ion' comes from the fact that it uses ion current, measured by the spark ...
Stock image of a gasoline fuel nozzle. More than 150 million cases of mental health disorders — including ADHD , anxiety and depression — may have been caused by lead in gasoline.
The first phase of the IKCO EF Engines project, the EF7 Dual-Fuel, had an estimated cost of US$80,000,000 [4] and aimed to supply 800,000 powertrains by 2010. [5] Most EF engines share a set of common parts. The EF4 and EF7 are bi-fuel engines that primarily use compressed natural gas but can also operate on gasoline. The EFD is a single-fuel ...
