  2. Onboard refueling vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboard_refueling_vapor...

    The vapors which are displaced from the fuel tank by the incoming fuel are routed via the vapor vent line to the canister and are absorbed by activated carbon. These canisters are made of either steel or plastic. The size of this canister is tailored to accommodate expected evaporative emissions.

  3. Vehicle emissions control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control

    Fuel vapor storage canister for a Peugeot 205. Evaporative emissions are the result of gasoline vapors escaping from the vehicle's fuel system. Since 1971, all U.S. vehicles have had fully sealed fuel systems that do not vent directly to the atmosphere; mandates for systems of this type appeared contemporaneously in other jurisdictions.

  4. Exhaust mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_mixer

    Exhaust mixer of a JT8D engine of a Boeing 737-200. In aviation, an exhaust mixer / flow mixer is a feature of many turbofan engines, where slower, colder bypass air is mixed with faster, hotter core exhaust gases, before exhausting to atmospheric pressure through a common (mixed flow) propelling nozzle.

  5. Bypass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_ratio

    The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. [1] A 10:1 bypass ratio, for example, means that 10 kg of air passes through the bypass duct for every 1 kg of air passing through the core.

  6. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    A vapor-compression evaporator, like most evaporators, can make reasonably clean water from any water source. In a salt crystallizer, for example, a typical analysis of the resulting condensate shows a typical content of residual salt not higher than 50 ppm or, in terms of electrical conductance , not higher than 10 μS/cm .

  7. Early fuel evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_fuel_evaporator

    The early fuel evaporator is a device found in some internal combustion engines with carburetors.It can sometimes be referred to as an electronic fuel evaporator. The device on a car, commonly referred to as an EFE heater, is located between the throttle body of the carburetor and the intake manifold as a gasket and contains a resistance grid that heats the air/fuel mixture.

  8. General Electric XA100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_XA100

    The XA100 can adjust the bypass ratio and fan pressure ratio to increase fuel efficiency or thrust, depending on the scenario, by employing an adaptive fan that can direct air into a third bypass stream in order to increase fuel economy and act as a heat sink for cooling; in particular, this would enable greater use of the high speed, low ...

  9. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    A blowoff valve (also called dump valve or compressor bypass valve) is a pressure release system present in most petrol turbocharged engines. Blowoff valves are used to reduce pressure in the intake system as the throttle is closed, thus preventing compressor surge .
