2. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

   Hydrolock most commonly occurs in automobiles when driving through floods, either where the water is above the level of the air intake or the vehicle's speed is excessive, creating a tall bow wave. A vehicle fitted with a cold air intake mounted low on the vehicle will be especially vulnerable to hydrolocking when being driven through standing ...

3. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

   Water circulation is aided by a rotary pump that has only a slight effect, having to work over such a wide range of speeds that its impeller has only a minimal effect as a pump. While running the leaking pump seal drained cooling water to a level where the pump could no longer return water to the top of the radiator, so water circulation ceased ...

4. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   In automobiles and motorcycles with a liquid-cooled internal combustion engine, a radiator is connected to channels running through the engine and cylinder head, through which a liquid is pumped by a coolant pump. This liquid may be water (in climates where water is unlikely to freeze), but is more commonly a mixture of water and antifreeze in ...

5. Start-stop system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start-stop_system

   A start-stop system off button on a Perodua Myvi. A vehicle start-stop system or stop-start system (also known as S&S, micro hybrid, or micro hybrid electric vehicle (μHEV)) [1] automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

6. Diesel engine runaway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine_runaway

   Engines fitted with a decompressor can also be stopped by operating the decompressor, and in a vehicle with a manual transmission it is sometimes possible to stop the engine by engaging a high gear (i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th etc.), with foot brake and parking brake fully applied, and quickly letting out the clutch to slow the engine RPM to a stop ...

7. Hydraulic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

   Hydraulic shock (colloquial: water hammer; fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly: a momentum change. It is usually observed in a liquid but gases can also be affected.

8. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_belt

   Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

9. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   Revolutions per minute should be around 1500 rpm. Run for about half an hour while checking the oil pressure and there should not be any over-boiling of the engine's coolant, which is a combination of air, oil, and water. Once this initial step is completed, drive at varying speeds on the road (or stand) by accelerating between speeds of 30 and ...
