  2. Valve seat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_seat

    The valve seat is a critical component of an engine in that if it is improperly positioned, oriented, or formed during manufacture, valve leakage will occur which will adversely affect the engine compression ratio and therefore the engine efficiency, performance (engine power and engine torque), exhaust emissions, and engine life.

  3. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    Exhaust system of the Opel Corsa B 1.2 petrol Exhaust manifold (chrome plated) on a car engine. An exhaust system is used to guide reaction exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine or stove. The entire system conveys burnt gases from the engine and includes one or more exhaust pipes. Depending on the overall system ...

  4. Inlet manifold - Wikipedia

    Carburetors used as intake runners A cutaway view of the intake of the original Fordson tractor (including the intake manifold, vaporizer, carburetor, and fuel lines). An inlet manifold or intake manifold (in American English) is the part of an internal combustion engine that supplies the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. [1]

  5. Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_manifold

    Exhaust manifolds are generally simple cast iron or stainless steel [2] units which collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinders and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. For many engines, there are aftermarket tubular exhaust manifolds known as headers in American English , as extractor manifolds in British and Australian English , [ 3 ] and ...

  6. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    One vendor's guide for wastegate sizing is as follows: [9] big turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate; big turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate; small turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate; small turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate; However, exhaust flow is an effect of power. So, another decision chart should look like this. [citation needed]

  7. Back pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_pressure

    Back pressure is the term used for the hydraulic pressure required to create a flow through a chromatography column in high-performance liquid chromatography, the term deriving from the fact that it is generated by the resistance of the column, and exerts its influence backwards on the pump that must supply the flow.

  8. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    A local exhaust system is composed of five basic parts: A hood that captures the contaminant at its source; Ducts for transporting the air; An air-cleaning device that removes/minimizes the contaminant; A fan that moves the air through the system; An exhaust stack through which the contaminated air is discharged [35]

  9. ATA 100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_100

    ATA 100 contains the reference to the ATA numbering system which is a common referencing standard for commercial aircraft documentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and understanding for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and engineers alike.
