  2. Exhaust heat management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_Heat_Management

    Exhaust heat wrapping has been used for many years to improve performance and avoid burns from motorcycle exhausts. Heat wrap consists of a high-temperature synthetic fabric which is wrapped around the manifold. Often sold as a cheap and easy way to boost horsepower, exhaust wrap does not increase engine output much. [1]

  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. Exhaust heat recovery system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_heat_recovery_system

    Exhaust Heat Recovery Unit in Toyota Prius PHV. An exhaust heat recovery system turns waste heat energy in exhaust gases into electric energy for batteries or mechanical energy reintroduced on the crankshaft. The technology is of increasing interest as car and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers continue to increase efficiency, saving fuel and ...

    Example of pipe marking through colors and symbols (arrows) to indicated pipe contents (colors) and flow direction (arrows). Pipe marking on a natural gas pipe In the process industry , chemical industry , manufacturing industry , and other commercial and industrial contexts, pipe marking is used to identify the contents, properties and flow ...

  6. Miller Wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_Wedge

    In theory, the wedge body offered an aerodynamic advantage, decreasing turbulent airflow over the rear wheels, as well as increasing downforce; [3] in practise, the extra weight exceeded any advantage. Miller ran the car for the 1974 season, but had "mixed results"; [1] the car had no obvious edge over more conventional rear-engined dragsters.

  7. Expansion chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_chamber

    When the descending piston first exposes the exhaust port on the cylinder wall, the exhaust flows out powerfully due to its pressure (without assistance from the expansion chamber) so the diameter/area over the length of the first portion of the pipe is constant or near constant with a divergence of 0 to 2 degrees which preserves wave energy ...

  8. Exhaust gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas

    Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type, rate of consumption or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator ...
