  2. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

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

    A calibrated pressure-relief valve is usually incorporated in the radiator's fill cap. This pressure varies between models, but typically ranges from 4 to 30 psi (30 to 200 kPa). [4] As the coolant system pressure increases with a rise in temperature, it will reach the point where the pressure relief valve allows excess pressure to escape.

  3. Carburetor heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_heat

    A fixed-pitch propeller aircraft will show a decrease in engine RPM, and perhaps run rough, when carburetor ice has formed. However, a constant-speed propeller aircraft will show a decrease in manifold pressure as power is reduced. [1] In light aircraft, the carburetor heat is usually manually controlled by the pilot.

  4. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    An air-cooled engine uses all of this difference. In contrast, a liquid-cooled engine might dump heat from the engine to a liquid, heating the liquid to 135 °C (water's standard boiling point of 100 °C can be exceeded as the cooling system is both pressurised, and uses a mixture with antifreeze) which is then cooled with 20 °C air.

  6. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    The vast majority of vehicles manufactured after 1987 are fuel-injected: the injectors and high-pressure fuel pump immediately cease supplying fuel to the cylinders when the ignition is switched off. If the injector is damaged or dirty, a small amount of fuel can enter the chamber and be ignited, causing a sputter or two after the engine is ...

  7. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    Auto-ignition of engine oil droplets (Can be solved by using an oil catch tank) [3] Insufficient oil in the engine; Ignition timing too far advanced; Too much air/too little fuel (octane) to withstand pressures (too much air causes too much pressure for the octane to handle, too little fuel reduces the octane to handle the pressurized air) [5]

  8. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is typically applied to pistons (piston engine), turbine blades (gas turbine), a rotor (Wankel engine), or a nozzle . This force moves the component over a distance.
