  2. Suzuki K engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_K_engine

    The Suzuki K engine family is a series of automobile engines from Suzuki, introduced in 1994. Displacements range from 0.7 L to 1.5 L. All engines have aluminium cylinder blocks with three or four cylinders in-line.

  3. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  4. Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculated_Carbon_Aromati...

    This will normally give a value somewhere between 800 and 880. The lower the value is the better the ignition quality. Fuels with a CCAI higher than 880 are often problematic or even unusable in a diesel engine. CCAI are often calculated under testing of marine fuel.

  5. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s. It can be thought of as the fluid's kinetic energy per unit volume. For incompressible flow, the dynamic pressure of a fluid is the difference between its total pressure and static pressure.

  6. Hyundai Kappa engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Kappa_engine

    Friction between the oil ring and cylinder wall has been further minimized by reducing the oil ring tension. The Kappa engine is the first Hyundai engine to be fitted with an accessory drive belt which does not require a mechanical auto-tensioning adjustment device, reducing the hardware and further lowering weight and cost.

  7. Octane rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    Octane rating does not relate directly to the power output or the energy content of the fuel per unit mass or volume, but simply indicates the resistance to detonating under pressure without a spark. Whether a higher octane fuel improves or impairs an engine's performance depends on the design of the engine.

  8. Reid vapor pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reid_vapor_pressure

    Reid vapor pressure (RVP) is a common measure of the volatility of gasoline and other petroleum products. [1] It is defined as the absolute vapor pressure exerted by the vapor of the liquid and any dissolved gases/moisture at 37.8 °C (100 °F) as determined by the test method ASTM-D-323, which was first developed in 1930 [2] and has been revised several times (the latest version is ASTM D323 ...

  9. Automotive Safety Integrity Level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_Safety...

    Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is a risk classification scheme defined by the ISO 26262 - Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard. This is an adaptation of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) used in IEC 61508 for the automotive industry.
