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. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

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

   Cooling system regulation includes adjustable baffles in the air flow (sometimes called 'shutters' and commonly run by a pneumatic 'shutterstat'); a fan which operates either independently of the engine, such as an electric fan, or which has an adjustable clutch; and a thermostatic valve or a thermostat that can block the coolant flow when too ...

   Silencer (silver) and exhaust pipe on a Ducati motorcycle A silencer cut open to show the insulation, chambers and piping inside the shell. A muffler (North American and Australian English) [1] or silencer (British English) is a device for reducing the noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine—especially a noise-deadening device forming part of the exhaust system of an ...

5. Component parts of internal combustion engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

   Internal combustion engines have to effectively manage the exhaust of the cooled combustion gas from the engine. The exhaust system frequently contains devices to control both chemical and noise pollution. In addition, for cyclic combustion engines the exhaust system is frequently tuned to improve emptying of the combustion chamber.

6. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

   In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

7. 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 ...

8. Chopper (motorcycle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(motorcycle)

   Many builders eschewed Harley "pattern" motors and frames and started building choppers out of neglected bikes like Yamaha XS-650 twins, old Harley Sportsters, and various 1980's so called UJM bikes (four cylinder air-cooled Japanese bikes - Universal Japanese Motorcycle). Another aspect of the backlash was a return to more traditional styling.

9. Straight-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-twin_engine

   This results in an uneven firing interval where the second cylinder fires 270 degrees after the first, followed by a gap of 450 degrees until the first cylinder fires again. This is the same pattern as a 90 degree V-twin engine, and both configurations have a similar 'pulsing' exhaust sound as a result. The pistons in a 270 degree straight-twin ...
