A fuel control unit attempts to solve those problems by acting as an intermediary between the operator's controls and the fuel valve. The operator has a power lever which only controls the engine's potential, not the actual fuel flow. The fuel control unit acts as a computer to determine the amount of fuel needed to deliver the power requested ...
A turbine engine failure occurs when a gas turbine engine unexpectedly stops producing power due to a malfunction other than fuel exhaustion. It often applies for aircraft , but other turbine engines can also fail, such as ground-based turbines used in power plants or combined diesel and gas vessels and vehicles.
Initially, the first engines developed (GT-300 and 302) did not have a regenerator, but adding regeneration to recapture heat from the exhaust gases was found to reduce fuel consumption by 1 ⁄ 2 for the second-generation GT-304, so subsequent generations of GM Whirlfire gas turbine engines incorporated a regenerator.
Cars, usually speed record or concept cars, powered by gas turbine turboshaft engines and driven primarily by their wheels. See Jet cars for land speed record cars driven by turbojet engines. See also the categories Cars powered by aircraft engines and Jet cars
Honda has recalled 720,810 cars for cracked pumps that can cause fuel leaks. This is the second major recall from Honda this month. ... In some cases, the odor of gas while vehicles were driven or ...
The next two runs with the new pump were a great disappointment; the instruments showed no significant flow or pressure rise. The problem was traced to the exit diffuser of the pump, which was too small and insufficiently cooled during the cool-down cycle so that it limited the flow. This was corrected by adding vent holes in the pump housing ...
Accessory Gearbox – bevel gears that extract 35 to 100 hp (26 to 75 kW) from the high-pressure spool to operate the fuel control unit, starter, oil pump, and vehicle hydraulic pump; Power Turbines – the first stage of the two-stage power turbine is driven by a variable-geometry nozzle to improve efficiency
Honda is recalling 2.6 million cars, SUVs, vans and pickups in the United States because the fuel pump could fail. If that happens while driving, the vehicle could suddenly lose power.
