  2. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.

  3. Manifold injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_injection

    It is usually installed right behind the throttle valve in the throttle body. Single-point injection was a relatively low-cost way for automakers to reduce exhaust emissions to comply with tightening regulations while providing better "driveability" (easy starting, smooth running, freedom from hesitation) than could be obtained with a carburetor.

  4. Throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    In fuel injected engines, the throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver accelerator pedal input in the main. The throttle body is usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold, and it is usually attached to, or near, the mass airflow sensor.

  5. Lean-burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-burn

    A lean burn mode is a way to reduce throttling losses. An engine in a typical vehicle is sized for providing the power desired for acceleration, but must operate well below that point in normal steady-speed operation. Ordinarily, the power is cut by partially closing a throttle.

  6. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

    As the throttle is closed, this pressure is reduced due to restricting the fuel/air mixture available to the engine, i.e. causing it to operate at lower power than it is capable of producing. Oil temperature gauge - Indicates the engine oil temperature. Oil pressure gauge - Indicates the supply pressure of the engine lubricant.

  7. Gasoline direct injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection

    The ability to produce peak power at high engine speeds (RPM) is more limited for GDI, since there is a shorter period of time available to inject the required quantity of fuel. In manifold injection (as well as carburetors and throttle-body fuel injection), fuel can be added to the intake air mixture at any time.

  8. Body Lotion vs. Body Oil: Which Is the Ultimate Moisturizer?

    Body lotions and body oils both offer plenty of hydrating and moisturizing benefits. But when it comes to choosing the best one for your skin, there are a few things to consider.

  9. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    Here, the words "upstream" and "downstream" refer to before and after the liquid passes through the throttling valve or device. This type of flash evaporation is used in the desalination of brackish water or ocean water by "Multi-Stage Flash Distillation." The water is heated and then routed into a reduced-pressure flash evaporation "stage ...
