  2. Emulsified fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsified_fuel

    Oil-in-water emulsified fuels, such as the Orimulsion system and bitumen emulsions, are examples of water-continuous systems. These emulsions are often considered high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) because the continuous phase makes up about 30% of the fuel composition, whereas the dispersed phase is usually the minor component.

  3. Oily water separator (marine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oily_water_separator_(marine)

    Oil leaks from running machinery such as diesel generators, air compressors, and the main propulsion engine. Modern OWSs have alarms and automatic closure devices which are activated when the oil storage content of the waste water exceeds a certain limit(15ppm : 15 cm3 of oil in 1m3 of water). [citation needed]

  4. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

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

    However, properties of the coolant (water, oil, or air) also affect cooling. As example which compares water and oil as coolants, one gram of oil can absorb about 55% of the heat for the same rise in temperature (called the specific heat capacity). Oil has about 90% the density of water, so a given volume of oil can absorb only about 50% of the ...

  5. Fuel reserve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_reserve

    In most cases, the main and the reserve settings are actually drawing from the same tank, but there are two outlets through which the fuel may leave. One outlet is located a short distance above the other, when the fuel selector is set to the 'main' position, the fuel will flow from the upper outlet, and will stop flowing when the fuel level ...

  6. Valve seat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_seat

    The valve seat is a critical component of an engine in that if it is improperly positioned, oriented, or formed during manufacture, valve leakage will occur which will adversely affect the engine compression ratio and therefore the engine efficiency, performance (engine power and engine torque), exhaust emissions, and engine life. Valve seats ...

  7. KTM Class 91 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTM_Class_91

    The class 91 operates in a fixed 6-cars configuration. Currently, class 91 sets are mainly used for long distance intercity travel. [5] In 2010–2012, 2 sets of KTM class 91 were being used for normal commuter use due to a shortage of trains. While in commuter use, long distance facilities such as toilets and cafes were closed and locked.

  8. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any one of various substances used for the lubrication of internal combustion engines. They typically consist of base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additives , detergents, dispersants , and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers .

  9. Engine room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_room

    Engine room of the Finnish submarine Vesikko in 2010. The engine room of a motor vessel typically contains several engines for different purposes. Main, or propulsion, engines are used to turn the ship's propeller and move the ship through the water. They typically burn diesel oil or heavy fuel oil, and may be able to switch between the two ...
