DIESEL MECHANIC Growing up in Odessa I remember waking up in the mornings‚ going outside and taking a deep beath. The smell of West Texas air is a mixture of Diesel‚ cattle‚ oil and dirt. These are a few of the scents that I cannot see myself living without. In the mornings I would gather my toy trucks and toy tools to go play in the backyard. I would spend hours outside taking things apart and putting them back together. My father would even let me help him repair or take a look at our vehicles

1.Steam Turbines 2. Wind Turbines 3. Water Turbines 4. Gas Turbines It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam‚ which results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible process. APPLICATIONS: - The steam turbine system

you agree with the idling engine ban? A few years ago‚ the Environmental Protection Department proposed to legislate the idling engine ban‚ under which all vehicles must switch off their engines. I totally disagree with the idling engine ban‚ for I think that this policy not only cannot bring benefits to pedestrians in air quality‚ but instead brings harm to drivers and passengers. To start with‚ the idling engine ban brings inconvenience to drivers. As the idling engine ban proposes that a driver

carburetor - the idle port and the off-idle or transfer port. The idle port‚ found just below the venturi‚ is responsible for getting fuel into the engine when there is minimal airflow in the carburetor. This happens when the engine is at a low speed. The off-idle port‚ found above the idle port‚ feeds additional fuel to the engine during low engine

REINDEER AND ENGINE – COMMENTARY The poem ’Reindeer and Engine’ by Josephine Jacobsen is an extract from the poet’s 1966 work ’The Animal Inside’. The poem is about a reindeer who is fleeing from a steam engine‚ in the forests of Finland. However‚ wherever the reindeer seems to turn‚ engine tends to follow. The poet Josephine Jacobsen introduces a very relevant issue‚ from the title of the poem itself – that of nature versus technology. In a sense‚ the reindeer and the engine are contrasting ideas

Material used in engine block casting In order to meet the above functional requirements the material used for manufacturing the product should contain many properties. They are‚ the material should contain high strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ wear resistance‚ ability to withstand vibrations‚ and corrosion resistance. High strength is mostly concerned in diesel engines because of their high compression ratios compared with petrol engines. In diesel engine its compression ratios are normally 17:1
