flow of fuel
1Fuel saving device — Fuel saving devices are sold on the aftermarket with claims to improve the fuel economy and/or the exhaust emissions of a vehicle. There are numerous different types of device; many purport to optimize ignition, air flow, or fuel flow in some way …
2Fuel System Icing Inhibitor — (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist®. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear… …
3Fuel control unit — is the generic term given to any of several types of control systems for gas turbine engines.Fundamentals of turbine engine controlGas turbine engines are primarily controlled by the amount of fuel supplied to the combustion chambers. With this… …
4Fuel cell — For other uses, see Fuel cell (disambiguation). Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell. The actual fuel cell stack is the layered cube shape in the center of the image A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a… …
5Fuel mass fraction — In combustion physics, fuel mass fraction is the ratio of fuel mass flow to the total mass flow of a fuel mixture. If an air flow is fuel free, the fuel mass fraction is zero; in pure fuel without trapped gases, the ratio is unity. [cite book |… …
6fuel cut-off switch — A control device which manually or automatically turns off the flow of fuel. Also see inertia fuel cut off switch …
7fuel cock — device for turning the flow of fuel on or off …
8Fuel pump — should not be confused with fuel dispenser, a device that dispenses fuel into an automobile. A high pressure fuel pump on a Yanmar 2GM20 marine diesel engine. A fuel pump is a frequently (but not always) essential component on a car or other… …
9Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors — (also known as green driving) describe techniques that drivers can use to optimize their automobile fuel economy. The energy in fuel consumed in driving is lost in many ways, including engine inefficiency, aerodynamic drag, rolling friction, and… …
10Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… …
