3Mayfair Pumping Station — The Mayfair Pumping Station is an historic structure on Northwest side of Chicago, United States. Located at 4850 W. Wilson Avenue, the pumping station has served as the archetype for similar pumping stations worldwide. Contents 1 History 2 The… …
4Laser pumping — is the act of energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of a laser. The energy is absorbed in the medium, producing excited states in its atoms. When the number of particles in one excited state exceeds the number of particles… …
5Continuous variable valve timing — offers a unique ability to have independent control of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine. For any engine load criteria, the timing of intake and exhaust can be independently programmed [1]. The main variations of… …
6Engine efficiency — of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work. There are two classifications of thermal engines (1) Internal combustion (gasoline, diesel and gas… …
7Variable displacement — is an automobile engine technology that allows the engine displacement to change, usually by deactivating cylinders, for improved fuel economy. The technology is primarily used in large, multi cylinder engines. Many automobile manufacturers have… …
8Torque converter — A torque converter is a modified form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a , such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. Like a basic fluid coupling, the torque converter… …
9Variable valve timing — Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. Two… …
10Active Fuel Management — See the main article on variable displacement for other similar systems Active Fuel Management (formerly known as Displacement on Demand) is a trademarked name for the automobile variable displacement technology from General Motors. It allows a… …
