pumping losses
1pumping losses — That part of engine power which is expended on the induction of the fuel and air charge into the engine and the expulsion of combustion gases …
2losses — also See charge losses evaporative losses friction losses pumping losses scavenging losses …
3Laser 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… …
4Continuous 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… …
5Engine 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… …
6Stirling cycle — This article is about the real Stirling cycle. For the idealized Stirling cycle , see the Stirling engine article. IntroductionThe Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices. This includes the… …
7Bourke engine — The Bourke Engine was designed by Russell Bourke in the 1920s, as an improved two stroke engine. Despite finishing his design and building several working engines, the onset of World War II, lack of test results,[1] and the poor health of his… …
8Stirling engine — Alpha type Stirling engine. There are two cylinders. The expansion cylinder (red) is maintained at a high temperature while the compression cylinder (blue) is cooled. The passage between the two cylinders contains the regenerator …
9Solar thermal energy — Solar thermal system for water heating in Santorini, Greece …
10VTEC — is also an abbreviation for the verocytotoxin producing Escherichia coli strain O157:H7 .: For the education institution, see Virginia Tech. VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to… …
