  2. Crankcase dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_dilution

    Other than the piston rings, “blow-by” gases can push the fuel oil past the rings and into the crankcase. [1] “Blow-by” gases are a mix of fuel oil and exhaust gases that push past the piston rings. Crankcase dilution is caused more when the lube oil is fresher. [3] Another cause of crankcase dilution is a slow or delayed injection ...

  3. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    Dry sump engines in some drag racing cars use scavenging pumps to extract oil and gases from the crankcase. [18] A separator removes the oil, then the gases are fed into the exhaust system via a venturi tube. [citation needed]. This system maintains a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase and minimises the amount of oil in the engine that ...

  4. Two-stroke oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_oil

    The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a special type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered ...

  5. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    In a wet-sump engine, oil slosh against spinning parts causes substantial viscous drag which creates parasitic power loss. [5] [6] A dry-sump system removes oil from the crankcase, along with the possibility of such viscous drag. More complex dry-sump systems may scavenge oil from other areas where oil may pool, such as in the valvetrain.

  6. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

    The large-journal connecting rods were thicker (heavier) and used 3 ⁄ 8 in (9.5 mm) diameter cap-bolts to replace the small-journal's 11/32. 1968 blocks were made in 2-bolt and 4-bolt versions with the 4-bolt center-three main caps each fastened by two additional bolts which were supported by the addition of thicker crankcase main-web bulkheads.

  7. Crankcase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase

    Four-stroke engines typically have an oil sump at the bottom of the crankcase and the majority of the engine's oil is held within the crankcase. The fuel/air mixture does not pass through the crankcase, though a small amount of exhaust gasses often enter as "blow-by" from the combustion chamber , particularly in engines with worn rings.

  8. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  9. Dilution ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_ratio

    The diluted material must be thoroughly mixed to achieve the true dilution. For example, in a solution with a 1:5 dilution ratio, entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with 5 unit volumes of the solvent to give 6 total units of total volume. In photographic development, dilutions are normally given in a '1+x ...
