  2. Magnetic chip detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_chip_detector

    Chip Detectors consist of small plugs which can be installed in an engine oil filter, oil sump or aircraft drivetrain gear boxes. Over a period of time, engine wear and tear causes small metal chips to break loose from engine parts and circulate in the engine oil. The detector houses magnets incorporated into an electric circuit.

  3. Wet sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_sump

    An internal oil pump is generally more difficult to replace, but that is dependent on the engine design. A wet sump design can be problematic in a racing car, as the large g force pulled by drivers going around corners causes the oil in the pan to slosh, gravitating away from the oil pick-up, briefly starving the system of oil and damaging the ...

  4. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    A fusible plug is a threaded cylinder of metal, usually bronze, brass or gunmetal, with a tapered hole drilled completely through its length. This hole is sealed with a metal of low melting point that flows away if a predetermined high temperature is reached.

    The largest known 'wildcat' oil gusher blew near Qom, Iran, on 26 August 1956. The uncontrolled oil gushed to a height of 52 m (171 ft), at a rate of 120,000 barrels (19,000 m 3) per day. The gusher was closed after 90 days' work by Bagher Mostofi and Myron Kinley (USA). [19]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebox_(steam_engine)

    The firing pan is covered with firebrick and the firebox has a firebrick lining, usually up to the level of the firebox door, all the way around the firebox. The oil burner is a nozzle containing a slot for the oil to flow out onto a steam jet which atomizes the oil into a fine mist which ignites in the firebox.

  7. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    Oil well control is the management of the dangerous effects caused by the unexpected release of formation fluid, such as natural gas and/or crude oil, upon surface equipment of oil or gas drilling rigs and escaping into the atmosphere.

    The pan is still extremely hot, and splashing it with cold water puts it under stress, causing the temperature change to distribute unevenly and warp the metal. Give your pots and pans a few ...

  9. Pitting corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitting_corrosion

    The process of pit nucleation is initiated by the depassivation of the protective oxide layer isolating the metal substrate from the aggressive solution. The depassivation of the protective oxide layer is the less properly understood step in pitting corrosion and its very local and random appearance probably its most enigmatic characteristic.
