  2. Engine pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_pressure_ratio

    The engine pressure ratio (EPR) is the total pressure ratio across a jet engine, measured as the ratio of the total pressure at the exit of the propelling nozzle divided by the total pressure at the entry to the compressor. [1] Jet engines use either EPR or compressor/fan RPM as an indicator of thrust. [2]

  3. Overall pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio

    Engine pressure ratio (EPR) differs from OPR in that OPR compares the intake pressure to the pressure of the air as it exits the compressor, and is always greater than 1 (often very much so), whereas EPR compares the intake pressure to the pressure at the engine's tailpipe (i.e., after the air has been used for combustion and given up energy to ...

  4. Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsby–Akroyd_oil_engine

    1893 Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine at the museum of Lincolnshire life, Lincoln, England 14 hp Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine at the Great Dorset Steam Fair in 2008. The Hornsby–Akroyd oil engine, named after its inventor Herbert Akroyd Stuart and the manufacturer Richard Hornsby & Sons, was the first successful design of an internal combustion engine using heavy oil as a fuel.

  5. Oil record book - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_record_book

    In every entry the chief engineer must record tank number, location, type of oil, description of operation, and quantity. For every operation a combined numerical and letter coding is applied. MEPC.187(59) describes the codes applicable as from 1 January 2011.

  6. Oil field engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_field_engine

    A one-ended steel pipe mounted at an angle off the end of the exhaust pipe which gave the exhaust of the engine a unique tone and pitch; used to discern engines from a distance. Half-Breed: An oil field engine converted from a steam engine; may also refer to a purely internal combustion engine built with new-cast, repurposed steam engine parts.

  8. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.

  9. Automotive oil recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_oil_recycling

    Automotive oil recycling involves the recycling of used oils and the creation of new products from the recycled oils, and includes the recycling of motor oil and hydraulic oil. Oil recycling also benefits the environment: [1] increased opportunities for consumers to recycle oil lessens the likelihood of used oil being dumped on lands and in ...
