  2. Float chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_chamber

    Carburetors are provided with a float chamber to provide a constant hydrostatic head of fuel above the carburettor's metering jets, thus a constant pressure. The float chamber itself does not vary the pressure according to demand, but it does vary the supply flowrate with demand, to keep this pressure constant.

  3. Carbohydrate loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_loading

    A new carbo-loading regimen developed by scientists at the University of Western Australia calls for a normal diet with light training until the day before the race. On the day before the race, the athlete performs a very short, extremely high-intensity workout (such as a few minutes of sprinting) then consumes 12 g of carbohydrate per kilogram of lean mass over the next 24 hours.

  4. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    A properly designed crankcase breather will also be designed in a manner that promotes the scavenging effect, or the creation of suction within the crankcase breather to further aid in the removal of blow-by gases. It is this effect that keeps the crankcase at slightly negative pressure when a properly functioning PCV system is in place. [9]

  5. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.

  6. Choke valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_valve

    Most choke valves in engines are butterfly valves mounted upstream of the carburetor jet to produce a higher partial vacuum, which increases the fuel draw. [ 1 ] In heavy industrial or fluid engineering contexts, including oil and gas production, a choke valve or choke is a particular design of valve with a solid cylinder placed inside another ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_engine

    Some other manufacturers' tractors, such as Thrifty Tractor (starting in 1930, and listed in the Sears spring and fall catalogs from 1932 to 1941 [51]), were sold by Sears, Montgomery Ward, and others as kits, without the engine – though designed to use the Ford Model A engine, which buyers were expected to find on their own. Some even ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M915_(truck)

    The M915 and follow on M915A1 were a Crane Carrier Company design based on CCC's Centaur commercial tractor, built under contract by AM General between 1978 and 1982. The 1990 -A2 upgrade was a completely different truck: a Freightliner Trucks design with a different engine and transmission, hood and cab. Older models were upgraded to -A4 ...
