An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...
NAPA Auto Parts was established in 1925. [30] Some NAPA Auto Parts stores are owned and operated by GPC, but most are independently owned and operated. [31] There were approximately 6,000 NAPA Auto Parts stores in 2020. [30] GPC acquired UAP Inc. of Canada in 1998 and the Australian car parts supplier Exego Group in 2013.
A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.
A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors.
NAPA also sponsors Ron Capps in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series; they have remained a sponsor since 2007. [8] The company has previously sponsored Michael Waltrip from 2001 to 2009 and Martin Truex Jr. from 2010 until 2013 when Truex and the Michael Waltrip Racing team were implicated in a race manipulation scandal at the 2013 Federated ...
Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
Carquest Corporation is an American automotive parts distribution network that was sold and currently owned and operated by Advance Auto Parts via independent retailers associated with the network as "Carquest Auto Parts".
Internal combustion engines operate through a sequence of strokes that admit and remove gases to and from the cylinder. These operations are repeated cyclically and an engine is said to be 2-stroke, 4-stroke or 6-stroke depending on the number of strokes it takes to complete a cycle. The most common type is 4-stroke, which has following cycles.
