A dry-sump system is a method to manage the lubricating motor oil in four-stroke and large two-stroke piston driven internal combustion engines. The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil pan) below the engine and a single pump.
Engine. The bike is characterized by having a 249 cc in-line four-cylinder engine, therefore an engine with a very small volume but with a multi-cylinder fractionation.The engine is mounted in front of the gear and is powered by a multipoint indirect electronic injection system with DOHC distribution and 16 valves, four for each cylinder; delivers about 50 HP and can reach 17,000 rpm.
In soil science, agriculture and gardening, hardpan or soil pan is a dense layer of soil, usually found below the uppermost topsoil layer. [1] There are different types of hardpan, all sharing the general characteristic of being a distinct soil layer that is largely impervious to water. Some hardpans are formed by deposits in the soil that fuse ...
Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags (formerly known as Purdue Improved Cow-pea Storage bags) [1] are bags developed by scientists at Purdue University [2] to store grain and seeds. They use hermetic storage technology to reduce loss of post-harvest cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata ) due to bruchid infestations in West and Central Africa .
The United States loses almost 3 tons of topsoil per acre per year. [16] 1 inch (2.5 cm) of topsoil can take between 500 [17] and 1,000 years [18] to form naturally, making the rate of topsoil erosion a serious ecological concern. Based on 2014 trends, the world has about 60 years of topsoil left.
