integral component that generates power and delivers it to the road surface, water, or air. It consists of engine, differentials, transmission, drive shafts, and the final drive. In a simple language, it is defined as “A train which comprises of gears and shaft for transmitting power from an engine.” Or “An assembly of gears and associated parts by which power is transmitted from an engine to a driving axle “ If we see in a broader sense, the power-train consists all of that components which is…
In the mid 1800’s the steam engine was one of the greatest feats of mechanical engineering that has contributed to modern technology. Before steam power, people relied on horse or man power to do grunt work. Also, factories were limited to certain locations that had water or wind power. The steam engine has made a huge impact on modern technology and was the catalyst for mass production in the United states. Steam engines were a marvelous piece of engineering during the industrial revolution…
The enlightenment spread across the world during the late 1600s up to the 1800s. During this movement, transportation and technology advanced, new economies were built, and methods of hunting and selling changed. This is from the variation of people that were coming into the new enlightened areas. These people were farmers, miners, hunters and trappers who had helped the new enlightened state emerge. In John Gasts’ American Progress, it shows a woman flying from east to west bringing the…
There are numerous types of car engines which can be categorized depending upon the ignition system, total number of cylinders, block design, camshaft location, strokes per cycle, cooling system and so on. Presently deployed ignition system are spark ignition (gasoline engine) and compression ignition (diesel engine) which use different types of fuel. The required voltage for ignition system is generated from a 12 volt battery (which are generally lead-acid type and a series connection of…
The Industrial Revolution took place in the 18th and 19th centuries, and was a period where most societies around the world became urban and industrialised. During this time, machines were created, making things a lot easier for workers in society. Population expanded, child labour occurred, communication increased around the world, and transport was created. Transport was one of the biggest change that occurred during the industrialisation of the world. Before the Industrial Revolution the…

charge of the company with full powers, so I can take a decision without anyone else taking a parallel initiative” (Luca di Montezemolo) Structure Division of Ferrari into three small departments: Future developments and special projects in the UK, Engine Department in Maranello and Scuderia Ferrari (SF) which is the place where the cars are built and the team managed. The small racing department would minimize bureaucracy. He revived the GTO Enzo Ferrari concept which he agreed was a…
Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engine” (First Draft) Abhijit Sonje Ji, C., and Ronney, P. D., 2002, “Modeling of Engine Cyclic Variations by a Thermodynamic Model,” SAE paper 2002-01-2736. Ji and Ronney (2002) developed a Kantor model showing that prior-cycle effects resulting from exhaust gas residuals are a significant factor in cyclic variability of combustion in internal combustion engines. Olsson, J. O., Tunestal, P., and Johansson, B., 2001, “Closed Loop Control of an HCCI Engine,” SAE…
is awaiting its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Specs The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 under hood will offer a 5.2-liter V8 engine which will be powered by a flat-plane crankshaft. This engine is likely to have will slightly larger displacement than the stock unit. With a V8 engine is expected to pass 8000 rpm, or can produce more than 500 horsepower and more than 440 lb-ft of torque. According to the…
The engine was a flat 6 5.5 liter modded from an aircraft to fit the car. The engine was placed in the back for extra torque and there was no driveshaft or transmission tunnel to intrude but it delivered 372 ft lbs in the rear,The car was rear wheel drive,which helped add extra torque. Most innovative…
