Automotive Transmission: Components and Function

Classified in Geology

Written on in English with a size of 3.42 KB

The transmission's mission: It is a set of organs formed by different mechanisms: the clutch, gearbox, differential, reducer group, etc. Its mission is to transmit the engine's rotation to the wheels, adapting it to the needs of the vehicle's driving conditions.

Objectives:

  • Couple and uncouple the engine's rotation.
  • Reduce or increase the engine's torque output.
  • Transmit the output torque from the gearbox to the wheels through the transmission shafts, differentials, conical groups, and semi-shafts.

Resistances:

  • Rolling resistance: (Caused by the vehicle's weight on the wheels, the type of terrain, the dimensions of the vehicle, and the tire's displacement).
  • Air resistance: (Largely dependent on the vehicle's size, the speed of the vehicle, and the

Engine Cooling Systems: Air vs. Water - Pros & Cons

Classified in Technology

Written on in English with a size of 2.98 KB

Engine Cooling Systems: An Overview

The primary function of an engine cooling system is to maintain the engine within optimal temperature limits, preventing damage to components while maximizing combustion efficiency. Maintaining the correct operating temperature allows the engine to deliver peak performance. The system should enable the engine to reach its ideal temperature quickly and maintain it regardless of the ambient temperature. Insufficient temperature leads to poor fuel gasification and inadequate lubrication due to increased oil viscosity. Excessive temperature can stress cylinders, increase the risk of pre-ignition, and cause oil thinning and rapid degradation, potentially leading to deformation or galling.

  • Inverse Resolution: Converts IP addresses to hostnames.
  • Mail Routing: Determines the mail server for a given domain.

Domain Name Space

The domain name space is a distributed database stored across multiple machines. It stores the correspondence between domain names and IP addresses in a hierarchical structure.

TLDs (Top Level Domains)

Top Level Domains are the first level of the DNS organization, forming an inverted tree structure. They store the descendants of the root DNS domain. Examples include generic TLDs (.com,... Continue reading "Understanding DNS: Domain Name System Explained" »

What is ESD?

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the accumulation of electric charge on a surface. For a person to feel an ESD, it's necessary to accumulate 3000V of static electricity.

How to Prevent ESD

  • Save all components in static-safe bags.
  • Use grounded pads.
  • Use grounded floor mats.
  • Use an antistatic wrist strap when working with computers.

Types of Power Changes

  • Total Blackout: Complete power outage.
  • Partial Blackout: A reduction in voltage.
  • Noise: Interference on the power line.
  • Peak Voltage: A sudden, sharp increase in voltage.
  • Overvoltage: A prolonged increase in voltage.
