The higher the octane rating, the slower the fuel burns. High-performance engines typically have higher compression ratios (and hence longer piston strokes) which requires higher octane (slow burning)...

Frictional Force
What is the difference between tractive force and frictional force? Which one drives the vehicle? What are the directions of the forces with respect to the wheel?

Yes you are right. But as you know that traction force is applied by the car wheels (tyres) against the ground. As the wheel is moving forward, the traction force is in the forward direction an...

Thanks for your reply, but I have a small doubt.Now consider a drive wheel rotating in a dry surface and other one on a icy surface.Slip do not occur in the first one because traction force is les...

When Tyres are parked for extended periods, tires dry out, discolor and eventually crack and split. The major factor degrading tires and other synthetic and rubber products is ozone, an odorless gas which is part of the air we breath. When combined with ultraviolet light (the invisible part of sunlight) a reaction occurs that attacks the tire polymer. To protect against ozone and UV damage, a stabilizer molecule called a “competitive absorber” is blended with the tire polymer. Competitive absorbers work by capturing and absorbing UV radiation and converting it to heat which is dissipated harmlessly. All tire manufacturers use the same competitive absorber, carbon black. This is why all tires are black

Carnot Engine Efficiency
What is maximum efficiency of Carnot Engine?

bhargavmech- Member Since Jul-2009 | Aug 1st, 2009
The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors:
1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH)
2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC)
And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.sagar jain

In carnot engine, working fluid is ideal gas. The only possiblity that the efficiency of carnot engine to be 100% is when the temperature of reservoir comes to absolute zero.

There is not any even a single cycle having efficiency higher than the carnot cycle efficiency it means carnot engine having 100% efficiency.

DTS-Fi stands for "Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection", a ‘Bajaj Patented Technology’. In fuel injection, the conventional carburettor has been replaced by injector which injects fuel in to the engine in a spray form based on the instructions of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which is a part of the Engine Management System EMS. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is microprocessor based and is the brain of the fuel injection system. It processes information sent by various sensors and instantly determines optimum fuelling and spark timing for various engine-operating conditions. The ECU contains detailed information of the engine's characteristics from which it picks the necessary data for commanding both fuelling & spark timing.
The main advantages of Fuel Injection are: a. Increased power output for same cc. b. Better low-end torque. c. Lower fuel delivery & optimisation of spark timing. d. Improved cold start, quick warm-up and excellent response to sudden acceleration. e. Lower emission levels. f. Self-detection and communication of fuel system malfunctioning if any.
