One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years' time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So, some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or ...
Oxygen sensors are a vital component for the proper functioning of vehicles, as they enable the engine to get the fuel-air mixture. Over time, oxygen sensors may become unresponsive or faulty and cause the “check engine” light to activate; unfortunately, these sensors cannot be repaired as ...
When an aerobatic plane flies upside down, how does the fuel get to the engine? Explore More Advertisement How Your Lungs Work By: Craig Freudenrich, Ph.D. The heart and lungs work together to make sure your body has the oxygen-rich blood it needs. Callista Images/Getty Images You br...
Oxygen sensor(s) - Monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust so the ECU can determine how rich or lean the fuel mixture is and make adjustments accordingly Throttle position sensor - Monitors the throttle valve position (which determines how much air goes into the engine) so the ECU can...
also affects the fuel injection system, so its proper function is necessary for the smooth running of your car. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor will cause the engine to burn a rich a/f mixture hurting your fuel economy in the process. Fortunately, sensors are pretty cheap and easy to replace...
If the oxygen content is low or the air is a “rich mixture”, the voltage generated by the sensor will be around 0.9V. Based on this potential, the ECU will adjust the opening time of the fuel injectors appropriately so that the intake air mixture has an air/gasoline ratio close to ...
Our desire to nurture someone. Our desire to see that our work and love produces an effect – a child who loves us back. What we often do is keep a picture in our minds of our child and how they will fulfill these needs and desires for us. What happens when that child rejects us?
You’ve likely heard the term “superfoods” tossed around quite a bit and have probably heard about all of the benefits offered by these nutrient-rich dietary additions. So what is considered a superfood exactly? Although there’s no set criteria as to what defines a superfood, these are...
EVs directly convert electricity into movement, whereas an internal combustion engine vehicle burns fuel to produce heat to create propulsion. This allows EVs to be 70% more efficient than their ICE counterparts. Secondly, the energy is recovered and returned to the battery when an EV brakes, ena...
longer be calculated which results in either too little or too much fuel injected into the combustion chambers. The engine runs too “lean” or too “rich”. This can cause the engine warning light to illuminate in the instrument cluster and the fault can be read out by a diagnostic device...
