Turbomolecular pumps have transformed from the early days of only laboratory use to highly reliable multi-stage turbines with compound rotors and magnetically levitated bearings. Today's pumps are robust, capable of pumping large quantities of gas continuously in a constant production environment....
Properly selecting the right size turbocharger for your application is critical in getting optimal results. If you select a turbo that’s too big for your application you will experience turbo lag. Inversely if the turbo is too small you risk not reaching your ho...
The flow of your H2O could become weak for a number of reasons. Here’s what you should do to improve your home's water pressure.
Hence, the size of the backing pump must be such that this throughput can be handled by the pump at an intakepressure(of the backing pump) that is equal to or preferably lower than the maximum permissible backing pressure of thediffusion pump; that is, 4 · 10-1mbar for the 6000 l...
Shift into Turbo mode (and plug in) Just like our laptops, the ROG Ally has a few Operating Modes that allow you to adjust the amount of power provided to the Ryzen Z1 series APU: Silent, Performance, and Turbo. The low-wattage Silent mode uses less power for better battery life with...
MegaSquirt works on a number of levels to inject the correct amount of fuel into your engine. Most tangible is the hardware. This consists of:CPU (U1, the 68HC908) and clock section (Y1, the 32768 Hz crystal), that perform computations, Serial communications section (most notably U6, the...
The increase in horsepower from a turbocharger depends on several factors, including the size of the turbo, the type of engine it's paired with, and how the turbo is tuned. For instance, if the base engine produces 200 horsepower, a turbocharger could potentially boost that figure to betwee...
4.4 million pounds to get 165,000 pounds in orbit is a pretty big difference! To be fair, the orbiter can also carry a 65,000-pound payload (up to 15 x 60 feet in size), but it is still a big difference. The fuel weighs almost 20 times more than the Orbiter [source: The Space...
turbopump are not the same (image courtesy of P3 Technologies)Assessing how parts change from their as-manufactured geometry to their operating geometry is a complex process. Pelfrey notes that without simulation, the design cycle of these parts would include a lot of iteration. “However, withi...
the size and efficiency of your turbo, and so on. We recommend a high pressure fuel pump, properly sized fuel injectors, adequate methods to ensure and control fuel pressure, and always having enough fuel to never have an instance or possibility to run lean (take into account overboost condit...
