Eventually, by the end of December, after further modifications to her fuel system, and the repalcement of a fuel pump, the fuel starvation problem was fixed, and Campbell awaited better weather to mount an attempt.

He avoided a large crash at the first corner and was running third towards the end of the race when the fuel pump mount failed.

Another feature specifically intended to help out in cold conditions was a manual auxiliary fuel pump.

* the right portion of the face is used to measure fuel pump pressure and is calibrated in fractions of 1 kgf / cm² on its inner scale and pounds per square inch on its outer scale.

In hot weather, excessive volatility results in what is known as " vapor lock ", where combustion fails to occur, because the liquid fuel has changed to a gaseous state in the fuel lines, rendering the fuel pump ineffective and starving the engine of fuel.

It is located in the fuel tank so the fuel may also cool the high-pressure pump.

The low density of hydrogen further affects the design of the rest of the vehicle — pumps and pipework need to be much larger in order to pump the fuel to the engine.

At the pump, Tom accidentally spills fuel, setting the truck ablaze.

Because the car lacked a fuel pump, the fuel tank was placed high up in the engine compartment so that fuel could be fed to the carburetor by gravity ; a trade-off of this design is an increased fire risk in front-end accidents.

In mid-1935 Wernher von Braun initiated a fuel pump project at the southwest German firm Klein, Schanzlin & Becker that was experienced in building large fire-fighting pumps .< ref name = Neufeld >

The lung ( the pump ) must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds ( this air pressure is the fuel of the voice ).

The accelerator pump is also used to prime the engine with fuel prior to a cold start.

This reservoir is constantly replenished with fuel supplied by a fuel pump.

The increased piston area permits an increase in the total valve area, allowing more air and fuel to be drawn into the engine, and the shorter stroke permits higher revs at the same piston speed, allowing the engine to pump still more air and fuel with the potential to produce more power, but with more fuel consumption too.

The impact of technological factors is also illustrated by the history of the high-energy fuel program.

The Abernathy furnace consumed fuel like a giant ravenous maw that had to be appeased by hurling tons of coal into its evil red depths, and no matter how much coal they put in the house remained cold.

Most americium is produced by bombarding uranium or plutonium with neutrons in nuclear reactors – one tonne of spent nuclear fuel contains about 100 grams of americium.

Several unusual applications, such as a nuclear battery or fuel for space ships with nuclear propulsion, have been proposed for the isotope < sup > 242m </ sup > Am, but they are as yet hindered by the scarcity and high price of this nuclear isomer.

Pytheas says that the Gutones, a people of Germany, inhabit the shores of an estuary of the Ocean called Mentonomon, their territory extending a distance of six thousand stadia ; that, at one day's sail from this territory, is the Isle of Abalus, upon the shores of which, amber is thrown up by the waves in spring, it being an excretion of the sea in a concrete form ; as, also, that the inhabitants use this amber by way of fuel, and sell it to their neighbors, the Teutones.

From the start of the war, Massoud's mujahideen proved to be a thorn in the side for the occupying Soviet forces by ambushing Soviet and Afghan communist convoys travelling through the Salang Pass, resulting in fuel shortages in Kabul .< ref name =" Iyer ">

They increase a building's autonomy by decreasing the heat or fuel used to heat water.

A single MiG-17F Fresco that was also operated by the FABF did see combat service in the Agacher Strip War in 1985-86, but proved expensive to operate in terms of fuel, maintenance, and pilot training requirements.

Recently there has been growing interest in hybrid electric buses, fuel cell buses, electric buses as well as ones powered by compressed natural gas or bio-diesel.

Currently there is interest in hybrid electric buses, fuel cell buses, electric buses and ones powered by compressed natural gas or bio-diesel.

Canal barges, towed by draft animals on a waterway adjacent towpath were of fundamental importance in the early industrial revolution, whose major early engineering projects were efforts to build viaducts, aqueducts and especially canal to fuel and feed the raw materials to the nascent factories being born in the early industrial takeoff, and take their goods to the ports and cities for distribution.

Rising demand for biofuels is expected to be good news for the biotechnology sector, with the Department of Energy estimating ethanol usage could reduce U. S. petroleum-derived fuel consumption by up to 30 % by 2030.

In the middle the brick workers create a firing zone by dropping fuel ( coal, wood, oil, debris, and so on.

The disappearance is attributed by Navy investigators to navigational error leading to the aircraft running out of fuel.

Increasing the amount of fuel gas flow through the tube by opening the needle valve will increase the size of the flame.

Combustion () or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species.

Smoldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion, sustained by the heat evolved when oxygen directly attacks the surface of a condensed-phase fuel.

Combustion of hydrocarbons is thought to be initiated by hydrogen atom abstraction ( not proton abstraction ) from the fuel to oxygen, to give a hydroperoxide radical ( HOO ).

This problem was solved by re-designing the fuel injector.

Most curium is produced by bombarding uranium or plutonium with neutrons in nuclear reactors – one tonne of spent nuclear fuel contains about 20 grams of curium.

In addition, other assaults, robbery, tiger kidnapping, extortion, fuel laundering and smuggling were undertaken by the group.

Specifically, to minimize the cutting down of trees for fuel, kerosene is being subsidized, and efforts are being made to replace the loss of the forest cover caused by ylang-ylang distillation for perfume.

The expected increase of fuel efficiency of the engine ( caused by the higher temperature, as shown by Carnot's theorem ) could not be verified experimentally ; it was found that the heat transfer on the hot ceramic cylinder walls is higher than the transfer to a cooler metal wall.

Commercially, the dominant alkyne is acetylene itself, which is used as a fuel and a precursor to other compounds, e. g., acrylates.

The Department of Energy claims that coal, itself, might even be a fuel option in the future, assuming the system can be made resistant to impurities such as sulfur and particulates that result from converting coal into hydrogen.

Sometimes economy also plays a role in not only the cost of manufacturing the engine itself, but also manufacturing and distributing the fuel.

Breeder reactors are a specialized form of research reactor, with the caveat that the sample being irradiated is usually the fuel itself, a mixture of < sup > 238 </ sup > U and < sup > 235 </ sup > U.

An airlock would be attached to the hydrogen tank, in the area designed to hold the LEM, and a minimum amount of equipment would be installed in the tank itself in order to avoid taking up too much fuel volume.

" In the Koran itself, in Sura ( Chapter ) 85, " The Celestial Signs ", a passage reads: "... cursed were the contrivers of the pit, of fire supplied with the fuel ... and they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God.

The compact size of the city lends itself readily to smaller, fuel efficient alternatives to full size passenger cars, such as scooters, as areas with signicantly steep hills, such as one would find in San Francisco, are very few.

The race itself saw Sommer and Nuvolari take a two lap lead before their fuel tank developed a hole, which was plugged by chewing gum whilst in the pits.

Dramatically greater improvements are theoretically possible by mixing the nuclear fuel into the working fluid, and allowing the reaction to take place in the liquid mixture itself.

The solid core NTR fuel itself is conventionally a small percentage of U-235 buried well inside an extremely strong carbon or carbide mixture.

Since that fuel must itself be accelerated, this results in an approximately exponential increase in mass as a function of velocity change at non-relativistic speeds, asymptotically tending to infinity as it approaches the speed of light.

Arguments have been raised, however, that the fall of the inflation rate may be less from control of the money supply and more to do with the unemployment level's effect on demand ; some also claim the use of credit to fuel economic expansion is itself an anti-monetarist tool, as it can be argued that an increase in money supply alone constitutes inflation.

Meanwhile, the orbiter had suffered from a partial loss of fuel and did not have enough to put itself into a planned 25 hour orbit.

This had the advantage of never " flooding " the engine, as any liquid fuel droplets would fall out of the carburetor instead of into the intake manifold ; it also lent itself to use of an oil bath air cleaner, where a pool of oil below a mesh element below the carburetor is sucked up into the mesh and the air is drawn through the oil-covered mesh ; this was an effective system in a time when paper air filters did not exist.

The valve itself becomes worn on its sides by its motion in its " seat " and will eventually try to close at an angle, and thus fails to shut off the fuel completely ; again, this will cause excessive fuel flow and poor engine operation.

Containerization increases the fuel costs and reduces the capacity of the transport as the container itself, in addition to its contents, must be transported ; stackable standardized containers are usually heavier than packaging with less stringent requirements.

These structures can weigh a lot, offsetting the light weight of the fuel itself to some degree, and also result in higher drag while in the atmosphere.

The bombastium itself must be kept frozen in order for it to be usable as fuel ( a small freezer is equipped on board the Shortcut for this purpose ).

In the so-called Type Ia supernovae, gases falling onto a white dwarf raise its mass until it nears a critical level, the Chandrasekhar limit, resulting in an explosion ; in Type Ib / c and Type II supernovae, the progenitor star is a massive star which runs out of fuel to power its nuclear fusion reactions and collapses in on itself, reaching such phenomenal temperatures that it explodes.

Since smoke-producing constituents are driven off during the coking of coal, coke forms a desirable fuel for stoves and furnaces in which conditions are not suitable for the complete burning of bituminous coal itself.

Pike County has trademarked itself as: America's Energy Capital ", because of its vast fossil fuel ( coal and natural gas ) reserves.

The soliciting of protected areas may require regulation to the level of meeting demands for food, feed, livestock and fuel, and the legal enforcement of not only the protected area itself but also ' buffer zones ' surrounding it, which may help to resist destabilisation.

The orbiter suffered from a partial loss of fuel and did not have enough to put itself into a planned 25 hour orbit.

Throughout the 1850s, settlers began colonizing the area surrounding the creek due to its thick woods which provided timber for building and fuel, wild game, nuts, berries, and other native plants for eating, and water from the creek itself.
