Cv Generator Spring

AI Thread Summary

A CV spring is a type of spring used in mechanical systems, but it does not generate petrol or store it. Instead, it can store mechanical energy, which can be utilized in various applications, including powering a petrol generator. The size and specifications of the CV spring required for a four-hour operation depend on the generator's energy consumption and load. Generally, CV springs are effective energy stores, but their efficiency and suitability vary based on design and application. Understanding the mechanics of CV springs is crucial for determining their effectiveness in specific uses.

Hi
I have a small petrol generator.
How Large/Long/Heavy would a CV spring need to be, to run it for four hours.
Ideally the spring being narrow enough to be hidden in a house cavity wall (7or8")

More generally, how effective are CV springs as energy stores

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
