    Basics Load
AI Thread Summary
Full load in engine performance refers to the maximum power or torque an engine can produce safely without causing damage. It is determined during engine testing using a dynamometer, which applies load through a water brake system. As the engine warms up and RPM increases, water is introduced to increase load until the engine reaches its limit. At full load, the engine operates under steady-state conditions, typically at wide open throttle for gasoline engines or full fuel rack position for diesel engines. Understanding full load is crucial for accurate engine performance testing and optimization.

i'm reading about full load but still can't get what it's.care to explain a bit everyone ??:shy:
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I have no idea what 'full load' is supposed to mean, you will have to provide more context.
 
In regards to what topic? Your question can not be answered in its current form.
 
sorry...i'm reading for engine full load.

how to conduct full load when performing engine testing by using dyno? really can't understand it ...:frown:
 
slang used in the dyno room..a dynamometer is a water brake device with load sensors attached to the brake housing. the engine is started and permitted to warm to operating temperature. water is introduced to the water break as the engine RPM is increased. This is done with various percentage of loading.. ( more water to actuate the water brakes stopping mechanism)
there is a limit to the amount of braking the engine will tolerate until the engine stops. Full load is the maximum usable horsepower or torque the engine can safely " pull" without damage.

At a given speed, "full load" is the power developed under steady state conditions at wide open throttle (for a spark ignition engine) or full fuel rack position (for a diesel).
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
