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).
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
