    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).
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
