Truck overloading has effects on not just the manoeuvrability of the vehicle, but also on its rate of wear and tear, maintenance, and the quality of the suspension system. The load capacity for commercial trucks may depend on the chassis, body, suspension system, axles, cabin, passenger, fuel, and the like.

  • Measuring Instruments
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

[A process that] consits of loading multiple products, one at a time, through one meter and control valve.

CONT

This method is commonly used for products that have similar density and viscosity, characteristics that enable them to mix well. The disadvantages of sequential blending biodiesel is that when products have dissimilar characteristics the blend may stratify in the fuel due to inadequate mixing or there is not enough room in the truck to get the required volume of each product.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Suction defuelling can be accomplished with a fuel truck defuelling pump through the pressure fuelling receptacle. Suction defuelling can also be accomplished by inserting a suction hose through the overwing fill ports, but this method is only recommended as a last resort. Aircraft system pumps and suction defuelling performed simultaneously through the pressure fuelling receptacle will provide the highest flow rates possible and should be used when time is critical.

Record 7 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

Normal fuelling is accomplished through dual fuel nozzle adapters located on the right wing leading edge spar at the fuelling stations. All fuelling operations, except fuel pump control, are accomplished at the fuelling station. Opening the station access door applies DC power to the fuelling system and removes the N3 inhibit to the centre tank fuel pumps. Fuel flows through the dual nozzles to pressurise a fuelling manifold. Fuelling valves control the flow of fuel from the fuelling manifold into each of the three switches on the fuelling panel. A fuel quantity may be preselected for each tank. The fuelling valves close automatically when the preselected quantity is reached or when the tank is full, whichever occurs first. A tank overfill system is provided to prevent fuel spillage. If any fuel is sensed in the surge tanks during fuelling, a signal is sent to close all fuelling valves. The aircraft is filled automatically by hydrant or tank truck pressure. All tanks may be fuelled at the same time. The main tanks may also be fuelled manually through over wing fill ports. There are no over wing fill ports for the centre tank.

DEF

The first automotive lab to feature a full-scale, moving-base driving simulator that tracks drivers’ eye movements while using onboard gadgets and trying to maneuver curves on simulated highways.

OBS

The VIRTTEX simulator is a large spherical chamber held 11 feet off the floor by six computer controlled hydraulic rams. The computer operator monitors the simulator as it moves up, down, and back and forth to simulate acceleration, braking, and turning maneuvers. Inside the chamber, bolted to the floor is a full size 2001 Taurus, with the drivetrain, fuel system, and airbags removed. Almost any car or truck that Ford makes can fit into the simulator, enhancing the realism of the testing.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance

CONT

Basic system operation and performance allow for the processing of contaminated JP-5 fuel that consists of any combination of particulates, water, and aviation fuel. Contaminated fuel is loaded into the process tank via a defueler truck used to collect the segregated JP-5 from squadron hazardous waste storage sites. The fuel is circulated at 15 gpm through the system until it is determined to be visually clean via a sampling port. A gravity drain valve allows for the discharge of wastewater stripped from the fuel during circulation. Depending on the level of particulate contamination, the fuel may be considered clean(less than 2mg/1 particulates, less than 5ppm free water) after one pass through the system or several. A sample of the fuel is then sent to the laboratory for further testing, especially with respect to the flash point. The system can only remove water and particulates.
