What types of coolant are used in vehicles?

Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

Write the types of coolants used in vehicles.

Explanation of Solution

Coolant:

Coolant is used to transfer heat from the engine to the radiator in the cooling system. It is also used to prevent corrosion or rusting of the engine and the cooling systems. It mainly prevents freezing during cold seasons.

Coolant is referred as a combination of water and antifreeze. Water has the ability to absorb more heat per gallon when compared to other liquid coolant. Most coolants are provided with corrosion and rust inhibitors to prevent metals in the cooling systems and engine.

The types of coolants that are used in vehicles are as follows:

  • Organic acid technology (OAT).
  • Inorganic acid technology (IAT).
  • Hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT).
  • Phosphate hybrid organic acid technology (PHOAT).

6.76 A wind turbine is operating in a 12 m/s wind that has a den- sity of 1.2 kg/m³. The diameter of the turbine silhouette is 4 m. The constant-pressure (atmospheric) streamline has a diameter of 3 m upstream of the windmill and 4.5 m downstream. Assume that the velocity distributions are uniform and the air is incom- pressible. Determine the force on the wind turbine. m P = Patm 4 Vz 4m 4 m Fx. Problem 6.76
For the position shown in the figure the spring is unstretched. The spring constant k, is designed such that after the system is released from rest, the speed of the mass is zero just as the 0.6 slug mass touches the floor. Find the spring constant, k and the maximum speed of block A and the location (distance above floor) where this occurs.

If the 50-kg load A is hoisted by motor M so that the load has a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s, determine the power input to the motor, which operates at an efficiency € = 0.8. 1.5 m/s 2 7. The sports car has a mass of 2.3 Mg, and while it is traveling at 28 m/s the driver causes it to accelerate at 5m/s². If the drag resistance on the car due to the wind is FD= 0.3v²N, where v is the velocity in m/s, determine the power supplied to the engine at this instant. The engine has a running efficiency of P = 0.68. 8. If the jet on the dragster supplies a constant thrust of T-20 kN, determine the power generated by the jet as a function of time. Neglect drag and rolling resistance, and the loss of fuel. The dragster has a mass of 1…
