How can a thermostat fail?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain how a thermostat can fail.

Explanation of Solution

A thermostat can fail in the following four ways.

  • Stuck open.
  • Stuck closed.
  • Stuck partially open.
  • Skewed.

Stuck open:

A thermostat can fail when open or partially open because the normal temperature of the engine will be higher than the operating temperature.

Stuck closed:

The thermostat can fail when closed or almost closed because the engine will start to overheat.

Stuck partially open:

The thermostat can fail when partially open because the engine will start to warm up gradually indicating that the coolant temperature of the engine will not attain the desired temperature.

Skewed:

The thermostat can fail when skewed because the engine could overheat or function cooler than regular, or even perform both.

The thin-walled open cross section shown is transmitting torque 7. The angle of twist ₁ per unit length of each leg can be determined separately using the equation 01 = 3Ti GLIC 3 where G is the shear modulus, ₁ is the angle of twist per unit length, T is torque, and L is the length of the median line. In this case, i = 1, 2, 3, and T; represents the torque in leg i. Assuming that the angle of twist per unit length for each leg is the same, show that T= Lic³ and Tmaz = G01 Cmax Consider a steel section with Tallow = 12.40 kpsi. C1 2 mm L1 20 mm C2 3 mm L2 30 mm C3 2 mm L3 25 mm Determine the torque transmitted by each leg and the torque transmitted by the entire section. The torque transmitted by the first leg is | N-m. The torque transmitted by the second leg is N-m. The torque transmitted by the third leg is N-m. The torque transmitted by the entire section is N-m.
