Chapter 39, Problem 1RQ

After draining gear oil from a transaxie, the technician notices that the oil has shiny, metallic particles in it. What does this indicate?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The condition it indicates if a shiny, metallic particle is draining oil from a transaxle.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

It indicates the condition of excessive wear.

Explanation of Solution

Proper lubrication is required for longer transmission/transaxle life. The lubrication gear oil should be checked and replaced after required specified intervals of time. The condition of the draining oil gives a lot of indication about the parts and components of the transmission/transaxle. Thus, while draining the gear oil if it has some golden or shiny metallic particles in it, this indicates extensive internal wear or damage in the parts of a transaxle.

14.14. A three-stage evaporator is fed with 1.25 kg/s of a liquor which is concentrated from 10 to 40 per cent solids by mass. The heat transfer coefficients may be taken as 3.1, 2.5 and 1.7 kW/m² K, respectively, in each effect. Calculate the steam flow at 170 kN/m² and the temperature distribution in the three effects, if: (a) the feed is at 294 K, and (b) the feed is at 355 K. Forward feed is used in each case and the values of U are the same for the two systems. The boiling point in the third effect is 325 K and the liquor has no boiling point rise. O
