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.

Consider a large 23-cm-thick stainless steel plate (k = 15.1 W/m-K) in which heat is generated uniformly at a rate of 5 x 105 W/m³. Both sides of the plate are exposed to an environment at 30°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 60 W/m²K. The highest temperature will occur at surfaces of plate while the lowest temperature will occur at the midplane. Yes or No Yes No
