Answer:

Fixing a faulty spark-plug in a <em>typical gasoline car engine</em>.

Explanation:

<h3>The faulty equipment/machine</h3>

The equipment/machine was a <em>gasoline car engine</em>. After switching it on, I heard a not common pulsing sound at the end of the exhaust pipe of the car. When running the car, there was also a <em>loss in power</em> of the engine when trying to accelerate it.

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>

I started with a <em>working hypothesis</em> addressing a fault in any of the spark-plugs installed, since the problem, at first sight, seemed any related to an ignition or fuel distribution failure. Since spark-plugs are relatively easy components to remove and check, then I troubleshoot them as a first step.

Firstly, I checked the condition for any of the spark-plugs, extracting them with a <em>spark plug socket</em> and a <em>torque wrench</em>, to later perform a <em>careful visual inspection</em>, looking for any out-of-normal condition in any of the four of them installed in my car. I checked three of them, visualizing no wear, combustion deposits, and/or electrodes inappropriate gauge distance.

For the last one, I needed an <em>anti-seized lubricant</em> to extract it with caution to not break it or cause any damage to the component. After extraction and the visual inspection, I immediately noticed <em>the presence of combustion deposits between the electrodes of the spark-plug</em>.

<h3>Fixing the problem</h3>

Since one way of cleaning a spark-plug is using a wire brush, I started to carefully remove the deposits until no remaining was left after the cleaning process. I also checked for wear conditions and gauging distance of the electrodes, which resulted in good enough.

An explanation for this is that in the electrodes gap were accumulated some deposits coming from combustion, resulting in a <em>not working cylinder</em>, thus the noise and loss of power in the engine.

I reinstalled the spark-plug and the fault dissipated after accelerating the engine <em>in situ</em>.

<h3>The outcome</h3>

The engine is working appropriately with no pulsing sound and the end of the exhaust pipe of the car and no power loss while accelerating it.

The person that is correct based on the 2 statements from Tech A and Tech B is; Tech B

A mass flow sensor is defined as a sensor that is used to measure the mass flow rate of air entering a fuel-injected internal combustion engine and then sends a voltage that represents the airflow to the electronic control circuit.

However, for Tech A is incorrect and so the correct answer is that Tech B is right because his statement corresponds with the definition of mass flow sensor.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Prevent electrical shock

Grounding is a non current carrying conductor mainly used to guard against hazards due to leakage in electric circuits

Explanation:

The grounding refers to the connection of an electrical equipment exposed metallic parts to the ground to serve as a source of current flow in the event of an insulation failure will cause the fuses to trip thereby isolating or removing electric power from the device

Grounding also prevents the accumulation of static electricity which can be a source of fire in inflammable areas.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

a.)

US Sieve no.                         % finer (C₅ )

4                                                  100

10                                                95.61

20                                               82.98

40                                               61.50

60                                               42.08

100                                              20.19

200                                              6.3

Pan                                               0

b.) D10 = 0.12, D30 = 0.22, and D60 = 0.4

c.) Cu = 3.33

d.) Cc = 1

Explanation:

As given ,

US Sieve no.             Mass of soil retained (C₂ )

4                                            0

10                                          18.5

20                                         53.2

40                                         90.5

60                                         81.8

100                                        92.2

200                                       58.5

Pan                                        26.5

Now,

Total weight of the soil = w = 0 + 18.5 + 53.2 + 90.5 + 81.8 + 92.2 + 58.5 + 26.5 = 421.2 g

⇒ w = 421.2 g

As we know that ,

% Retained = C₃ = C₂×\frac{100}{w}

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               % retained (C₃ )               Cummulative % retained (C₄)

4                                            0                                           0

10                                          4.39                                      4.39

20                                         12.63                                     17.02

40                                         21.48                                     38.50

60                                         19.42                                     57.92

100                                        21.89                                     79.81

200                                       13.89                                     93.70

Pan                                        6.30                                      100

Now,

% finer = C₅ = 100 - C₄

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               Cummulative % retained (C₄)          % finer (C₅ )

4                                                     0                                          100

10                                                  4.39                                      95.61

20                                                 17.02                                     82.98

40                                                 38.50                                    61.50

60                                                 57.92                                    42.08

100                                                79.81                                     20.19

200                                                93.70                                   6.3

Pan                                                 100                                        0

The grain-size distribution is :

b.)

From the diagram , we can see that

D10 = 0.12

D30 = 0.22

D60 = 0.12

c.)

Uniformity Coefficient = Cu = \frac{D60}{D10}

⇒ Cu = \frac{0.4}{0.12} = 3.33

d.)

Coefficient of Graduation = Cc = \frac{D30^{2}}{D10 . D60}

⇒ Cc = \frac{0.22^{2}}{(0.4) . (0.12)} = 1
