Every conceivable problem that can happen with an engine has perhaps happened or will happen with the Duramax. The main problem was the aluminum block with the aluminum cylinder heads. Now a day’s, cars have blocks made from aluminum, and so are the heads, but they’re mixed with a stronger metal, or just in general made better. Duramax builds everything unwell. The aluminum heads on the Duramax went through head gaskets like no other. A head gasket goes around the cylinders and seals the gasses in the cylinders to ensure greatest compression. When a head gasket blows, smoke pours out of every orifice of the motor, resulting in a six-plus hour job to fix. Sometimes, one can crack and leak slowly for years, until one-day anti-freeze mixes with your oil. When this happens your car’s engine seizes and will never run again. I put a head gasket in a 6.6 Duramax and it took me about 7 hours because the engine was covered in mud. The funny part about that, was when the guy that he had his truck towed to dealer and sold that day because he was mad. Every time I have worked on a Duramax, which is quite a few times, I have stripped at least one bolt. The engines are made from cheap aluminum. I had a friend that drove up from Atlanta and wanted to hit some trails. We drove through this…
year, and that keeps our country’s infrastructure stable and secure.” (A Day). This quote shows us how important diesels and diesel mechanics are. Diesel engines are used in almost all of America’s transporting semis. They are very important to keep goods moving (Walke). The diesel engine is unique, it is nothing like a gasoline engine. One of its unique characteristics are the way it ignites the fuel. A gas engine ignites its fuel with a spark, a diesel engine ignites fuel through…
broadened. More configurations will prove the feasibility of this design beyond the double constraint system suggested in Chapter 5, allowing for additional flexibility. Last, the testing results are presented and discussed. This concept serves to be the final solution for the initial design problem and motivation of this paper, the flexible compressions column. It meets all design criteria, and was successfully implemented into the final warrior web design. A test setup was designed and…
two-point loading as per IS after 28 days curing. Fiber fraction is varied as 0%, 1.5% and 3%. The shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d ratio) for beams is kept as 0.60 for case-I and 0.74 for case-II. The cube compressive strength is estimated. The experimental results are compared with theoretical results obtained from empirical equations and design codes. Also the experimental results are compared with the equations put forth by the other researchers…
and tested to suggest the optimal binder composition to obtainhigh compressive strength paste and mortar with M-S-H binder system. The following concluding remarks have been found from the optimization process: The binary M-S-H binder system composed of MgO and silica fume containing very high microfine content requires extremely high water content. The use of suitable superplasticizer is critical to reduce water demand in which the optimal dosage of Viscocrete-5-555 (a polycarboxylate SP) is…
High SF content binder might contain unreacted silica fume particles in low water content mixtures, results in poor particle packing and reduces strength. As testing both binary and ternary systems, the optimal binder composition for strength was observed with mixture of 60/40 MgO/SF ratio instead of 40/60 MgO/SF ratio as required by stoichiometry for chemical reactions to form M-S-H gel. The optimal binder composition, therefore, is dependent not only on the MgO/SiO2 ratio for maximum formation…
Part 1 What is data compression? Data compression is where a file is made smaller by shortening code where it is similar. This is helpful when transmitting files over the net, or in general just saving space of a SSD or Normal Hard drive. Data compression comes in two forms: Lossless Compression: Lossless compression is where similar parts of a file, are compressed by their similarities, however, the frequency is recorded and can be uncompressed without losing any extra data. This is usually…
another field of study. You will observe other classes of other majors and you will take notes on certain things that caught your interest and that can influence you in working toward a different career that is not related to your major. After years in years college, you might be in a career that you will never expect in being. Most students who studied to be a lawyer would probably change into a teacher in the long run. In this research you can view it in two different proposal ways, either way…
staff to patient ratios, or allow the hospital to make decisions about staffing levels, even if it means fewer staff working longer hours? This is a question that affects millions of hospitals and also effects protocols in hospitals all over the world. I rarely visit the hospital, but if I go to the hospital and it’s a very serious case will I be treated quickly enough? Registered nurses have long recognized and continue to point out that staffing issues are an ongoing problem. It…
Genogroup B in the late 1990s found to have sudden increases of genetic diversity which correspond to the time when the major HFMD outbreaks were happened in Asia. The observed dynamics of the plot are mostly corresponded with the recorded global surveillance data of EV71 cases over the past 4 decades. Similar results were obtained when using the VP1 gene from genogroup C. This implies that the elevation in genetic diversity is correlated with EV71 epidemics. Natural selection and adaptation in…
