the branch of physics that deals with the study of motion and the behavior of physical systems under the action of forces
the part of a vehicle that uses a particular fuel to make the vehicle move
a system of gears that transmits power from the engine to the wheels
the system that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to change speeds
a solid, round part that moves back and forth inside a hollow tube in an engine or machine, helping to push or pull gases or liquids, or to turn pressure into movement
a chamber in an engine in which a piston moves
a metal bar in an engine that enables movement and power to be transmitted from one part to another
a shaft that converts the up and down motion of the pistons into rotational motion
a mechanical component that transmits rotational power from the engine to the wheels or other driven components of a vehicle or machine
a set of mechanical parts or devices that transmit and control power or motion in a machine or vehicle
a mechanical device that controls or regulates the flow of fluids, such as liquids, gases, or slurries, by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways within a pipe or system
a mechanical device that compresses gases for storage or power
a closed vessel in which water is heated to create steam or hot water, used for heating buildings, producing electricity, or powering machines
a branch of science and engineering that deals with the mechanical properties of liquids, particularly their behavior in confined spaces and under pressure
a branch of engineering and physics that deals with the mechanical properties of gases, especially air, and the application of pressurized air to produce motion or mechanical effects
force applied to a material that produces strain or deformation
the process of applying a slippery substance to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces
a machine or engine that produces power from the pressure of a liquid or gas on a turning wheel
a mechanical device or machine that is used to move fluids or gases from one place to another by creating a flow or pressure
machines, especially large ones, considered collectively
a device that allows movement between mechanical parts of a machine or converts backward and forward motion into circular movement
a part made for a machine or vehicle that can be used to replace an old or broken part
