Talk:Manifold vacuum

message: I redesigned the entry, and "the basics" and created appropriate links regarding air pressure. 
As a gasoline engine expert, I don't agree with everything beyond "the basics". But, I didn't want to stomp on the work of other's, and there is value in all that discusson for whomever wants to read it.

message: "More vacuum is created in some situations. On deceleration or when descending a hill, the throttle will be closed and a low gear selected to control speed. The engine will be rotating fast because the road wheels and transmission are moving quickly, but the butterfly valve will be fully closed. The flow of air through the engine is strongly restricted by the throttle, producing a strong vacuum on the engine side of the butterfly valve which will tend to limit the speed of the engine. This phenomenon, known as compression braking, is often used in engine braking to prevent acceleration or even to slow down with minimal or no brake usage (as when descending a long or steep hill). Note that although "compression braking" and "engine braking" are sometimes used to describe the same thing, "compression braking" here refers to the phenomenon itself while "engine braking" refers to the driver's usage of the phenomenon. Compression braking can be greatly increased by opening the cylinders to the exhaust with a valve on downstroke while in overrun, which is often done on large trucks (see Jake brake)."
No. It is called compression braking for a reason. What is described here is braking due to vacuum (actually much by engine friction). This is how engine braking works in most cases. Unless the engine has a "Jake brake", it cannot brake using compression...any energy absorbed compressing the charge is returned to the crank immediately as the compressed air functions as a spring and forces the piston back down again. Compression braking requires a device that opens the exhaust valve at TDC, allowing the compressed air to escape before it returns its energy to the crankshaft, i.e. a Jake brake (read it!). These are used on diesels because they cannot brake by vacuum, lacking a throttle. The 3rd choice is an exhaust brake that closes the exhaust so the engine has to force the exhaust out...the opposite of vacuum braking. Vacuum braking uses intake stroke. Compression braking uses compression stroke. Exhaust braking uses exhaust stroke. Three unique ways to achieve engine braking. .45Colt 04:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've always referred to it as "engine braking".. it's a combination of increased resistance and decreased energy spent per rotation of the engine which of course is decided by the Air fuel ratio and hydraulic pressure as well as electronic controls .. 2600:100F:B006:F701:EA2C:3B3C:97C1:2E94 (talk) 12:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:U.S. Route 15

message: Is it me, or does the route description not flow right? I mean it starts off in SC, but the paragraph begins begins at the border of SC/NC and then goes south to the end of route 15. Then in the next paragraph it starts with the border of NC/VA and goes south towards the NC/SC border. I think within the paragraphs the direction needs to be switched. Start in SC with the beginning (or end, however you look at it) of route 15 and go north, paragraph by paragraph. If this suits everyone, I will start working of it in the morning.

You probably mean BiloHorodka. That's correct.

Talk:Chemical affinity

message: How does this concept relate to pharmacological affinity, i.e. The affinity of a chemical for a receptor. I would have thought it was the same but the maths seem completely different. Bilz0r 02:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The short answer is that when a molecule has a chemical attraction to a molecular surface, the movement is quantified by a negative Gibbs free energy and qualified by the word "affinity".  A more advanced analysis would use things such as "free energy maps" or model each step in the reaction process in terms of interactions, each being described by an energy of interaction.

replies: text: Normally, when splitting Interstate and U.S. Routes, we split based on states, as in we have state-detail pages as suggested above. Splitting a U.S. Route based on ADHS corridor designations is not the standard split. Also, the ADHS corridor names are likely not as well known to the traveling public as the US 119 designation is. Therefore, I feel that Corridor G should redirect to the US 119 article as that is the common name for the corridor, with US 119 further divided into subpages for the Kentucky and West Virginia segments (Pennsylvania already has a state-detail page). The ADHS list can mention the specific routing of Corridor G with a hatnote to the US 119 article. Dough4872 18:38, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

My guess would be that nearer the time, when the list of twenty 20 players has been prepared, then the 'team' link on the series will be pointed there instead.
