Not necessarily. An excess of air causes the fuel/air mixture to become lean, and it doesn't have a positive impact on efficiency.

If you have an electrical Hydraulic unit driven by electrical motor of MAX 40 GPM what can you doadd to increase the flow rate of the electrical pump without changing it?

You can increase the flow rate of a positive displacement pump (like a gear pump) by increasing the input RPM. If it is a D.C. motor, increasing the voltage would make it run faster. An A.C. motor is a little trickier. Certain A.C. motors can be sped up by using a Variable Frequency Drive, others would require a set of pulleys and a belt between the pump and motor which could be replaced with varying sizes to alter the RPM. Keep in mind that the load on the motor is a calculation of the flow rate and the pressure so if you increase the flow without decreasing the pressure the motor will have to do more work, causing more heat and wear. The motor may be damaged or destroyed by the extra load, especially if it's already working at it's design limit. Also, if you are trying to increase the flow any significant amount, the size of the pipe or hose connections on the pump may be a limiting factor. Trying to force too much flow through a pipe that is too small just won't work. Once the flow has reached the 'critical velocity' (which depends on the pipe size and the fluid being pumped), trying to increase the flow just makes more noise and generates heat, but the flow doesn't increase.


What are a few tips on increasing one's business cash flow?

There are many tips to know on increasing one's business cash flow. One can increase their business cash flow by utilizing advertising and developing good employee relations.


Do increase in investments decrease cash flow or decrease cash flow?

Increasing investments decreases cash flow because money must be spent on said investments.


Would increasing the diameter of only the accessible part of a heating pipe increase the overall flow through that branch of the system or will it limited to the narrowest non accessible bit?

Flow will only be what comes through at smallest point. Volume will increase, but not flow.


Does the increase in accounts receivable increase cash flow?

No, if your accounts receivable is increasing then you are not collecting cash in from your debtors as quick as you are raising invoices to them therefore your cash flow is decreasing due to trapping working capital in debtors


What are two ways increase the current in the wire?

You can increase the current in a wire by increasing the voltage applied across it or by decreasing its resistance. Additionally, increasing the cross-sectional area of the wire can also help facilitate higher current flow.


How you increase load electrically in Gas turbine plants?

By increasing the flow rate of the natural gas being used as the fuel.


Does increasing pipe diameter increase water flow?

well it depends it could but for it to make a difference you will need more water pressure.


What is the role of thermal energy in osmosis?

The speed of an osmotic transfer can increase as temperature increases. An increase in thermal energy will increase the movement of molecules both in the liquids, and of the semipermeable membrane, resulting in an increased flow. An increase in thermal energy may also lower the viscosity of a liquid, increasing it's rate of flow.


What will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit?

An increase in voltage or a decrease in resistance will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit. This is because current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance according to Ohm's Law.


How do you increase drag?

You can increase drag by increasing the surface area exposed to the flow of air or water, or by changing the shape of the object to create more resistance. Adding rough textures or projections can also help increase drag.


When can you increase the flow rate of a fluid in your daily life?

The flow rate of a fliud or liquid could be increased (depending on the situation) by increasing the amount of the fluid, then channelising this fluid into a narrow channel.
