Aside from propelling an aircraft forward, the power and torque generated by a combustion engine is also used to power many of the systems which support the engine itself. Moreover, there are systems that the engine helps run but does not directly benefit from. As such, in addition to an ignition system, aircraft engines also incorporate a lubrication system, fuel system, electrical system, and pressurization system, all of which are explained below in this brief introduction.

HVAC systems, or Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems, are a regular element of many modern buildings, allowing for a space to achieve optimal comfort as one can use the system to govern air quality, temperature, air flow, and relative humidity. While many are familiar with the temperature controls that many HVAC systems provide, features may go beyond temperature control with the ability to manage relative humidity. While humidity settings can bring more comfort, they can also protect a space from issues like mold growth and respiratory issues. Because of these various capabilities that modern HVAC systems offer, as well as how they can affect health and safety, it can be very useful to have a basic understanding of how they are designed and implemented within buildings.

Screws are a common form of fastener that may be found in countless assemblies across different applications, serving to secure two or more parts together through their external threading that draws in and locks materials as the component is driven into a surface. While all screws perform the same basic role of assembly, there are a variety of types that differ in their design to accommodate a number of applications and requirements. Hex head screws are a typical subtype that one may find in a hardware store, and they are notable for their six-sided head and preformed machine threads. In this blog, we will discuss how hex head screws may be used, covering their common materials, variations, and applications.
