It involves the regulation and measurement of specific parameters to create controlled environments tailored to the requirements of each industry. Environmental control is applied in various fields, encompassing industries, agricultural management, workplace design, and oil and gas exploration. The application of environmental control is diverse and essential for maintaining specific conditions and minimizing environmental impact. (DIACONU, L.

As used in mechanical engineering, the term tractive force can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface, or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion. In railway engineering, the term tractive effort is often used synonymously with tractive force to describe the pulling or pushing capability of a locomotive. In automotive engineering, the terms are distinctive: tractive effort is generally higher than tractive force by the amount of rolling resistance present, and both terms are higher than the amount of drawbar pull by the total resistance present (including air resistance and grade).
