Q1:
The exact moment at which the inlet and outlet valve opens and closes with
reference to the position of piston and crank shown diagrammatically is
known as Valve Timing Diagram. The timing is expressed in terms of
degrees of crank rotation
ii-Ac tual Valve Timing Diagram of Four stroke engines:
The inlet valve is made to open 10degree to 30degree before the piston
reaches the Top Dead Center (TDC) during Suction Stroke and is allowed to
close only after 30degree to 40degree after the piston reaches and leaves the
BDC in the beginning of compression stroke.
3- What are the main consideration factors for the air- fuel cycles.
. Cylinder contains constant amount of air and it is treated as ideal gas.
. The specific heats and other physical and chemical properties remain
unchanged during the cycle.
. Instead of heat generation by combustion, heat is transformed from
external heat source.
. The process of heat removal in the exhaust gases is represented by heat
transfer from the cycle to external heat sink.
. There is neither friction nor turbulence; all processes are assumed to be
reversible.
. No heat loss from the working fluid to the surroundings.
. Cycles can be presented on any diagram of properties
5- due to more restricts parts along the carburetors which disrupt the
flow.
Q5: A 1500 cm3 ,four stroke cycle, four cylinder CI engines operating
at 3000 rpm and produces 48 kW. Volumeterc efficiency is 0.92, air fuel
ratio is 21:1 and mechanical efficiency is 0.85. Calculate:
0.024/.92=0.028 kg/s]
mf=0.028/21=0.0072 kg/sec
Bsfc=mf/Bp
48/0.85=57.14 kW
Fp=Ip-Bp=57.14-48=9.14kW
Q6- The heat supplied to the engine is only in the form of fuel - heat and is
equal to .
QA = mf x C.V
Where,
mf = mass of fuel used in kg/min
C.V = Calorific value of fuel in KJ /kg
Where,
Mw = mass of cooling water circulated in kg/min
CPw = Specific heat of cooling water
= 4.186 KJ/kgK
Twi = Temperature of cooling water at inlet in °C
Two = Temperature of cooling water at outlet of the engine in °C
Qg = mg CPg (T g - TR)
