Cylinder & Cylinder Liner

2 Basic functions of Cylinder:
To retain the working fluid i.e. air & Fuel mixture
To Guide the piston.
Combustion of fuel takes place inside the cylinder &
very high temp. are encountered, there fore some
cooling arrangment is necessary.
1. Water cooled.
2. Air cooled : Small single cyl. Engines are usually
air cooled, cylinders are provided with FINs over
the outer surface of the cyl. Excess heat of
combustion is transmitted by the cylinder wall to
the surroundings by FINs.

IP = BP/ = 4000/0.8 = IP = 5000W
IP = (Pm lAn)/60 =>
5000 = (0.35(1.5D/1000)(D2/4)(1200/2))/(60)
D=106.6mm =108mm
l=1.5D = 1.5*108 = 160mm
L = 1.15 l = 1.15*160 = 184 mm.

Cylinder

Head contains:
1. Inlet & Exhaust Valves,
2. Spark plug in SI & Injector in CI Engines

Assumption: Cylinder head is flat.

Cylinder Head Thickness is given by
(th in mm) = D
Where K = Constant (0.162)
c = Allowable circumferential Stress in N/mm2
c = t = (Sut)/ FOS (or assumed 30 to 50 N/mm2

Studs for Cylinder Head

Studs used to make assembly of Cylinder , Cylinder

head & Gasket.

Provide leak-proof joint
Subjected to Tensile stresses due to internal gas
pressure,
3 imp. Parameters in design
1. Number of Studs (z) :
Min Num: = 0.01D + 4
Max Num: = 0.02 D + 4
2. Diameter of Studs: is obtained by equating the
max. gas force acting on the cylinder head to the
resisting force offered by all studs.
Gas force :

Pitch of studs: the pitch circle diameter is obtained
by empirical relations

In order to obtain leak proof joint the pitch of studs

should be between the following limits:
