Comparison Of Otto, Diesel and Dual Cycles

OTTO CYCLE :

* It consists of adiabatic and two constant volume processes.

* Compression ratio is equal to expansion ratio.

* Heat addition takes place at constant volume process.

* Compression ratio is less. It varies from 5 to 6.

* Efficiency depends on compression ratio only.

* Efficiency is more than diesel cycle for same compression.

* Heat rejected is less.

DIESEL CYCLE :

* It consists two adiabatic and two constant pressure processes.

* Compression ratio is not equal to expansion ratio.

* Heat addition takes place at constant pressure processes.

* Compression ratio is more. It varies from 12 to 18.

* Efficiency depends on cut off ratio and compression ratio.

* Efficiency is less than Otto cycle for same compression ratio.

* Heat rejected is more.

DUAL CYCLE :

* It consists of two adiabatic, two constant volume and one constant pressure processes.

* Compression ratio is not equal to expansion ratio.

* Heat addition takes place at both constant volume and constant pressure processes.

* Compression ratio lies between two.

* Efficiency depends on compression ratio, cut off ratio and pressure ratio.

* Efficiency lies between two.

* Heat rejected lies in between two.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

Advantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.

MELTING FURNACES FOR FERROUS METALS : CUPOLA AND ITS WORKING

Various types of melting furnaces are used in different foundry shops, depending upon the quantity of metal to be melted at a time, and the nature of work that is carried out in the shop. The primary objective in cupola is to produce iron of desired composition, temperature and properties at the required rate in the most economical manner. Besides, this furnace has many distinct advantages over the other types, e.g., simplicity of operation, continuity of production, and increased output coupled with a high degree of efficiency. Description Of a Cupola : The Cupola Furnace consists of a vertical, cylindrical steel sheet, 6 to 12 mm thick, and lined inside with acid refractory bricks or acid tamping clay. The refractory bricks or the tamping clay used consist of silicon oxide acid (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3). The lining is generally thicker in the lower where the temperatures encountered are higher than in the upper region. The shell is mounted either on a brick work fo...

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a roll. The objec...
