Emission Done by S.I Engine

 There are three main sources of air pollution due to petrol engine.

1. Exhaust emissions through tail pipe,

2. Evaporative losses through carburetor, and 

3. Crankcase blow by.


I) EXHAUST EMISSIONS THROUGH TAIL PIPE :

   The Exhaust Emission contains HC, CC and NO2 ( Oxides Of Nitrogen). HC Occurs in exhaust gases due to incomplete combustion. The emission of HC is closely related to many designing and operating factors like induction system , combustion chamber design, air fuel ratio, speed, load and mode of operation. Lean mixture gives lower HC emission.

CO Occurs due to insufficient amount of air in the air fuel mixture or insufficient time for complete combustion. The combustion of nitric oxide (NO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) ( Called Oxides of Nitrogen No2) occurs only in the engine exhaust. High Temperatures and availability of oxygen are the two main reasons for the formation of No2. The Spark advance and air-fuel ratio are the two important factors which affect the formation of NO2.

II) EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS :

   Evaporative emission takes place from the fuel supply system. The main reason Of  Hydrocarbon evaporation is high Temperature. Fuel Volatility , locations of tank, layer of fuel line and mode of operation also affect the evaporation. About 30% of the total hydrocarbon emission is occurring from the fuel tank, Fuel line and carburetor.

III) CRANK CASE BLOW BY :

   Crankcases  blow by means of the leakage past the piston and piston rings from the cylinder to the crankcase. In blow by gases, there are about 85% of raw HC and rest 15% of the other gases. It is about 20% of the total HC Emission from the engine and may be 30% of the rings are worn out. The blow by the gases are controlled by the crankcase ventilation system.

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...

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...
