WORKING OF FOUR STROKE CYCLE (DIESEL) C.I ENGINE

 



The working of Four stroke CI Engine is Similar to that of  SI Engine except. Here, fuel injector is placed instead of spark plug and only air is sucked into the cylinder during suction strokes. The operation will be,

1. Suction Stroke : 

During the suction stroke, the piston moves from TDC to BDC. The inlet valve is in open condition where as exhaust valve is closed. When the piston moves from top to bottom, The fresh air is admitted inside the cylinder through inlet valve. 

2. Compression Stroke :

During the compression stroke, both the inlet and exhaust valves are closed. The piston moves from BDC to TDC to compress the air. In case of  CI engine, the compression ratio varies from 12 to 18. The pressure at the end of compression is about 3500 to 4000 kN /m2. The temperature of the compressed air reaches 600 to 700*C 

3. Power Stroke :

In this stroke also, both the inlet and exhaust valves are in closed position. The fuel injector opens just before the beginning of the third stroke, it injects the fuel in atomized form. Ignition of the fuel takes place automatically by means of high pressure and temperature air. The pressure and temperature further will increase due to the combustion, it pushes the piston towards down. thus it produces power stroke. 

4. Exhaust Stroke : 

During this stroke, inlet valve is closed and the exhaust valve is opens. The piston moves from BDC to TDC. It blows out the burnt gases from the cylinder. Thus, one cycle of operation is completed and repeated again and again in the same manner.

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...

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...

TOP POLLUTION RECORDED IN WORLD

CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR DISASTER (NUCLEAR POLLUTION) :  In April 26,1986, the melt down of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor , in Russia, has leaked out the radioactive rays and radioactive materials.   Effects : 1. In this Pollution nearly 2000 persons have been killed by the accident. 2. People suffered due to the illness such as, degeneration of the cells, severe bleeding, anemia, skin cancer. 3. Animals, Plants are also affected by nuclear radiation.  MINAMATA EPIDEMIC (1953) : MARINE POLLUTION ( CASE STUDY ) Minamata is a small coastal village in Japan. The Chisso Chemical Company , which produces vinyl polymer plastics used organomercurial compound. The industry released its effluent into Minamata sea. The effluent containing mercury ions is converted into methyl mercury, which is highly toxic.  The marine organisms like phytoplankton and zoo-planktons easily absorb the toxic methyl mercury compound. These organisms are consumed by small fishes and these are in ...
