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.

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...

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...

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.
