WORKING OF TWO STROKE CYCLE S.I ENGINE

 The working principle of two stroke S. I Engine is describes as follows.




1. FIRST STROKE ( SUCTION AND COMPRESSION ) :

 The first stroke consists of the suction and compression processes. During the first stroke , the piston moves upward from BDC to TDC. When the piston is at BDC, the partially compressed air fuel mixture from crank case enters into the cylinder through transfer port. The piston moves upward and compress air contained in it till the piston reaches TDC. At the end of compression stroke, the spark plug  produces spark, it will ignite the compressed high pressure fuel air mixture. ]

2. SECOND STROKE ( EXPANSION OR POWER AND  EXHAUST STROKE ): 

When air fuel mixture is ignited, both the pressure and temperature of  the products of combustion will suddenly increase . Therefore, the piston receives power impulse from the expanded gas and it pushes the piston downward and also produces the power stroke. During the expansion stroke, some of the heat energy produced is converted into mechanical work. 

During downward stroke of piston, already entered air fuel mixture in the crank case is partially compressed by the underside of the piston. This pre compression process is called crank case compression. At the end of the power stroke, the exhaust port opens and burnt gases are sent out of the engine through this port.

At the same time, all the burnt gases are not exhausted. Some portion of it will remain in the cylinder. when the piston moves to BDC, The fresh air fuel mixture from crank case enters into the cylinder to sweep out the burnt gases. The process of sweeping out the exhaust gases with the help of fresh air fuel mixture is known as scavenging. The scavenging helps to remove the burnt gases from the cylinder.

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...

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...
