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.

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...

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 ...

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...
