WORKING OF TWO STROKE CYCLE C.I Engine ( Diesel Engine )

 The working of two stroke C.I  Engine slightly differs from the S.I engine. Instead if sparkplug, the fuel injector is placed on the top of the cylinder.





First Stroke :

 In the first stroke, the piston moves from BDC to TDC. When the piston  is at BDC, partially compressed air from the crank case enters into cylinder through transfer port. Then the piston moves upward and further compresses the air into high pressure and temperature till the piston reaches TDC. At the end of the compressor stroke, The fuel injector injects the fuel in atomized form and ignited automatically by the compressed air. 

During the upward movement of the piston, a slight vacuum will be produced at the crank case to suck the air from atmosphere.

Second Stroke :

When the fuel and air are ignited, it suddenly increases the pressure and temperature of the gas. Therefore, the gases will expand and it pushes the piston downward and producing the power stroke. During the expansion, some of the heat energy produced is converted into mechanical work.

During the  downward stroke of the piston, first it uncovers the exhaust port and the burnt gases are sent out of the engine. At the same time, all the burnt gases are not exhausted. Therefore, scavenging takes place in the cylinder. (Scavenging process already defined in previous section). 

At the time of downward movement of the piston, already entered air in the crankcase is partially compressed by the underside of the piston. The process is called crank case compression.

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...

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...
