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.

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.

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...

THROTTLE GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES

Steam Pressure at inlet to a steam turbine is reduced by throttling process to maintain the speed of the turbine constant at part load and hence this method of governing is called "Throttle Governing". Construction : Throttle governing system consists of a centrifugal governor, a lever , an oil pump , a pilot piston , control valve , a relay piston and a throttle valve. The throttle valve is moved by a relay piston. The relay piston is actuated by pilot piston control valve. There are two piston valves covering ports in the pilot piston control valve without any overlap. These piston valves are operated by lubricating oil supplied by a gear pump at 2 to 4 bar. The oil returns to the drain from this chamber. Working : When the turbine works on full rated load, the throttle valve will remain open. When the load is decreased, the energy output of the turbine becomes in excess and the turbine shaft speed increases. Hence, governor sleeve will lift. The upward movemen...
