Advantages and Disadvantages of Two Stroke over Four Stroke Cycle Engines
In a two stroke engine, the working cycle is completed in two strokes of the piston or one revolution of the crankshaft. In a four stroke engine, the working cycle…
What Are Bulker Ships?
We have been studying about various types of commercial ships are used to transport dry unpackaged goods (of course there are other types of cargoes as well) over large distances through the medium of…
Supercharging of IC Engines
Supercharging of IC Engines - It is the process of increasing the mass (or in other words density) of the air fuel mixture (in spark ignition engines) or air (in…
Spark Plug in IC Engines
A spark plug is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of some internal combustion engines and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by means of an electric spark. Spark…
Air Standard Cycles
Internal combustion engines, in which the combustion of fuel occurs in the engine cylinder itself, are non-cyclic heat engines. The temperature due to evolution of heat, because of the combustion…
Governing of IC Engines
The process of providing any arrangement, which will keep the engine speed constant (according to the changing load conditions) is known as governing of I.C. engines. Though there are many…
Air Standard Otto Cycle
Otto Cycle (1876) (Used S. I. Engines): Fig: Engine and Indicator diagram Processes: 0-1 = Suction: The inlet valve is open, the piston moves to the right, admitting fuel-air mixture…
Internal Combustion Engines- Basic Differences
Difference between SI and CI Engines:- The following are the main differences between SI and CI Engines: Spark Ignition (SI) EngineCompression Ignition (CI) EngineSpark plug requiredNo spark plug requiredThe mixture…
I.C Engines Important definitions and formulas
Top Dead Centre (T.D.C):- When the piston is at its top most position, i.e. the piston is closet to cylinder head, it is called top dead centre. Bop Dead Centre (B.D.C):- When…
Difference between SI and CI engines
Spark Ignition Engines (S.I. Engine) It works on Otto cycle. In Otto cycle, the energy supply and rejection occur at constant volume process and the compression and expansion occur isentropically. The…
