Chapter 1 ENGINES 1.1. INTRODUCTION The term‚ Engine‚ coined from the French word Engin‚ is nothing new to engineers. Motors converting heat energy into motion are usually referred to as engines (Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition‚ 2010). The type of engine being focused on in this report is an Internal Combustion Engine (as shown in Fig 1.1) in which a fuel is burnt along with air to produce hot gases which are then used to generate the necessary power

224 C H A P T E R 6 RECIPROCATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES 6.1 Introduction Perhaps the best-known engine in the world is the reciprocating internal combustion (IC) engine. Virtually every person who has driven an automobile or pushed a power lawnmower has used one. By far the most widely used IC engine is the spark-ignition gasoline engine‚ which takes us to school and work and on pleasure jaunts. Although others had made significant contributions‚ Niklaus Otto is generally credited

A diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine and sometimes capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline)‚ which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel

Throughout the history of mankind‚ human instinct has driven the ambitious decisions to exceed impossible feats. Until the beginning of the millennium Bugatti Motor Company was vague in the minds of most people. It took great ambition and risk to behold the fastest land speed record of a full production vehicle. Bugatti changed motor companies world wide prospective of the impossible becoming plausible and aroused striving new concepts of automobiles. Such drastic endeavors inspired the resurrection

Diesel Engine Heat engines are sometimes referred to as being motors. Actually‚ a motor converts one form of energy into useful work without the intentional production of heat‚ such as an electric motor. A device which burns fuel creating heat to perform work is a heat engine. Heat engines can be classified as external combustion‚ such as steam boiler‚ or internal combustion (IC). They can further be divided into the spark ignited (SI) engine or the compression ignited engine (CI). The compression

horsepower to your car by installing a turbocharger. While‚ true a turbo kit can add a lot of horsepower to your car‚ keep in mind there are several things that go into installing a turbocharger like the size of the turbo‚ how much boost your engine can handle‚ how much torque can your axles handle‚ will you need to modify your fuel intake system etc. The following is a guide on how to install a turbo in a car that has been properly prepared for a turbocharger. First raise the front end of

Part 1: Thesis Statement: A turbocharger is an excellent component and can be utilized to improve fuel economy‚ increase overall horsepower‚ and enhance the engine’s towing ability. I developed this thesis by using my knowledge of the different applications turbochargers are used on. Many vehicle manufacturers these days prefer to use smaller displacement engines and add turbochargers in order to produce a vehicle that gets great gas mileage‚ while not sacrificing power. I did not do any research

Piston Engines Picture a tube or cylinder that holds a snugly fitting plug. The plug is free to move back and forth within this tube‚ pushed by pressure from hot gases. A rod is mounted to the moving plug; it connects to a crankshaft‚ causing this shaft to rotate rapidly. A propeller sits at the end of this shaft‚ spinning within the air. Here‚ in outline‚ is the piston engine‚ which powered all airplanes until the advent of jet engines. Pistons in cylinders first saw use in steam engines. Scotland’s
