Automotive engine Engines are desinged to be two strokes or four strokes of a piston that moves up and down in a cylinder. Generally, the automotive engine uses four strokes to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through combustion of gasoline or similar hydrocarbon fuel. The heat produced is converted into mechanical work by pushing the piston down in the cylinder. A connecting rod attached to the piston transfers this energy to a rotating crankshaft Engines having from 1 to 16 cylinders in in-line, flat, horizontally opposed, or V-type cylinder arrangements have appeared in production vehicles, progressing from simple single-cylinder engines at the beginning of the twentieth century to complex V-12 and V-16 engines by the early 1930s. Increased vehicle size and weight played a major role in this transition, requiring engines with additional displacement and cylinders to provide acceptable performance.

Piston and cylinder geometry

B=bore, S=stroke, r=connecting rod lenght, a= crank offset , s= piston position ,
=crank angle,Vc=clearance volume,
Vd=dispalcement volume

Bore sizes of engines ranges from 0.5m down to 0.5 cm. The ratio of bore to stroke,B/S for small engines is usually from 0.8 to 1.2.

Stroke ratio

In a reciprocating piston engine, the stroke ratio, defined by either bore/stroke ratio or stroke/bore ratio, is a term to describe the ratio between cylinder bore diameter and piston stroke. This can be used for either an internal combustion engine, where the fuel is burned within the cylinders of the engine, or external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, where the combustion of the fuel takes place outside the working cylinders of the engine

Stroke/bore ratio is less common than bore/stroke ratio, but is used in some

    Early proponents of the jet engine claimed that these new engines could operate on any fuel from whiskey to peanut butter. Although jet engines are much more tolerant than gasoline and diesel engines, the aircraft and engine fuel system are sensitive to the chemical and physical properties of the fuel. Early advances in engine and aircraft design greatly expanded the flight envelope which necessitated new standards for turbine engine fuel quality. This led to the introduction of a variety of fuel types for different purposes and to the development of specifications to ensure the fuel met equipment requirements under all flight conditions.

    The first step in an internal combustion engine is to acquire all the attributes to create combustion in a chamber. The necessary air flows through the air filter (usually a conical shaped, micro filament, located in either the front right or left of the engine bay). After the air is sucked into the filter it passes through some tubing until it reaches the mass air sensor. The mass air sensor does exactly what it says, senses the amount of air flow and converts it into a signal or number which then is used to determine the amount of fuel to be delivered. The air and fuel must be at a regulated ratio for maximum gas mileage and power efficiency. Next the air goes through the throttle body, this mechanism regulates the amount of air let into the lower half of the engine, and this is attached to the accelerator (gas pedal) by a cable. The further the gas pedal is depressed, the greater amount of air that is let into the engine, which results in faster acceleration.…

    As everyone knows, an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize the engine and will take up as little space as possible necessary to its mechanical functioning. An internal combustion engines fuel system is, literally, the heart of the engine.…

    One of the most simple and clear explanation of how the Wankel engine works oppose to piston engine comes from Time magazine: “Instead of converting up-and-down piston motion into wheel-driving circular energy through a series of complex linkages—the way a standard engine works—the Wankel rotors spin continuously and thus provide the proper torque to move a car 's wheels directly.” (Time Aug 14 1972). It has four times less moving parts versus four cylinder engine. Therefore, Wankel engines “are smaller, peppier and potentially cheaper to build than conventional reciprocating models, and have only six major points of wear, v. 100 in a conventional engine” (Time Aug 14 1972).…

    An Air Driven Engine makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation The Compressed Air Technology is quite simple. If we compress normal air into a cylinder the air would hold some energy within it. This energy can be utilized for useful purposes. When this compressed air expands, the energy is released to do work. So this energy in compressed air can also be utilized to displace a piston…

    Description The AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter is a high precise and continuous fuel consumption measurement system, which is used worldwide at almost all engine test beds where engines of a maximum consumption of 125 kg/h are tested. The system stands out for a very high accuracy and because of the modular design it can be combined with existing conditioning systems. The fuel system AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter enables a high precise fuel consumption measurement also at low flow rates and short measurement times. With a high accuracy mass flow sensor the fuel consumption is determined continuously and via direct mass flow measurement in kg/h. The density does not have to be determined in addition to the direct determination of the gravimetric or specific fuel consumption like in volumetric measurement methods. The fuel consumption can thus be determined to an accuracy of 0.12% for the whole system under real test bed conditions. With the FlexFuel version, up to 100% alcohol and biodiesel can be measured.…

    At the end of 2010 it was estimated that there were 31,035,791 cars owned in the UK. (1) With cars being such a high contributor to the environmental problems that the planet is experiencing, it is of vital importance that our cars become as fuel efficient as possible, thus saving petrol and preserving the world’s fossil fuels. Around seventy-five percent of carbon monoxide emissions come from automobiles and in urban areas, harmful automotive emissions are responsible for anywhere between 50 and 90 percent of air pollution (2) which emphasises the importance of making our motor vehicles as environmentally friendly as possible. This experiment aims to determine the volumetric efficiency characteristics of an everyday petrol engine which should give some insights about how to decrease the fuel consumption of cars and other small vehicles.…
