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

A 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 during the final stage of compression. Diesel engines have wide range of utilization for automobiles‚ locomotives & marines and co-generation systems. However‚ large problem is still related to undesirable emission. The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine but with additional

..................................5 g) References..............................................................................................5 OBJECTIVE This experiment was carried out to study the conduction of heat along a composite bar and evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient. INTRODUCTION Conduction is defined as the transfer of energy from more energetic particles to adjacent less energetic particles as a result of interactions between the particles. In solids‚ conduction

COMPARE AND CONTRAST ESSAY ASSIGNMENT IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT “In the heat of the night” is a novel written by John Ball who is a famous detective novel. In this essay I will discuss about the differences between the book and the film of “In the heat of the night”. The book gives you more details about what is happening and it is more interesting. The film doesn’t give as much details as the book does‚ the film changes some things and it makes it less interesting. In the book the story is taking

latent heat of fusion for water Specific latent heat is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change the state of one kilogram of a specific substance‚ whether it’s boiling or melting‚ without increasing or decreasing the temperature of the substance. Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change a specific substance from solid to liquid. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 334 KJ/ KG. Each substance has its own specific latent heat of fusion

The Invention of the jet Engine Mohammadhossein Khoddammohammadi January 25‚ 2014 A jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a fast moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion in accordance with Newton’s laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets‚ turbofans‚ rockets‚ ramjets‚ and pulse jets. In general‚ jet engines are combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist. In common parlance‚ the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal

Heat exchanger An interchangeable plate heat exchanger Tubular heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall‚ so that they never mix‚ or they may be in direct contact.[1] They are widely used in space heating‚ refrigeration‚ air conditioning‚ power plants‚ chemical plants‚ petrochemical plants‚ petroleum refineries‚ natural gas processing‚ and sewage treatment. The classic example

ABSTRACT The quest for an engine which having the same or more power with higher fuel efficiency than the existing ones has started before many years. As a result of all these researches a new engine concept is formed‚ which is a six stroke engine. Lot of research works are conducting on this topic nowadays and already six types of six stroke engines were discovered yet. Of these the resent developed three six stroke engines‚ i.e.‚ Beare head‚ Bruce crowers and Velozeta’s are undergoing tremendous

1. Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger – Working Principle The shell and tube heat exchanger comprises of two major things as its name state "Shell and Tube". The shell is a major vassel with quantities of tube inside it (Jalmood‚ n.d). Shell and tube heat exchangers are helpful for pressurized application. Heat is exchanged between the liquid in the tubes and the liquid inside the shell. Configuration of the tube pack is such that‚ all the section sides of the tube could be joined with a typical header
