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 with the invention of the engine and with the

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

Introduction to Engine Performance – Study Guide ©2005 Melior‚ Inc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The engine is the power plant of a vehicle. Automotive engines have gone through tremendous changes since the automobile was first introduced in the 1880s‚ but all combustion engines still have three requirements that must be met to do their job of providing power – air‚ fuel‚ and ignition. The mixture of air and fuel must be compressed

WANKEL ENGINE The Wankel engine‚ invented by German engineer Felix Wankel‚ is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four-stroke cycle takes place in a space between the inside of an oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing and a rotor that is similar in shape to a Reuleaux triangle but with sides that are somewhat flatter. This design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact size. Since

ABSTRACT Camless internal combustion engines offer major improvements over traditional engines in terms of efficiency‚ maximum torque and power‚ pollutant emissions. Electromechanical valve actuators are very promising in this context‚ but still present significant control problems. Low valve seating velocity‚ small transition time for valve opening and closing‚ unavailability of position sensor are the main objectives to be considered in the design of the valve control system. Actuator physical

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States (National Stroke Association‚ 2010). Stroke is also a leading cause of disability. Approximately every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke which is about 795‚000 per year (National stroke Association‚ 2010). The incidence of stroke makes it a major health problem in the United States. Prevention and early intervention is the key to reducing death and disability from stroke. Cost effective prevention strategies are

Evidence behind stroke rehabilitation Stroke is a common and serious condition for which there is no routinely available curative treatment. Because of the high burden of disability and the lack of a widely applicable medical treatment‚ much of post-stroke care relies upon rehabilitation interventions. This article will discuss the evidence behind stroke rehabilitation interventions. but before doing so we need to define some terminology. Rehabilitation has a rather non-specific definition: “a problem
