ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As I begin to reflect on the magnitude of this project report, I am reminded of the celebrated quarterback who sprints on to the field in the last quarter of the game, confers in the huddle, confidently strides out to the line of scrimmage and throws the perfect spiral pass fifty yards downfield into the end zone to score the winning touchdown. The fans cheer ,the coaches are thrilled and the quarterback joyously revels in the glory of winning the game . But it was a team effort , for a team makes each individual achieve more . I have never been known to have words fail me , but as I begin to put on paper the feelings I have towards the people who changed my heart , soul & thought , I am overwhelmed . There is a difficulty in assigning a hierarchy since it has been a true team effort from the beginning. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the invaluable support and guidance given by to Mr. RC.MEHTA, (Senior MANAGER , assembly line)) for putting his faith in me leading me through the projects. Sir, Thank you for being a light At the same time I would like to thank MR.NAGARJUN SINGH for all the support be it as good friend or as a colleague who helped me through the difficult times of the project and

ABSTRACT

I was working in the engine housing. Basically, I was supposed to check the engine performance, 25 engines per shift. I had to note down the testing readings per engine. I also had the opportunity to look into the assembly line but didnt have much concentration in the assembly line. The engine after the assembly is sent to the testing house from where it is sent to the final inspection. After the inspection is done, the engines are tagged as ok or not ok. The engines tagged as ok are sent to the main line assembly where they are assembled and to the further process. The engines tagged as not ok are sent for further correction and are checked according to their checklist manuals. The same procedure was repeated for all the engines. I studied the various combustion process and its measurement unit. I also studied the soot and its particulates which are mentioned in the further chapters. I also worked on the vertical rough boring machine for 15 days. My job was to clean the machine before sending it for the machining process.

1.2

THE FOUNDING PHILOSOPHY

Over six decades back two young men set out on a journey together armed with little beyond intelligence, business acumen and determination and dreams aplenty. They believed that India could only achieve total freedom with a breakthrough in the field of agriculture and mechanization would have to rule the fields. Their youthful enthusiasm had kindled the hope that one day they would make a mark of their own. They were in fact writing the first chapter of what has come to be widely recognized as one of the greatest success stories in Indian industry. Escorts came into being with a vision. A vision that eschewed
9

easy paths to profitability, and sought instead for ways to make a contribution. A vision that led two young brothers, Yudi and Hari Nanda, to branch out of their family's prospering transport business and institute ventures that were to become the foundations of Escorts Limited. On 17th October 1944, Escorts Agents Limited was born at Lahore (now in Pakistan) with Mr. Yudi Nanda as Managing Director and Mr. Hari Nanda as Chairman. It was a trendsetting marketing house driven by the same business philosophy, which had given their family enterprise an unrivalled reputation: customer concern. Not long afterwards, this driving ambition to go beyond the expected led Hari Nanda to the first of his many successful business insights - the discovery of the great business potential that lay in India's villages. This led to the launch, in 1948, of Escorts (Agriculture and Machines) Ltd., with Yudi Nanda as Director. Though separate business entities then, both companies had two great strengths in common: the dynamic Nanda brothers and the unifying force of the name they gave their companies; Escorts, literally 'escorting' their products and services to the customer while most other businessmen were just selling. Tragically, Mr. Yudi Nanda died in an accident in 1952 - but his spirit remained embedded in the foundations of the company. Mr. Nanda then took on the mantle to realize the dreams which he had always seen with his brother. Escorts (Agents) Ltd. and Escorts (Agriculture and Machines) Ltd. merged in 1953 to create a single entity -Escorts Agents Pvt Ltd. Having initially started with a franchise for Westinghouse domestic appliances, by this time the Company had already expanded its marketing and service operations, representing internationally known German and American organizations such as MAN, AEG, Haniel & Leug, Knorr Bremse, MIAG and BMA for sophisticated electrical and mechanical engineering equipment and Minneapolis Moline and Wisconsin for agricultural tractors, implements and engines. Escorts made a major thrust into the agricultural arena by taking on the marketing and service franchise for Massey Ferguson tractors in Northern India, which soon comprised 75% of MF's all-India sales - a signal tribute to Escorts' inherent strengths. Its first industrial venture came up in 1954, in partnership with Goetzewerke of Germany for the manufacture of piston rings and cylinder liners - followed by production of pistons in collaboration with MAHLE, also of Germany, in 1960.

10

The company's incorporation in its present name, Escorts Limited, was effected on 18th January, 1960. Escorts' next major industrial activity was the assembly of tractors in 1961 in technical cooperation with URSUS of Poland. Subsequently this led to the manufacture of the country's first indigenous tractors under Escorts' own brand name, which were to play a pivotal role in the Green Revolution. This went on to lay the foundations that even today are the Company's core strengths -relevant, world-standard technology through strategic international alliances; a broad based marketing and service network yet unrivalled. Beyond the growth of the organization, these principles have ensured that Mr. H. P. Nanda's contribution to the cause of industry and the consumer will endure. He pioneered the revolutionary concept of interdependence between ancillary and large industries, institutionalizing vendor development and in the process building Faridabad and the entire belt of townships in the region. He introduced the discipline of service going before marketing, reassuring the customer that Escorts would stay with them that they were here for the long run.

1.3 Background
In 1960, our parent company, Escorts, set up the strategic Agri Machinery Group (AMG) to venture into tractors. In 1965, we rolled out our first batch of tractors under the brand name of Escort. In 1969 a separate company, Escorts Tractors Ltd., was established with equity participation of Ford Motor Co., Basildon, UK for the manufacture of Ford agricultural tractors in India. In the year 1996 Escorts Tractors Ltd. formally merged with the parent company, Escorts Ltd. Since inception, we have manufactured over 1 million tractors.

INTRODUCTION OF FARMTRAC PLANT

2.1 OVERVIEW MANUFACTURING
Escorts AMG has tractor manufacturing capacity of 98,940 trs / annum which is the highest in Asia at one location. Its manufacturing operations are divided in three plants as: Component Plant Tractor Assembly plant Crankshaft & Hydraulic Plant Component plant consists of machine shops in which all major castings such as engine locks, gear box housings, differential housings are being machines along with the gears & shafts. Machine shop consists of state of the art machines such as CNC Horizontal Machining Centres, CNC turning Centres and variety of other precision machines, including gear hobbling and shaving machines etc. It is important to note that all critical components are machines in house. Tractor assembly plant is divided into two lines as Farmtrac Line and the Powertrac Line. Farmtrac line is a composite line that has machining as well as assembly activities of Engine, Transmission & tractor are being carried out. Tractor assembly plant ha state of the Art Paint Shop that has CED paint shop facilities. Engine shop has state of the Art testing facilities that includes AVL make Eddy Current Dynamometers in engine test house. Crankshaft & hydraulic plant is divided into two parts as Crankshaft Line and hydraulics Line. Crankshaft line consists of machine shop where crankshafts of all tractor models are being machined. It has state of the Art Machines such as Rotary Miller, Pin Grinder and Journal Grinder etc. Hydraulic line consists of machining as well as assembly activities where critical parts of tractor hydraulics such as Distributor and Hydraulic Cylinder etc are being machined and assembled, in his State of the Art Honing and other precision machines.

12

2.2 FARMTRAC LINE

Farmtrac line consists of four housings and following areas are as follows:1. Axle Housing 2. Paint House 3. Engine Housing In all these housings, the respective parts are manufactured and sent to the main line assembly, where all the parts are assembled. It usually takes 8 steps for a tractor assembly. These steps are as follows: Skid Engine assembly Foot step Break pedal Fixed lift 3 paint linkage Spool valve

After the tractor is completely assembled, the tests are performed by checking the bhp and specific fuel consumption etc which are further explained in the further chapters. After the tests are performed and if tested ok, they are sent to the dispatch area from where they are sent to the showrooms.

2.3 AXLE HOUSING

The splined shaft that protrudes from the geared differential and holds one of the rear wheels. It is located inside the rear end housing. An axle is a central shaft for rotating wheel or gear. On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be fixed to the wheels, rotating with them, or fixed to its surroundings, with the wheels rotating around the axle. In the former case, a bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. In the latter case, a bearing or bushing sits inside the hole in the wheel to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle. Sometimes, especially on vehicles.

13

In other types of suspension systems, the axles serve only to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is typical of the independent suspension found on new cars and on the front many light trucks.

2.4 IMAGE OF AN AXLE

The rear axle housings can be made so they can be dismantled (vertically). A housing that can be dismantled consists of two parts joined by bolts. The final drive is in the middle, wide part of the housing. In a rear axle with a housing that cannot be dismantled, the final drive has a separate housing that is fastened by bolts to the middle part of the housing. The wide middle part of the housing reduces the road clearance of the motor vehicle and makes it necessary to increase the height of the floor. In order to decrease the dimensions of this part of the housing (which is especially important for heavy-duty vehicles and for tractors), the reduction gear of the final drive is made smaller by introducing additional, so-called wheel, gearing.

Rear-wheel-drive tractors are very manoeuvrable and create little soil disturbance when turning. Large rear wheels provide the traction necessary to
14

pull implements in firm to loose soil without undue soil compaction. Small front tires provide the operator with good visibility and are used to steer the tractor. It is important to match tractor size to pulling requirements and size of the implement. Consideration must be given to addition of wheel weights and/or liquid in the rear tires for increased traction. Weights on the front of the tractor are necessary for weight transfer (increased traction) and stability. Tractors are designed to pull either large loads at slow speeds or lighter loads at higher speeds. Field speeds up to 10 mph are possible, but rangeland applications usually vary from 2 to 5 mph. Many attachments are available including front-end loaders. Soil compaction from tractors can be a problem when soil moisture is high. The rear axle assembly is used on rear-wheel drive vehicles. This assembly is the final leg of the drive train. It is often called the final drive or rear end. The rear axle assembly is often mistakenly called the differential. The differential is only part of the rear axle assembly. The basic design of rear axle assemblies has been adopted by all manufacturers for many years. There are several variations, but all operate according to the same basic principles. The major difference between rear axle assemblies depends on whether the vehicle has solid-axle rear suspension or independent rear suspension. Solid-axle rear suspension incorporates rigid and nonflexing drive axles and axle tubes; both wheels move as one solid unit in response to bumps and potholes. Independent rear suspension incorporates jointed drive axles (no axle tubes) that allow for flexibility and independent axle movement.

The rear axle assembly includes the differential assembly, the rear drive axles, and the rear axle housing. Rear axle assemblies are subjected to heavy loads from the engine and road. They are ruggedly constructed and seldom fail. The most common rear end failures are axle bearing failures. In a rear axle assembly, engine power enters the drive pinion gear from the drive shaft assembly and differential pinion yoke/flange. The drive pinion gear, which is in mesh with the ring gear, causes the ring gear to turn. The interaction of the ring and drive pinion gears turns the power flow at a 90 angle. The difference in the number of teeth on the ring and pinion gears causes a reduction gear ratio. This reduces turning speed, while increasing torque. Power from the ring gear flows through the differential case, spider gears, and side gears to the drive axles. The drive axles transfer power from the differential assembly to the rear wheels. The bearings and rear axle housing are key components of the rear axle assembly. They are designed to support and align the differential assembly and the drive axles. Notice that the bearings and axle housing are large, heavyduty parts. This is to ensure they will stand up under hard usage. Seals and gaskets are also very important to the operation of the rear axle assembly. Seals are used at the differential pinion yoke/flange and at the outer drive axles. Gaskets are used at housing interfaces, such as between the differential cover and the housing, to provide a tight seal from the outside.

19

2.6 TRUMPET HOUSING

The normal duty trumpet housings on tractors fitted with gta1040 or 1540 transmission support the right and left-hand axle shafts. They contain the final drive units that transmit the rotation from the differential assembly. Tractors fitted with gta1540 transmission may be fitted with trumpet housings with a flanged axle shaft or straight axle shaft. The two trumpet housings are symmetrical. They are fitted either side of the centre housing. GTA 1040 is the most widely used model in the tractors.

2.7CONSTRUCTION OF GTA 1040

The axle shaft (2) is supported by two tapered roller bearings (7, 8, 12, 13) fitted opposite one another. External tightness is ensured via three lipped seal (5) and internal tightness by a single lip seal (11). The planet carrier assembly of the final drive unit (25) has three planet gears (22). It is splined to the axle shaft (2) in rotation. The shims (26) fitted at the end of the shaft allow for preloading of the tapered roller bearings. The final drive ring gear (15) is force fitted into the trumpet housing. It has five pins (14), which ensure the centring of the brake plate (30). Differential rotation is transmitted to the planet gears of the final drive via sun gear shaft (29) on the teeth of which the brake disc (35) is fitted. The brakes are lubricated via port 0 drilled in the trumpet housing.

ENGINE HOUSING

3.1 INTRODUCTION
We started our project which is detailed study on the combustion on FT60/70 engine and its testing. It is the most widely used engine in the farmtrac series because of its efficiency. Before starting with the project, we studied some basic areas of the engine like cylindrical block and its manufacturing and then its assembly. Engine assembly starts with the manufacturing of the cylinder block. The cylinder block has to go through 26 machines before going into the final inspection. After the inspection is done it is sent for the heat treatment and then it is sent to the assembly line where the engine parts are assembled. We didnt much focus on the assembly line and just went though the procedures and steps involved in it. We also worked as helper where we were supposed to count the nuts and bolts everyday and handing over it to the assembly line the daily shift basis. Assembly involves 14 steps before giving it as a shape of an engine. 28 workers work in the assembly line.

3.3 CYLINDERICAL BLOCK

A cylinder block is an integrated structure comprising the cylinder of a reciprocating engine and often some or all of their associated surrounding structures like coolant passages, intake and exhaust passages and ports and crankcase. A cylinder block is a unit comprising several cylinders. In the earliest decades of internal combustion engine development, monobloc cylinder construction was rare; cylinders were usually cast individually. Combining their castings into pairs or triples was an early win of monobloc engine.

23

 A block made of aluminium alloy is lighter than if it were made of cast iron. So if two engines are generating the same power, the alloy version would have a better weight-to-power ratio than the cast iron version. Cast iron liners are usually used in the cylinders of aluminium blocks, and sometimes in cast-iron blocks. Some sleeves are cast into the block. Grooves on the outside form a key that stops any movement in the cylinder. They also increase surface area to assist heat transfer from the sleeve to the block. Some blocks dont need liners. They can be made of wear resistant material that makes a hard-wearing surface for the pistons and piston rings. Or the cylinder bore may have some sort of surface treatment to make it hard-wearing. When the cylinders, block and crankcase are all cast together, it is called a monoblock construction. A horizontally-opposed block has a split crankcase. The two engine blocks are joined together by the flanges of the crankcase. In air-cooled engines, the cylinders are usually made as separate parts, and then bolted to the same crankcase. Each cylinder has cooling fins. Theyre often machined to give uniform thickness and allow free flow of air.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

4.1 INTRODUCTION
The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of fuel occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine the expansion of the high temperature and high pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.

4.2 TYPES OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Two stroke engine Four stroke engine Six stroke engine Diesel engine Atkinson cycle Miller cycle

4.3 WORKING OF A DIESEL ENGINE

Compression ignition engines burn fuel oil which is injected into the combustion chamber when the air charge is fully compressed. Burning occurs when the compression temperature of the air is high enough to spontaneously ignite the finely atomized liquid fuel.

The compression ignition engine completes one cycle of events in two crankshafts revolutions or four piston strokes. These four strokes are as follows: Induction stroke Compression stroke Power stroke Exhaust stroke

1. INDUCTION STROKE: - with the inlet valve open and the exhaust
valve closed, the piston moves away from the cylinder head, the outward movement of the piston will establish a depression in the cylinder, its magnitude depending on the ratio of the cross sectional areas of the cylinder and the inlet port and on the speed at which the piston is moving. The pressure difference established between the inside and the outside of the cylinder will induce air at atmospheric pressure to enter and fill up the cylinder.

2. COMPRESSION STROKE: - with both the inlet and the exhaust

valves closed, the piston moves towards the cylinder head. The air enclosed in the cylinder will be compressed into a much smaller space of anything from 1/12 to 1/24 of its original volume. The air charge initially at atmospheric pressure and temperature is reduced in volume until the cylinder pressure is raised. This compression of the air generates heat which will increase the charge.

3. POWER STROKE: -

with both the inlet and the exhaust valves closed and the piston almost at the end of the compression stroke. Diesel fuel oil is injected into the dense and heated air as a high pressure spray of fine particles. Provided that they are properly atomized and distributed throughout the air charge, the heat of the compression will then quickly vaporize and ignite the tiny droplets of fuel. Then the piston will reach its innermost position and extensive burning then releases heat energy which is rapidly converted into pressure energy. Expansion then follows, pushing the piston away from the cylinder head and the linear thrust

acting on the piston end of the connecting rod will then be changed to rotary movement of the crankshaft.

4. EXHAUST STROKE: -

when the burning of the charge is near

completion and the piston has reaches the outmost position, the exhaust valve is opened. The piston then reverses its direction of motion and moves towards the cylinder head. The sudden opening of the exhaust vale towards the end of the power stroke will release the still burning products of combustion to the atmosphere. The pressure energy of the gases at this point will accelerate their expulsion from the cylinder, and only towards the end of the pistons return stroke will the piston actually catch up with the outgoing gases.

4.4 COMBUSTION IN DIESEL ENGINE

In a CI engine the fuel is sprayed directly into the cylinder and the vaporised part of the fuel mixes with air and ignites spontaneously. These photos are taken in a RCM under CI engine conditions with swirl. 0.4 ms after ignition 3.2 ms after ignition

4.6 FOUR STAGES OF COMBUSTION IN CI ENGINES

Fig 9

The combustion process proceeds by the following stages (as per the above graph):

IGNITION DELAY (ab) - fuel is injected directly into the cylinder

towards the end of the compression stroke. The liquid fuel atomizes into small drops and penetrates into the combustion chamber. The fuel vaporizes and mixes with the high-temperature high-pressure air.

combustion of the fuel which has mixed with the air to within the flammability limits (air at high-temperature and high- pressure) during the ignition delay period occurs rapidly in a few crank angles.

PREMIXED COMBUSTION PHASE (bc)

35

MIXING CONTROLLED COMBUSTION PHASE (cd)

after premixed gas consumed, the burning rate is controlled by the rate at which mixture becomes available for burning. The burning rate is controlled primarily by the fuel-air mixing process.

LATE COMBUSTION PHASE (de) heat release may proceed

at a lower rate well into the expansion stroke (no additional fuel injected during this phase). Combustion of any unburned liquid fuel and soot is responsible for this.

4.7 CI ENGINE TYPES

Two basic categories of CI engines:

Direct-injection have a single open combustion chamber into which

fuel is injected directly

Indirect-injection chamber is divided into two regions and the fuel

is injected into the prechamber which is connected to the main chamber via a nozzle, or one or more orifices.

For very-large engines (stationary power generation) which operate at low Engine speeds the time available for mixing is long so a direct injection Quiescent chamber type is used (open or shallow bowl in piston). For small high-speed engines used in automobiles chamber swirl is not Sufficient, indirect injection is used where high swirl or turbulence is generated in the pre-chamber during compression and products/fuel blow down and mix with main chamber air. As engine size decreases and engine speed increases, increasing amounts Of swirl are used to achieve fuel-air mixing (deep bowl in piston).

4.9 COMBUSTION CHARATERSTICS

Combustion occurs throughout the chamber over a range of equivalence ratios dictated by the fuel-air mixing before and during the combustion phase. In general most of the combustion occurs under very rich conditions within the Head of the jet, this produces a considerable amount of solid carbon (soot).

4.10 PARTICULATES
A high concentration of particulate matter (PM) is manifested as visible smoke in the exhaust gases. Particulates are any substance other than water that can be collected by filtering the exhaust, classified as:- Solid carbon material or soot. Condensed hydrocarbons and their partial oxidation products.
38

 Diesel particulates consist of solid carbon (soot) at exhaust gas temperatures below 500oC, HC compounds become absorbed on the surface. In a properly adjusted SI engines soot is not usually a problem. Particulate can arise if leaded fuel or overly rich fuel-air mixture are used. Burning crankcase oil will also produce smoke especially during engine warm up where the HC condense in the exhaust gas.

4.11 SCIENTIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF PM

Particulate matter is defined as all exhaust components that are deposited on a defined filter after having been dilutes with air to a temperature below 51*c. Basically, soot emission also is part of particulate emissions. Soot formation occurs at extreme air deficiency. This air oxygen deficiency is present locally inside diesel engines. Most particulate materials results from incomplete combustion of fuel HC which occurs in fuel rich mixtures.

4.14 MAIN CAUSE FOR FORMATION OF SOOT

Soot is produced by thermal cracking of long chain molecules at oxygen deficiency. A separation of hydrogen leads to carbon structures showing an increasing lack of hydrogen. Acetylene and other polymerization processes lead to formation of molecules rich in carbon that form soot particulates. Once soot is formed, it can be oxidized only to a limited extent Soot formation produces molecules with an increasingly low hydrogen content and higher weight that will finally agglomerate to form soot particulates.

4.15 IGNITION DELAY

Ignition delay is defined as the time (or crank angle interval) from when the fuel injection starts to the onset of combustion. Both physical and chemical processes must take place before a significant fraction of the fuel chemical energy is released: Physical processes include fuel spray atomization, evaporation and mixing of fuel vapour with cylinder air. - Good atomization requires high fuel pressure, small injector hole diameter, Optimum fuel viscosity, high cylinder pressure (large divergence angle). - Rate of vaporization of the fuel droplets depends on droplet diameter velocity, fuel volatility, pressure and temperature of the air.

Chemical processes similar to that described for auto ignition phenomenon in premixed fuel-air, only more complex since heterogeneous reactions (Reactions occurring on the liquid fuel drop surface) also occur.

41

4.16 FUEL IGNITION QUALTTY

The ignition quality of a fuel is defined by its cetane number (CN). The properties of the fuel affect the ignition delay. For low cetane fuels the ignition delay is long and most of the fuel is Injected before auto ignition and rapid combustion, under extreme Cases this produces an audible knocking sound referred to as diesel Knock. For high cetane fuels the ignition delay is short and very little fuel is injected before auto ignition, the heat release rate is controlled by the rate of fuel injection and fuel-air mixing smoother engine operation

4.17 FACTORS AFFECTING IGNITION DELAY TIME

INJECTION TIMING: - at normal engine conditions the minimum delay occurs with the start of injection at about 10-15 BTC. Earlier or later injection timing results in a lower air temperature and pressure during the delay period increase in the ignition delay time. LOAD: - for a CI engine the air is not throttled so the load is varied by changing the amount of fuel injected. Increasing the load (bmep) increases the residual gas and wall temperature which results in a higher charge temperature at injection decrease in the ignition delay. INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE: an increase in either will result in a decrease in the ignition delay; an increase in the compression ratio has the same effect. After we completed with our combustion engine study, we moved on to the engine testing parameters.

4.18 CETANE NUMBER MEASUREMENT

The method employed to measure CN uses a standardized single cylinder engine with variable compression ratio The operating condition is: Inlet temperature (C) Speed (rpm) Start of fuel injection (BTC) Coolant temperature (C) Injection pressure (MPa) 65.6 900 13 100 10.3

With the engine running at these conditions with the test fuel, the compression ratio is varied until combustion starts at TC ignition delay period of 13 degree. The above procedure is repeated using blends of isocetane and cetane. The blend that gives a 13 degree ignition delay with the same compression ratio is used to calculate the test fuel cetane number.

ENGINE TESTING PARAMETERS

5.1 INTRODUCTION
Engine performance is an indication of the degree of success of the engine performs its assigned task i.e. the conversion of the chemical energy contained in the fuel into the useful mechanical work. The performance of an engine is evaluated in the basis of the following:

Specific fuel consumption. Brake mean effective pressure. Specific power output. Specific weight. Exhaust smoke and other emissions.

The particular application of the engine decides the relative importance of these performance parameters The basic performance parameters are the following: Power and mechanical efficiency. Mean effective pressure and Torque. Specific output. Volumetric efficiency. Fuel-air ratio. Specific fuel consumption. Thermal efficiency and heat balance. Exhaust smoke and other emissions. Specific weight.

44

5.2 POWER AND MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY

The main purpose of running an engine is to obtain mechanical power.

5.2.1 BRAKE POWER

The brake power developed by an engine and measured at the output shaft is called the brake power (bp). bp = 2NT 60 Where T is the torque and N is the rotational speed.

5.2.2 INDICATED POWER

It is the power developed in the cylinder and thus, forms the basis of evaluation of combustion efficiency. Ip = pim LANK 60

Where,

pm = Mean effective pressure, N/m2, L = Length of the stroke, m, A = Area of the piston, m2, N = Rotational speed of the engine, rpm (It is N/2 for Four Stroke engine). k = Number of cylinders.

Mechanical efficiency =

ip bp

45

5.2.3 MEAN EFFECTIVE PRESSURE AND TORQUE

It is the average pressure which is assumed to be acting on the piston throughout the power stroke. pm
=

ip x 60 LANK

where,

Pm = Mean effective pressure, N/m2, Ip = Indicated power, Watt, L = Length of the stroke, m, A = Area of the piston, m2, N = Rotational speed of the engine, rpm (It is N/2 for four stroke engine), k = Number of cylinders.

If the mean effective pressure is based on the bp then it is called brake mean effective pressure.

5.2.4 FUEL AIR RATIO

It is the ratio of mass of fuel to mass of air in mixture. It affects the phenomenon of combustion and used for determining flame propagation velocity, the heat released in combustion chamber. For practise always relative fuel air ratio is defined. It is the ratio of actual fuel-air ratio to that of the stoichiometric fuel air ratio required for burning of fuel which is supplied.

6.1 FUTURE SCOPE & CONCLUSION

While there has been intensive work on more or less promising alternatives on the internal combustion engines for some years, now more than 100 years old, it has revealed its enormous development potential. Despite of all these advantages the diesel engine has to fight against prejudices all the time. Although it is no longer considered as noisy and sluggish, there remains the reproach that compression ignition engines produce a higher amount of more harmful exhaust gas constituents than petrol engines.

Optimizing the combustion process

The introduction of four valves per cylinder in engines using the pumpinjector principle will lead to considerable improvements in power output, driving pleasure and environmental compatibility. The principal features of the four-valve combustion chamber are the centrally located, vertical injector nozzle (for symmetrical mixture formation) and the central combustion chamber recess in the piston (for optimum charge flow), and also the increase in efficiency. These elements ensure better mixture formation and optimized combustion. More favourable energy conversion will also enable higher power to be obtained from the engine, will reduce consumption and therefore lead to fewer emissions.
