A- the compression stroke

B- the spark ignition point (s)

C- What is meant by the letters

on the figure:

 

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

 

 

2- What are the engine classifications from the point of view?

i- Methods of cooling system 

 

 

 

ii- Methods of fuel system

 

 

 

3- A high-speed engine considered to be operating on the dual combustion cycle has a compression ratio (r) of 18:1. The maximum cylinder pressure reached (p3) was 7210 kN/m2 abs. and maximum temperature (t4) 1680oC. The pressure of the air at the beginning of the compression (p1) cycle is 100 kN/m2 abs. and temperature (t1) 200C. g = 1.4. The volume at the beginning of the compression (V1) is 400 cc.

a- Find the clearance volume (Vc)

 

 

b- Engine swept volume (Ve) if number of cylinders is 4.

 

 

c- Find p2, T2, T3, p4, T4, p5 and T5
