Introduction to Engines
Types of Engine
Cylinder
Exhaust
Once the piston hits the bottom of its
stroke, the exhaust valve opens and the
exhaust leaves the cylinder to go out the
tail pipe.
Sump
The sump surrounds the crankshaft. It contains
some amount of oil, which collects in the bottom
of the sump (the oil pan).
Compression
Then the piston moves back up to compress this
fuel/air mixture. Compression makes the
explosion more powerful.
Intake Stroke
The piston starts at the top, the intake valve
opens, and the piston moves down to let the
engine take in a cylinder-full of air and
gasoline. This is the intake stroke. Only the
tiniest drop of gasoline needs to be mixed into
the air for this to work.
Combustion
When the piston reaches the top of its stroke,
the spark plug emits a spark to ignite the
gasoline. The gasoline charge in the cylinder
explodes, driving the piston down
Crankshaft
The crank shaft turns the piston's up and down motion into
circular motion just like a crank on a jack-in-the-box does.
Working Of Hemi Engine
Working of HEMI Engine is based on Otto cycle which consist of the
following strokes. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston from Top
Dead Center (TDC) to Bottom Dead Center (BDC).
4.Exhaust stroke:-During the exhaust stroke, the piston once again returns
to top dead center while the exhaust valve is open. This action evacuates
the products of combustion from the cylinder by pushing the spent fuel-air
mixture through the exhaust valve(s).
OTTO CYCLE
The intake (A) stroke is
performed by an isobaric
expansion, followed by the
compression (B) stroke,
performed by an adiabatic
compression. Through the
combustion of fuel an
isochoric process is
produced, followed by an
adiabatic expansion,
characterizing the power
(C) stroke. The cycle is
closed by an isochoric
process and an isobaric
compression,
characterizing the exhaust
(D) stroke. The Otto cycle p-V diagram
