SYNOPSIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------SYNOPSIS

This project work deals with the Compressed-air engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. They have existed in many forms over the past two centuries, ranging in size from hand held turbines up to several hundred horsepower. Some types rely on pistons and cylinders, others use

turbines. Many compressed air engines improve their performance by heating the incoming air, or the engine itself. Some took this a stage further and burned fuel in the cylinder or turbine, forming a type of internal combustion engine.

There is currently some interest in developing air cars. Several engines have been proposed for these, although none have demonstrated the performance and long life needed for personal transport.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

A compressed-air vehicle is powered by an air engine, using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning it in the engine to drive pistons with hot expanding gases, compressed air vehicles (CAV) use the expansion of compressed air to drive their pistons. One manufacturer claims to have designed an engine that is 90 percent efficient.

Compressed air propulsion may also be incorporated in hybrid systems, e.g., battery electric propulsion and fuel tanks to recharge the batteries. This kind of system is called hybrid-pneumatic electric propulsion. Additionally, regenerative braking can also be used in conjunction with this system.

CHAPTER 2 AIR ENGINE HISTORY

HISTORY STARTS WITH TODAY'S AIR CAR INVENTORS

Angelo Di Petros Rotary Positive Displacement Air Engine:Everything I've heard about this air engine is positive. Many people have written asking me to report on it, but the best I can do till I ride in his air car is to show you a picture and a Based on what is said about the engine, I think it sounds like a good idea. It seems like a good approach to simplifying the piston engine while lowering friction and wear. Quoting from the website, "The space between stator and rotor is divided in 6 expansion chambers by pivoting dividers. These dividers follow the motion of the shaft driver as it rolls around the stator wall.

The motor shown is effectively a 6 cylinder expansion motor...Variation of performance parameters of the motor is easily achieved by varying the time during which the air is allowed to enter the chamber: A longer air inlet period allows more air to flow into the chamber and therefore results in more torque. A shorter inlet period will limit the air supply and allows the air in the chamber to perform expansion work at a

much higher efficiency. In this way compressed air (energy) consumption can be exchanged for higher torque and power output depending on the requirements of the application...Motor speed and torque are simply controlled by throttling the amount or pressure of air into the motor. The Di Pietro motor gives instant torque at zero RPM and can be precisely controlled to give soft start and acceleration control." From what I've read, I think this sounds like what other people have wished they could invent. A lot of people are counting on Mr. Di Pietro to get an air car on the market. Armando Regusci Loves to Build Air Cars:In my correspondence with Mr.

Regusci of Uruguay, I found him a sincere person and his design very appealing.

Like my torquerack engine, his invention does away with the crankshaft, replacing it with sprockets and chains and freewheeling clutches, to turn a shaft. He has built bikes and small air cars of various descriptions and is very devoted to the cause.

His website, http://www.airenergycars.com, is extensive. You can also see his video on YouTube.com. When I first contacted Mr. Regusci, he was assisting a university in Texas with their plans to build an air car. i want all you air car enthusiasts to become air car inventors, like angelo di pietro, armando regusci, guy negre, terry miller, and all the rest. join forces with each other and let's get off the internet and onto the highway. we know we have the best alternative, now let's get out there and prove it. A BRIEF HISTORY OF AIR CARS For half a century the air-powered locomotive was a serious contender for the top spot in transportation because of its obvious advantages: simplicity, safety, economy, and cleanliness. Air engines were commercially available and used routinely, first as metropolitan street transit and later for haulage in mines.

The term "air engine" disappeared from engineering textbooks after the 1930s and the second world war. Gas engines had been perfected, the oil industry was established, and gas was cheap.

Serious interest in air cars was rekindled by the energy glitches of the 1970s. Dozens of inventors have patented designs for hybrid, closed cycle, and self-fueling air cars, as well as conversions for existing engines and designs for air cars meant to stop at air stations for refueling. The Pneumatic Railway, 1880s to today Like modern electric subway trains, the power supply was provided continuously by a pipeline laid along the track. This concept was not practical at the time it was invented (1820s) because the materials were not available to make it work reliably. A modern version appeared in Brazil in the 1980s, invented by Oskar H. W. Coester, and developed by Aeromovel Global Corp.

The Mekarski Compressed Air Locomotive, 1886-1900:The Mekarski air engine was used for street transit. It was a single-stage engine (air expanded in one piston then exhausted) and

represented an advance in air engine technology that made air cars feasible: the air was reheated after leaving the tank and before entering the engine. The reheater was a hot water tank through which the compressed air bubbled in direct contact with the water, picking up hot water vapor which improved the engine's range-between-fill-ups.

The Hardie Compressed Air Locomotive, 1892-1900:Robert Hardie's air engine was a going concern in street transit in New York City. Air car advocate General Herman Haupt, a civil engineer, wrote extensively about the advantages of air cars, using the Hardie engine as his source material and providing much of the impetus for the New York experiment to gain support and succeed. The engine was a one-stage expansion engine using a more advanced type of reheating than the Mekarski engine. One of its new features was regenerative braking.

By using the engine as a compressor during deceleration, air and heat were added to the tanks, increasing the range between fill-ups. A 1500 horsepower steam-powered air compressor station was built in New York City to supply the Hardie compressed air locomotives and the Hoadley-Knight pneumatic locomotives.

The Hoadley-Knight Compressed Air Locomotive, 1896-1900:The Hoadley-Knight system was the first air powered transit locomotive that incorporated a two-stage engine. It was beginning to be recognized that the longer you keep the air in the engine, the more time it has to absorb the heat that increases its range-between-fill-ups. Hoadley and Knight were also supporters of Nikola Tesla's disc turbine, for which they formed a propulsion company that didn't get off the ground. The H. K. Porter Compound Air Locomotives, 1896-1930:Inventor Charles B. Hodges became the first and only air car inventor in history to see his invention become a lasting commercial success.

His engine was two-stage and employed an interheater between the two piston stages to warm the partially expanded compressed air with the surrounding atmosphere. A substantial gain in range-between-fill-ups was thus proven attainable with no cost for the extra fuel, which was provided by the sun. The H. K. Porter Company in Pittsburgh

sold hundreds of these locomotives to coal-mining companies in the eastern U.S. With the hopeful days of air powered street transit over, the compressed air locomotive became a standard fixture in coal mines around the world because it created no heat or spark and was therefore invaluable in gassy mines where explosions were always a danger with electric or gas engines. The European Three-Stage Air Locomotive, 1912-1930 Hodges' patents were improved upon by European engineers who increased the number of expansion stages to three and used interheaters before all three stages. The coal mines of France and Germany and other countries such as Belgium were swarming with these locomotives, which increased their range-between-fill-ups 60% by the addition of ambient heat.

It might have become obvious to the powers-that-be that these upstarts were a threat to the petroleum takeover that was well under way in the transportation industry; after world war two the term "air engine" was never used in compressed air textbooks

and air powered locomotives, if used at all, were usually equipped with standard, inefficient air motors. The German Diesel-Pneumatic Hybrid Locomotive, 1930 Just before technical journals stopped reporting on compressed air locomotives, they carried stories on a 1200 horsepower full-size above-ground locomotive that had been developed in Germany. An onboard compressor was run by a diesel engine, and the air engine drove the locomotive's wheels.

Waste heat from the diesel engine was transferred to the air engine where it became fuel again. By conserving heat in this way, the train's range-between-fill-ups was increased 26%. A modern train engineer tells me that all train engines these days are hybrids: diesel-electric. And we are supposed to consider the Toyota Prius a miracle of modern invention?

Terry Miller, the Father of the Modern Air Car Movement:-

In 1979, Terry Miller set out to design a spring-powered car and determined that compressed air, being a spring that doesn't break or wear out, was the perfect energy-storing medium. From there he

developed his Air Car One, which he built for $1500 and patented. He showed his air car from coast to coast and then went on to other things. In 1993 he picked up his air car project again with the help of Toby Butterfield of Joplin, Missouri. They developed the Spirit of Joplin air car with parts mostly donated by manufacturers. Terry's air engines demonstrated the feasibility of building air engines with off-the-shelf parts on a small budget. His engines used up to four consecutive stages to expand the same air over and over. They ran at a low speed so there was plenty of time for ambient heat to enter the system and the possibility of low-tech developers to build engines cheaply at home. Terry was instrumental in educating the founder of Pneumatic Options on air car fundamentals. Terry's greatest contribution--and what makes him an air car advocate, not just another inventor--was that he published and made easily available the complete details on how to build an engine like his. No other inventor has done this. Shortly before his death in 1997, Terry Miller gave all rights to his invention to his daughter and to Toby Butterfield. Mr. Butterfield died in 2002.

Guy Negre and MDI:-

Currently a French inventor named Guy Negre is building an organization to market his air car designs in several countries. A web search for air cars will turn up hundreds of references to his company, Moteur Developpment International (MDI). His website is at www.mdi.lu. Mr. Negre holds patents on his unique air engine in several countries. Plans are underway to build air car factories in Mexico, South Africa, Spain and other countries. We wish him success and encourage you to visit his website (or one of his licensees in Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain, theaircar.com) and support his good work. C. J. Marquand's Air Car Engine Dr. Marquand has taken the highly commendable step of incorporating heat pipes into his air engine design for the recovery of compression heat. He also plans to use regenerative braking. It is not clear whether his engine has been tested in a car yet. Professor Marquand is a scientist with a number of published research articles to his credit. For further information contact: C. J. Marquand or H. R. Ditmore, Dept. of Technology & Design, Univ. of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish St., London W1M 8JS, Tel. 0170 911 5000.

Tsu-Chin Tsao's Hybrid Air Engine for Cars

Tsu-Chin Tsao is a distinguished professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCLA. He has invented a camless gasoline engine that does not idle; it uses compressed air to start the car, and when the air is gone the engine runs on gasoline. During deceleration, braking energy operates a compressor to fill the air tank for the next start. This brings to mind Buckminster Fuller's reminder in his magnum opus Critical Path, wherein he tells us how many horses (as in horsepower) could be jumping up and down going nowhere for all the gasoline being pointlessly burned by cars sitting at red lights at any given time. We have nothing but admiration and respect for Professor Tsao's serious step in a perfectly good direction, and apparently Ford Motor Company is in agreement: they are working with Tsao's team to look into the viability of putting a pneumatic hybrid on the road to compete with the Toyota Prius and other electric hybrids. The pneumatic hybrid is expected to save 64% in city driving and 12% on the highway.

CHAPTER 3 I.C ENGINE

Internal combustion engines are those heat engines that burn their fuel inside the engine cylinder. In internal combustion engine the chemical energy stored in their operation. The heat energy is converted in to mechanical energy by the expansion of gases against the piston attached to the crankshaft that can rotate. 4.1 PETROL ENGINE The engine which gives power to propel the automobile vehicle is a petrol burning internal combustion engine. Petrol is a liquid fuel and is called by the name

gasoline in America. The ability of petrol to furnish power rests on the two basic principles; Burning or combustions always accomplished by the production of heat. When a gas is heated, it expands. If the volume remains constant, the pressure rises according to Charles law. 4.2 WORKING There are only two strokes involved namely the compression stroke and the power stroke, they are usually called as upward stroke and downward stroke respectively.

4.2.1 UPWARD STROKE During this stroke, the piston moves from bottom dead center to top dead center, compressing the charge-air petrol mixture in combustion chamber of the cylinder, at the time the inlet port is uncovered and the exhaust, transfer ports are covered. The compressed charge is ignited in the combustion chamber by a spark given by spark plug.

4.2.2 DOWNWARD STROKE

The charge is ignited the hot gases compress the piston moves downwards, during this stroke the inlet port is covered by the piston and the new charge is compressed in the crankcase, further downward movement of the piston uncovers first exhaust port and then transfer port and hence the exhaust starts through the exhaust port. As soon as the transfer port open the charge through it is forced in to the cylinder, the cycle is then repeated.

4.3 ENGINE TERMINOLOGY The engine terminologies are detailed below,

4.3.1 CYLINDER It is a cylindrical vessel or space in which the piston makes a reciprocating motion. 4.3.2 PISTON It is a cylindrical component fitted to the cylinder which transmits the bore of explosion to the crankshaft. 4.3.3 COMBUSTION CHAMBER

It is the space exposed in the upper part of the cylinder where the combustion of fuel takes place. 4.3.4 CONNECTING ROD It inter connects the piston and the crankshaft and transmits the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotary motion of crankshaft. 4.3.5 CRACKSHAFT It is a solid shaft from which the power is transmitted to the clutch.

4.3.6 CAM SHAFT It is drive by the crankshaft through timing gears and it is used to control the opening and closing of two valves. CAM These are made as internal part of the camshaft and are designed in such a way to open the valves at the current timing. PISTON RINGS

It provides a tight seal between the piston and cylinder wall and preventing leakage of combustion gases. GUDGEON PIN It forms a link between the small end of the connecting rod and the piston. INLET The pipe which connects the intake system to the inlet valve of the engine end through which air or air fuel mixture is drawn in to the cylinder.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD The pipe which connects the exhaust system to the exhaust valve of the engine through which the product of combustion escape in to the atmosphere. INLET AND EXHAUST VALVE They are provided on either on the cylinder head or on the side of the cylinder and regulating the charge coming in to the cylinder and for discharging the product of combustion from the cylinder. FLYWHEEL

It is a heavy steel wheel attached to the rear end of the crank shaft. It absorbs energy when the engine speed is high and gives back when the engine speed is low. NOMENCLATURE This refers to the position of the crank shaft when the piston is in it slowest position. 4.4.1 BORE(d) Diameter of the engine cylinder is refers to as the bore.

Spark Ignition Engine A spark ignition (SI) engine runs on an Otto cyclemost gasoline engines run on a modified Otto cycle. This cycle uses a homogeneous air-fuel mixture which is combined prior to entering the combustion chamber. Once in the combustion chamber, the mixture is compressed, and then ignited using a spark plug (spark ignition). The SI engine is controlled by limiting the amount of air allowed into the engine. This is accomplished through the use of a throttling valve placed on the air intake (carburetor or throttle body). Mitsubishi is working on the development of a certain type of SI engine called the gasoline direct injection engine.

Advantages

A century of development and refinement - For the last century the SI engine has been developed and used widely in automobiles. Continual development of this technology has produced an engine that easily meets emissions and fuel economy standards. With current computer controls and reformulated gasoline, today's engines are much more efficient and less polluting than those built 20 years ago.

Low cost - The SI engine is the lowest cost engine because of the huge volume currently produced.

Disadvantages The SI engine has a few weaknesses that have not been significant problems in the past, but may become problems in the future.

Difficulty in meeting future emissions and fuel economy standards at a reasonable cost - Technology has progressed and will enable the SI engine to meet current standards, but as requirements become tougher to meet, the associated engine cost will continue to rise.

Throttling loss lowers the efficiency - To control an SI engine, the air allowed into the engine is restricted using a throttling plate. The engine is constantly fighting to draw air past the throttle, which expends energy.

Friction loss due to many moving parts - The SI engine is very complex and has many moving parts. The losses through bearing friction and sliding friction further reduce the efficiency of the engine.

Limited compression ratio lowers efficiency - Because the fuel is already mixed with the air during compression, it will auto-ignite (undesirable in a gasoline engine) if the compression ratio is too high. The compression ratio of the engine is limited by the octane rating of the engine.

BEARING WITH BEARING CAP

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHAPTER 4 BEARING WITH BEARING CAP

The bearings are pressed smoothly to fit into the shafts because if hammered the bearing may develop cracks. Bearing is made upon steel material and bearing cap is mild steel.

INTRODUCTION

Ball and roller bearings are used widely in instruments and machines in order to minimize friction and power loss. While the concept of the ball bearing dates back at least to Leonardo da Vinci, their design and manufacture has become remarkably sophisticated. This technology was brought to its p resent state o f perfection only after a long period of research and development. The benefits of such specialized research can be obtained when it is possible to use a standardized bearing of the proper size and type. However, such bearings cannot be used indiscriminately without a careful study of the loads and operating

conditions. In addition, the bearing must be provided with adequate mounting, lubrication and sealing. Design engineers have usually two possible sources for obtaining information which they can use to select a bearing for their particular application:

a) Textbooks b) Manufacturers

Catalogs Textbooks are excellent sources; however, they tend to be overly detailed and aimed at the student of the subject matter rather than the practicing designer. They, in most cases, contain information on how to design rather than how to select a bearing for a particular application. Manufacturers catalogs, in turn, are also excellent and contain a wealth of information which relates to the products of the particular manufacturer. These catalogs, however, fail to provide alternatives which may divert the designers interest to products not manufactured by them. Our Company, however, provides the broadest selection of many types of bearings made by different manufacturers.

For this reason, we are interested in providing a condensed overview of the subject matter in an objective manner, using data obtained from different texts, handbooks and manufacturers literature. This information will enable the reader to select the proper bearing in an expeditious manner. If the designers interest exceeds the scope of the presented material, a list of references is provided at the

end of the Technical Section. At the same time, we are expressing our thanks and are providing credit to the sources which supplied the material presented here.

Construction and Types of Ball Bearings A ball bearing usually consists of four parts: an inner ring, an outer ring, the balls and the cage or separator. To increase the contact area and permit larger loads to be carried, the balls run in curvilinear grooves in the rings. The radius of the groove is slightly larger than the radius of the ball, and a very slight amount of radial play must be provided. The bearing is thus permitted to adjust itself to small amounts of angular misalignment between the assembled shaft and mounting. The separator keeps the balls evenly spaced and prevents them from touching each other on the sides where their relative velocities are the greatest. Ball bearings are made in a wide variety of types and sizes. Single-row radial bearings are made in four series, extra light, light, medium, and heavy, for each bore, as illustrated in Fig. 1-3(a), (b), and (c).

100 Series

200 Series

300 Series

Axial Thrust

Angular Contact Self-aligning

Bearing Fig. 1-3 Types of Ball Bearings

The heavy series of bearings is designated by 400. Most, but not all, manufacturers use a numbering system so devised that if the last two digits are multiplied by 5, the result will be the bore in millimeters.

The digit in the third place from the right indicates the series number. Thus, bearing 307 signifies a medium-series bearing of 35-mm bore. For additional digits, which may be present in the catalog number of a bearing, refer to manufacturers details. Some makers list deep groove bearings and bearings with two rows of balls. For bearing designations of Quality Bearings &

Components (QBC), see special pages devoted to this purpose. The radial bearing is able to carry a considerable amount of axial thrust. However, when the load is directed entirely along the axis, the thrust type of bearing should be used. The angular contact bear- ing will take care of both radial and axial loads. The self-aligning ball bearing will take care of large amounts of angular misalignment. An increase in radial capacity may be secured by using rings with deep grooves, or by employing a double-row radial bearing. Radial bearings are divided into two general classes, depending on the method of assembly. These are the Conrad, or nonfilling-notch type, and the maximum, or filling-notch type. In the Conrad bearing, the balls are placed between the rings as shown in Fig. 1-4(a). Then they are evenly spaced and the separator is riveted in place. In the maximum-type bearing, the balls are a (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

SPROCKET WITH CHAIN DRIVE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHAPTER 5 SPROCKET AND CHAIN DRIVE

This is a cycle chain sprocket. The chain sprocket is coupled with another generator shaft. The chain converts rotational power to pulling power, or pulling power to rotational power, by engaging with the sprocket.

The sprocket looks like a gear but differs in three important ways: 1. Sprockets have many engaging teeth; gears usually have only one or two. 2. The teeth of a gear touch and slip against each other; there is basically no slippage in a sprocket. 3. The shape of the teeth is different in gears and sprockets.

Figure Types of Sprockets

Engagement with Sprockets:

Although chains are sometimes pushed and pulled at either end by cylinders, chains are usually driven by wrapping them on sprockets. In the following section, we explain the relation between sprockets and chains when power is transmitted by sprockets. 1. Back tension

First, let us explain the relationship between flat belts and pulleys. Figure 2.5 shows a rendition of a flat belt drive. The circle at the top is a pulley, and the belt hangs down from each side. When the pulley is fixed and the left side of the belt is loaded with tension (T0), the force needed to pull the belt down to the right side will be: T1 = T0 3 eu For example, T0 = 100 N: the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley, = 0.3; the wrap angle u = (180). T1 = T0 3 2.566 = 256.6 N In brief, when you use a flat belt in this situation, you can get 256.6 N of drive power only when there is 100 N of back tension.

For elements without teeth such as flat belts or ropes, the way to get more drive power is to increase the coefficient of friction or wrapping angle. If a substance, like grease or oil, which decreases the coefficient of friction, gets onto the contact surface, the belt cannot deliver the required tension. In the chain's case, sprocket teeth hold the chain roller. If the sprocket tooth configuration is square, as in Figure 2.6, the direction of the tooth's reactive force is

opposite the chain's tension, and only one tooth will receive all the chain's tension. Therefore, the chain will work without back tension.

Figure Flat Belt Drive

Figure Simplified Roller/Tooth Forces

Figure The Balance of Forces Around the Roller

But actually, sprocket teeth need some inclination so that the teeth can engage and slip off of the roller. The balances of forces that exist around the roller are shown in Figure 2.7, and it is easy to calculate the required back tension.

For example, assume a coefficient of friction = 0, and you can calculate the back tension (Tk) that is needed at sprocket tooth number k with this formula: Tk = T0 3 sin k-1 sin( + 2b) Where: Tk= T0 = = N= 2b = back tension at tooth k chain tension sprocket minimum pressure angle 17 64/N() number of teeth sprocket tooth angle (360/N)

k=

the number of engaged teeth (angle of wrap 3 N/360); round down to the nearest whole number to be safe By this formula, if the chain is wrapped halfway around the sprocket, the back

tension at sprocket tooth number six is only 0.96 N. This is 1 percent of the amount of a flat belt. Using chains and sprockets, the required back tension is much lower than a flat belt. Now let's compare chains and sprockets with a toothed-belt back tension. Although in toothed belts the allowable tension can differ with the number of pulley teeth and the revolutions per minute (rpm), the general recommendation is to use 1/3.5 of the allowable tension as the back tension (F). This is shown in below Figure 2.8. Therefore, our 257 N force will require 257/3.5 = 73 N of back tension.

Both toothed belts and chains engage by means of teeth, but chain's back tension is only 1/75 that of toothed belts.

Figure 2.8 Back Tension on a Toothed Belt

Chain wear and jumping sprocket teeth The key factor causing chain to jump sprocket teeth is chain wear elongation (see Basics Section 2.2.4). Because of wear elongation, the chain creeps up on the sprocket teeth until it starts jumping sprocket teeth and can no longer engage with the sprocket. Figure 2.9 shows sprocket tooth shape and positions of engagement. Figure 2.10 shows the engagement of a sprocket with an elongated chain. In Figure 2.9 there are three sections on the sprocket tooth face:

a: Bottom curve of tooth, where the roller falls into place; b: Working curve, where the roller and the sprocket are working together; c: Where the tooth can guide the roller but can't transmit tension. If the roller, which should transmit tension, only engages with C, it causes jumped sprocket teeth. The chain's wear elongation limit varies according to the number of sprocket teeth and their shape, as shown in Figure 2.11. Upon calculation, we see that sprockets with large numbers of teeth are very limited in stretch percentage. Smaller sprockets are limited by other harmful effects, such as high vibration and decreasing strength; therefore, in the case of less than 60 teeth, the stretch limit ratio is limited to 1.5 percent (in transmission chain).

Figure 2.9 Sprocket Tooth Shape and Positions of Engagement

Figure 2.10 The Engagement Between a Sprocket and an Elongated Chain

Figure 2.11 Elongation Versus the Number of Sprocket Teeth

In conveyor chains, in which the number of working teeth in sprockets is less than transmission chains, the stretch ratio is limited to 2 percent. Large pitch conveyor chains use a straight line in place of curve B in the sprocket tooth face.

A chain is a reliable machine component, which transmits power by means of tensile forces, and is used primarily for power transmission and conveyance systems. The function and uses of chain are similar to a belt. There are many kinds of chain. It is convenient to sort types of chain by either material of composition or method of construction. We can sort chains into five types: Cast iron chain.

 Cast steel chain. Forged chain. Steel chain. Plastic chain.

Demand for the first three chain types is now decreasing; they are only used in some special situations. For example, cast iron chain is part of water-treatment equipment; forged chain is used in overhead conveyors for automobile factories. In this book, we are going to focus on the latter two: "steel chain," especially the type called "roller chain," which makes up the largest share of chains being produced, and "plastic chain." For the most part, we will refer to "roller chain" simply as "chain."

NOTE: Roller chain is a chain that has an inner plate, outer plate, pin, bushing, and roller. In the following section of this book, we will sort chains according to their uses, which can be broadly divided into six types: 1. Power transmission chain. 2. Small pitch conveyor chain. 3. Precision conveyor chain.

4. Top chain. 5. Free flow chain. 6. Large pitch conveyor chain. The first one is used for power transmission; the other five are used for conveyance. In the Applications section of this book, we will describe the uses and features of each chain type by following the above classification. In the following section, we will explain the composition of power transmission chain, small pitch chain, and large pitch conveyor chain. Because there are special features in the composition of precision conveyor chain, top chain, and free flow chain, checks the appropriate pages in the Applications section about these features.

Basic Structure of Power Transmission Chain A typical configuration for RS60-type chain is shown in Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1 The Basic Components of Transmission Chain

Connecting Link This is the ordinary type of connecting link. The pin and link plate are slip fit in the connecting link for ease of assembly. This type of connecting link is 20 percent lower in fatigue strength than the chain itself. There are also some special connecting links which have the same strength as the chain itself. (See Figure 1.2) Tap Fit Connecting Link In this link, the pin and the tap fit connecting link plate are press fit. It has fatigue strength almost equal to that of the chain itself. (See Figure 1.2)

Figure 1.2 Standard Connecting Link (top) and Tap Fit Connecting Link (bottom)

Offset Link An offset link is used when an odd number of chain links is required. It is 35 percent lower in fatigue strength than the chain itself. The pin and two plates are slip fit. There is also a two-pitch offset link available that has fatigue strength as great as the chain itself. (See Figure 1.3)

COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE PRINCIPLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHAPTER 6 COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE PRINCIPLE

A compressed-air vehicle is powered by an air engine, using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning it in the engine to drive pistons with hot expanding gases, compressed air vehicles (CAV) use the expansion of compressed air to drive their pistons. One manufacturer claims to have designed an engine that is 90 percent efficient. Compressed air propulsion may also be incorporated in hybrid systems, e.g., battery electric propulsion and fuel tanks to recharge the batteries. This kind of system is called hybrid-pneumatic electric propulsion. Additionally, regenerative braking can also be used in conjunction with this system.

1. ENGINE:-

A Compressed-air engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. They have existed in many forms over the past two centuries, ranging in size from hand held turbines up to several hundred horsepower. Some types rely on pistons and cylinders, others use turbines.

Many compressed air engines improve their performance by heating the incoming air, or the engine itself. Some took this a stage further and burned fuel in the cylinder or turbine, forming a type of internal combustion engine. One can buy the vehicle with the engine or buy an engine to be installed in the vehicle. Typical air engines use one or more expander pistons. In some applications it is advantageous to heat the air, or the engine, to increase the range or power.

TANKS:-

The tanks must be designed to safety standards appropriate for a pressure vessel, such as ISO 11439. The storage tank may be made of:

steel, aluminium,

carbon fiber, Kevlar, Other materials or combinations of the above.

The fiber materials are considerably lighter than metals but generally more expensive. Metal tanks can withstand a large number of pressure cycles, but must be checked for corrosion periodically. One company stores air in tanks at 4,500 pounds per square inch (about 30 MPa) and hold nearly 3,200 cubic feet (around 90 cubic metres) of air. The tanks may be refilled at a service station equipped with heat exchangers, or in a few hours at home or in parking lots, plugging the car into the electrical grid via an onboard compressor.

COMPRESSED AIR:-

Compressed air has a low energy density. In 300 bar containers, about 0.1 MJ/L and 0.1 MJ/kg is achievable, comparable to the values of electrochemical lead-acid batteries. While batteries can somewhat maintain their voltage throughout their discharge and chemical fuel tanks provide the same power densities from the first to the last litre,

the pressure of compressed air tanks falls as air is drawn off. A consumer-automobile of conventional size and shape typically consumes 0.3-0.5 kWh (1.1-1.8 MJ) at the drive shaft per mile of use, though unconventional sizes may perform with significantly less.

EMISSION OUTPUT:-

Like other non-combustion energy storage technologies, an air vehicle displaces the emission source from the vehicle's tail pipe to the central electrical generating plant. Where emissions-free sources are available, net production of pollutants can be reduced. Emission control measures at a central generating plant may be more effective and less costly than treating the emissions of widely-dispersed vehicles. Since the compressed air is filtered to protect the compressor machinery, the air discharged has less suspended dust in it, though there may be carry-over of lubricants used in the engine.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHAPTER 7 WORKING PRINCIPLE

Today, internal combustion engines in cars, trucks, motorcycles, aircraft, construction machinery and many others, most commonly use a four-stroke cycle. The four strokes refer to intake, compression, combustion (power), and exhaust strokes that occur during two crankshaft rotations per working cycle of the gasoline engine and diesel engine. The cycle begins at Top Dead Center (TDC), when the piston is farthest away from the axis of the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston from Top Dead Center (TDC) to Bottom Dead Center (BDC). 1. INTAKE stroke: On the intake or induction stroke of the piston , the piston descends from the top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. A mixture of fuel and air is forced by atmospheric (or greater) pressure into the cylinder through the intake port. The intake valve(s) then close. 2. COMPRESSION stroke: With both intake and exhaust valves closed, the piston returns to the top of the cylinder compressing the fuel-air mixture. This is known as the compression stroke.

3. POWER stroke.: While the piston is close to Top Dead Center, the compressed air fuel mixture is ignited, usually by a spark plug (for a gasoline or Otto cycle engine) or by the heat and pressure of compression (for a diesel cycle or compression ignition engine).

The resulting massive pressure from the combustion of the compressed fuel-air mixture drives the piston back down toward bottom dead center with tremendous force. This is known as the power stroke, which is the main source of the engine's torque and power. 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). In our project we have to modified these four strokes into totally two stoke with the help of inner CAM alteration. In air engine we can design a new CAM which is operate only Inlet stroke and exhaust stroke. Actually in four stroke engine the inlet and exhaust valve opens only one time to complete the total full cycle. In that time the piston moving from top dead center to bottom dead center for two times. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston from Top Dead Center (TDC) to Bottom Dead Center (BDC). In our air engine project, we have to open inlet and exhaust valve in each and every stroke of the engine so that it will convert the four stroke engine to two stroke engine by modifying the CAM shaft of the engine.

We know that, 1Kg of carbon requires 8/3 Kg of oxygen for the complete combustion. 1Kg of carbon sulphur requires 1 Kg of Oxigen for its complete combustion. (From Heat Power Engineering-Balasundrrum)

Therefore, The total oxygen requires for complete combustion of 1 Kg of fuel = [ (8/3c) + (3H) + S] Kg

Little of oxygen may already present in the fuel, then the total oxygen required for complete combustion of Kg of fuel

{ [ (8/3c) + (8H) + S ] - O} Kg

As air contains 23% by weight of Oxygen for obtain of oxygen amount of air required = 100/23 Kg

Minimum air required for complete combustion of 1 Kg of fuel

= So for petrol 1Kg of fuel requires = =

(100/23) { [ (8/3c) + H + S] - O} Kg (100/23) { [ (8/3c) x 0.86 + (8 x 0.14) ] } 14.84 Kg of air

APPLICATIONS

1. Two wheeler Application 2. Four wheeler Applications

DISADVANTAGES

1. Like the modern car and most household appliances, the principal disadvantage is the indirect use of energy. 2. The temperature difference between the incoming air and the working gas is smaller. In heating the stored air, the device gets very cold and may ice up in cool, moist climates. 3. Refueling the compressed air container using a home or low-end conventional air compressor may take as long time.. 4. Tanks get very hot when filled rapidly. It very dangers it some time bloused. 5. Only limited storage capacity of the tanks. So we not take drive on long time.
