Assignment 2

1. List five differences between SI engines and CI engines.

2. A four-stroke cycle engine mayor may not have a pressure boost (supercharger, turbocharger)
in the intake system. Why must a two-stroke cycle engine always have an intake pressure boost?

3. List two advantages of a two-stroke cycle engine over a four-stroke cycle engine. List two
advantages of a four-stroke cycle engine over a two-stroke cycle engine.

4. (a) Why do most very small engines operate on a two-stroke cycle? (b) Why do most very large
engines operate on a two-stroke cycle? (c) Why do most automobile engines operate on a four-
stroke cycle? (d) Why would it be desirable to operate automobile engines on a two-stroke
cycle?

5. A single-cylinder vertical atmospheric engine with a 1.2m bore and a piston of 2700 kg mass
is used to lift a weight. Pressure in the cylinder after combustion and cooling is 22 kPa, while
ambient pressure is 98 kPa. Assume piston motion is frictionless. Calculate: (a) Mass which
can be lifted if the vacuum is at the top of the cylinder and the piston moves up. [kg] (b) Mass
which can be lifted if the vacuum is at the bottom of the cylinder and the piston moves down.
[kg]

6. Two automobile engines have the same total displacement volume and the same total power
produced within the cylinders.
List the possible advantages of: (a) A V6 over a straight six.
(b) A V8 over a V6.
(c) A V6 over a V8.
(d) An opposed cylinder four over a straight four.
(e) An in-line six over an in-line four.

7. A nine cylinder, four-stroke cycle, radial SI engine operates at 900 RPM.


Calculate: (a) How often ignition occurs, in degrees of engine rotation.
(b) How many power strokes per revolution.
(c) How many power strokes per second.

8. Design a single-cylinder atmospheric engine capable of lifting a mass of 1000 kg to a height of


three meters. Assume reasonable values of cylinder temperature and pressure after combustion.
Decide which direction the cylinder will move, and give the bore, piston travel distance, mass
of piston, piston material, and clearance volume. Give a sketch of the mechanical linkage to lift
the mass.

9. Design an alternate fuel engine to be used in a large truck by designating all engine
classifications.

10. Design a four-stroke cycle for an SI engine using crankcase compression. Draw schematics of
the six basic processes: intake, compression, combustion, expansion, blowdown, and exhaust.
Describe fully the intake of air, fuel, and oil.
