Assignment 3

1. The document provides three design problems for connecting rods in internal combustion engines. 2. The first problem provides specifications for a high speed petrol engine and asks the student to design the connecting rod. 3. The second problem provides specifications for an engine running at 1800 rpm and asks the student to design the connecting rod and choose proportions for an I-section design. 4. The third problem provides specifications for a 4-stroke diesel engine running at 1500 rpm and asks the student to design the connecting rod.

1 Design high speed petrol engine connecting rod, given: Piston 1 Apply
diameter = 100 mm, Stroke length = 130 mm. Length of the (3)
connecting rod = 300mm, Rated rpm of the engine = 1500,
Compression ratio = 6:1 Mass of reciprocating parts per cylinder =
2.25 kg, Speed = 1500 rpm, Maximum explosion pressure = 3.5Mpa
Bearing pressure for big end = 7 MPa Bearing pressure for small end
14 MPa Factor of safety = 7, Density = 8000 kg/m3, Yield strength in
compression 330Mpa. Connecting rod should be of I-section and be
made of forged steel, the proportions being depth h = 5t, width = 4t,
where is the flange and web thickness.
2 Design a connecting rod for an I.C. engine running at 1800 r.p.m and 1 Analysis
developing a maximum pressure of 3.15 N/mm2. The diameter of the (4)
piston is 100 mm; mass of the reciprocating parts per cylinder 2.25kg;
length of connecting rod 380 mm; stroke of piston 190 mm and
compression ratio 6:1. Take a factor of safety of 6 for the design.
Take length to diameter ratio for big end bearing as 1.3 and small end
bearing as 2 and the corresponding bearing pressures as 10 N/mm2
and 15 N/mm 2. The density of material of the rod may be taken as
8000kg/m3 and the allowable stress in the bolts as 60 N/mm2 and in
cap as 80 N/mm2. The rod is to be of I- section for which you can
choose your own proportions. Use Rankine formula for which the
numerator constant may be taken as 320 N/mm2 and the denominator
1/7500.
3 Design a connecting rod with following particulars refer to a 4 stroke 1 Apply
diesel engine given: Piston diameter = 150 mm, Stroke length = 180 (3)
mm, Length of the connecting rod= 4 times of length of crank, Rated
rpm of the engine =1500 Compression ratio = 6:1, Mass of
reciprocating parts per cylinder = 2.25 kg, Speed = 1200 rpm,
Maximum explosion pressure = 5 Mpa, Factor of safety=7, Yield
strength in compression 350Mpa, Bearing pressure for big end = 7
MPa, Bearing pressure for small end = 14 MPa.
