Diesel Engine Flashcards
(20 cards)
an engine that uses compression ignition
Diesel Engine
was a constant temperature cycle (a cycle based on the Carnot theory) that would require much higher compression than what is needed for compression ignition
Diesel Engine
Two types of Diesel Engine
4 Stroke
2 Stroke
where the air/fuel mixture is taken into the combustion chamber
Intake-stroke
where the gases are squeezed by the momentum of the piston
Compression Stroke
where the spark plug fires and the gases are ignited
Power Stroke
where the piston comes back up, pushing the spent gases out of the combustion chamber
Exhaust Stroke
combines the intake and exhaust strokes into the power stroke from the four-stroke engine which requires only one stroke each of up and down to complete the cycle
2 Stroke
a part of an engine in which combustion of an oil takes place
Cylinder Block
fitted on top of a cylinder block and its function is to seal the working end of a cylinder and not to permit entry and exit of gases on cover head valves of an engine
Cylinder Head
a shaft which transmits the power developed by an engine to the various parts of the vehicle
Crankshaft
connects piston to the cannon shaft and transmits the motion and thrust of piston to crank shaft
Connecting Rod
used to control the inlet and exhaust of the internal combustion cylinder
Valves
placed in the cylinder and transmits thrust to the connecting rod, It transmits power to the crankshaft
Piston
hardened steel parallel spindles fitted through the piston bosses and the end bushes or eyes to allow the connecting rods to swivel it
Gudgeon Pins
provides the good sealing fit and less friction resistance between piston and cylinder
Piston Ring
used in spark ignition engine, It is fitted on the cylinder head and used to ignite the air fuel mixture inside the cylinder at the end of each compression stroke
Spark Plug
usually used in comression ignition engine, It sprays the fuel into combustion chamber at the end of compression stroke
Injector
main function is to supply the air fuel mixture and collects the exhaust gases equally from all cylinders,
Manifold
serves as the lubricating system
Crank Case
