Objective:
1. Understand working of Petrol and Diesel engine.
2. Evaluate difference between 4 stroke and 2 stroke engine.
3. Construction difference of CI and SI engine.
Theory:
Introduction:
Any machine, which derives heat energy from the combustion of fuel and converts part of this
energy in to mechanical work, is known as heat engine. Heat engines are mainly divided in to: external
combustion and internal combustion engines.
Steam engine falls under the category of external combustion engine where as internal
combustion engine (popularly known as I C Engine) are those engines in which the combustion of the fuel
takes place inside the engine cylinder. These are commonly used in trucks and buses, scooters and cars,
ships and locomotive, agriculture and earth moving machinery, many industrial applications and for
power generation.
Classification:
The I C Engines may be classified as follows:
1. According to the types of fuel used
2. According to the number of strokes
3. According to the cycle of operation
4. According to the method of ignition
5. According to the method of cooling
6. According to the method of governing
7. According to the speed of the engine
8. According to the arrangement of cylinder
Engine parts and their functions:
Frame, Cylinder and Cylinder Head, Piston, Connecting rod, Crank, Crankshaft, Valve gear
mechanism
Working of Four-stroke Petrol and Diesel engines:
Suction stroke:
During this stroke, inlet valve opens and exhaust valve is closed, the pressure in the cylinder will
be atmosphere. As the piston moves from TDC to BDC, the volume in the cylinder increase and pressure
decrease. This creates a pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside the cylinder. Due to this
pressure difference the petrol and air mixture (charge) in case of petrol engine and only air will enter into
the cylinder.
Compression stroke:
During this stroke, both the inlet valve and exhaust valve are closed, the piston moves from BDC
to TDC. In this stroke the charge or (air in case of diesel engine) will be compressed, so pressure and
temperature will increase.
Expansion stroke:
During this stroke, both the inlet valve and exhaust valve are closed, the piston moves from TDC
to BDC. The high pressure and high temperature burnt gases force the piston to perform this stroke,
called power stroke. This stroke is also known as expansion or working stroke. The engine produces
mechanical work or power during this stroke.
Exhaust stroke:
During this stroke, the inlet valve is closed and exhaust valve opens. The piston moves from BDC
to TDC and during this motion of the piston pushes the exhaust gases out of the cylinder at constant
pressure.
Working of Two-Stroke I.C. Engine:
In two-stroke engine, the cycle is completed in two stroke, i.e. all the four operations are completed
in two stroke of the piston or one revolution of the crankshaft. In two-stroke engine, ports (holes) replace
the valves. The movement of the piston controls the opening and closing of port. The exhaust gases are
removed from the cylinder with the help of fresh compressed charge and it is called scavenging. A specific
crown shape is given to the piston, which helps to prevent the loss of incoming charge and helps for
exhausting the hot gases effectively.
In case of single cylinder engines as used in scooter and motorcycle, three ports are provided as
exhaust, transfer and inlet. Through the exhaust port, the hot gases are pushed out. Through the transfer
port, the fresh charge from the bottom of the engine piston/crankcase is supplied to the cylinder and also
helps for exhaust. Through the inlet port, fresh charge from the carburetor is taken in to the cylinder
crankcase.

Theory:
Refrigeration is the process of cooling or reducing and maintaining the temperature of an
enclosed space below surrounding temperature. In order to maintain the low temperature of the
refrigerated space, it is necessary to remove heat continuously equal to the amount of heat leaking into
the system, rejecting the same to the surrounding atmosphere at higher temperature. The machine that
produces cold is known as “refrigerator.”. Theoretically, refrigerator is a reversed heat engine, or a heat
pump which pumps heat from a cold body and deliveries it to a hot body with the help of external work.
The working fluid used in refrigerator is known as refrigerant. It is mainly classified as Inorganic,
hydrocarbon (HC), hydro-fluorocarbons (HFC), hydro-chloro-fluorocarbon (HCFC), chloro-fluorocarbons
(CFC) and azeotrope. The commonly used refrigerants are Ammonia R-717(NH3), R-12 (CCl2F2), R-22
(CHClF2), R134a (C2H2F4) and R404A (R125/143a/134a {44/52/4}) and R410A (R32/125 {50/50})

Objective:
1. State the working of different types of Couplings clutches and brakes
2. Know the construction and operation of different types of couplings, clutches and brakes
3. Application of couplings clutches and brakes.
Theory:
Coupling:
Couplings are used for joining sections of long transmission shafts. They are also used for connecting the
shaft of a driving machine to the shaft of a separately built machine so as to give an effect of continuous
shaft.
The general classification of couplings is given as under:
COUPLINGS
Rigid Coupling Flexible coupling
Sleeve or Box or Split muff or Flange coupling
Muff Coupling clamp coupling
Bushed pin type Universal Old ham
Flange coupling coupling coupling
1. Rigid coupling
Rigid couplings are used to connect two shafts when they are in perfect axial alignment.
(a) Sleeve or Box or Muff coupling:
(b) Split muff or clamp coupling:
(c) Flange couplings:
2. Flexible coupling
These types of couplings are used to protect the driving and driven machines from effect of shocks
excesses stresses due to deflection and vibrations, which may arise from misalignment of shafts.
(a) Bush pin type flange coupling:
(b) Oldham coupling:
(c) Universal coupling:
Clutch:
The flow of mechanical power is controlled by means of a clutch. The clutch is a mechanical device, which
is used to connect or disconnect the source of power from the remaining parts of the power transmission
systems at the will of the operator. An automotive clutch can permit the engine to run without driving the
car. This is desirable when the engine is to be started or stopped or when the gears are to be shifted.
1. Single plate friction clutch
2. Multi disc clutch
3. Cone clutch
4. Centrifugal clutch
Brake:
A brake is a mechanical device by means of which artificial resistance is applied to a moving system or
machine in order to slow down or completely stop the motion of a machine. In performing this function,
the brake absorbs either kinetic energy of moving members such as rotating drum, machine, automobile
vehicle or potential energy given up by objects being lowered by hoists, elevators.
The energy absorbed by a brake is converted into heat energy and dissipated in the surroundings air.
There are two distinct functions of vehicle brakes.
To stop or slow down the vehicle in the shortest possible distance in emergencies.
To control the vehicle to be retained when descending a hill.
Types of brakes:
According to the means used for transforming the energy by the braking elements, the brakes are
classified as
(i) Hydraulic brake
(ii) Electric brake
(iii) Mechanical brake.
Depending upon the shape of the friction material the mechanical brakes are classified as block brake,
internal or external shoe brakes and band brakes.
1. Block brake
2. Internal expanding brake
3. Band brake
Materials for Brake Lining:
The materials used for brake lining should have,
(i) High co-efficient of friction with minimum fading
(ii) Low wear rate
(iii) High heat resistance
(iv) High heat dissipation capacity
(v) Adequate mechanical strength and
(vi) Should not be affected by moisture and oil. The materials commonly used are wood, leather and
asbestos.
Difference between a brake and a clutch:
1. A brake is used to reduce the rotational motion or to stop it, where as a clutch is used to transmit
the motion and power of a moving body to another body.
2. In brakes the applications of force results into frictional resistance whereas in clutches application
of force results into frictional force between clutch plates which helps them to transmit motion and
power.
3. During normal working conditions a brake always remains disengaged where as a clutch always
remains engaged.
4. When a brake is applied the energy of the moving member is lost in friction but in a clutch no such
loss occurs.

PRACTICAL 8: STUDY OF POWER TRANSMISSION DRIVES
Learning Objectives:
1. Know different power and motion transmission elements
2. Understand the different types of belts and ropes used in practice along with their material.
3. Understand the working of chain drive along with their advantages and disadvantages.
4. Know the different types of gear trains.
Theory:
Belt and Rope Drives:
To transmit the power from one shaft to another, pulleys are mounted on the two shafts. The pulleys are
then connected by an endless belt or rope passing over the pulleys. The connecting belt or rope is kept in
tension so that motion of one pulley is transferred to the other without slip. Varying the diameter of the
pulleys can vary the speed of the driven shaft.
Types of belt : Flat belt, V-belt, Circular belt or Rope
Type of flat belt drives : Open belt drive, Crossed or twisted belt drive
Chain drives:
To avoid slippage, steel chains are used. The chain is made up of a rigid links, which are hinged together
in order to provide the necessary flexibility for wrapping around the driving and driven wheels. The
wheels have projecting teeth and fit into the corresponding recesses, in the links of the chain.
The wheel and the chain are thus constrained to move together without slipping and ensure
perfect velocity ratio. The toothed wheels are known as sprocket wheels or simply sprockets. These
wheels resemble to spur gears.
Gear Trains:
A gear train is a combination of gears used to transmit motion and power from one shaft to another. It
becomes necessary when it is required to obtain large speed reduction with in a small space. The
following are main types of gear trains.
Simple gear train:
A pair of mating external gears always moves in opposite direction. All odd numbered gears move in one
direction and all even numbered gears move in opposite direction. Speed ratio is the ratio of the speed of
the driving to the driven shaft, is negative when the input and output gears rotate in opposite direction
and it is positive when the two rotate in same direction. Reciprocal of speed ratio is known as the train
valve of the gear train. All the gears can be in a straight line or arranged in zigzag manner.
Compound gear train:
When a series of gears are connected in such a way that two or more gears rotate about an axis with the
same angular velocity, it is known as compound gear train. In this type, some of the intermediate shafts,
i.e. other than the input and output shaft s, carry more than one gear.
Advantages of gear train:
1. It transmits exact velocity ratio.
2. It may be used to transmit large power.
3. It has high efficiency.
4. It has compact layout.
