Turbojet engine

By : Asad Ali Arshad
Turbo Jet Engine
The turbojet is an air breathing jet engine, typically used in aircraft of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle. The gas turbine has an air inlet, a combustion chamber and a turbine. The compressed air from the compressed is heated by the fuel in the combustion chamber and then allowed to expand through the turbine. The turbine exhaust is then expanded in the propelling nozzle where it is accelerated to high.
It works on the basis of Newton’s third law of motion which stated that “action and reaction are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction”. The high speed thrust produce will act as action and in reaction the airplane moves in the forward direction.

Types of turbo Engines

·         Turbojet engine
·         Turbofan engine
·         Turbo propeller Engine
·         Ramjet Engine
·         Scramjet Engine
It works on the Brayton Cycle

Air Intake

The air is entered from the intake tube. It is subsonic air having low pressure and temperature which is then entered into the compressor.

Compressor

Compressor squeezes fresh air into engine. Initially the compressor ratio is 1:8 and nowadays the compressor can compress the air by 44:1. In the compressor the temperature and pressure of the air is increases.  After leaving the compressor air enters into the combustion chamber.

Combustion Chamber

The hot air from the compressor enters into the combustion chamber where it burns with the fuel and pass through the turbine continuously. The air-fuel mixture exhausted and produces high thrust which in reaction moves the airplane in the forward direction.

Turbines

Exhaust gases passes through the turbine rotating it like a wind mill. These are impulse turbine rotated because if the impact of the hot gas steam. Later stages are convergent ducts that accelerate the gas.





Afterburners

Afterburner is used in supersonic aircraft. It is a combustion chamber which is added to reheat the turbine exhaust gases. The fuel combustion is high typically four times more than that of the main engine.
 Merit and Demerits of turbojet engines are given below.

Steam Engine

By : Asad Ali Arshad

Steam Engine

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. Steam engine is external combustion engine in which the working fluid is separated from the combustion chambers. The ideal thermodynamics cycle used to analyze this process is called the Rankine Cycle. In this cycle water is heated and changes into steam in a boiler operating at a high pressure. When expanded using pistons or turbines mechanical work is done. The reduced pressure steam is then exhausted to the atmosphere, or condensed and pumped back into the boiler. The main parts of steam engine are Boiler, Motor Unit, Cold Sink, Water pump.

Rankine Cycle:






The Rankine cycle is the fundamental operating cycle of all power plants. The Rankine cycle operates in the following steps.
·         1-2-3 Isobaric Heat Addition.
High pressure liquid enters the boiler from the feed pump and is heated to the saturation temperature. Further addition of energy causes evaporation of the liquid until it is fully converted to saturated steam.
·         3-4 Isentropic Expansion:
The vapor is expanded in the turbine, thus producing work which may be converted to electricity. In practice the expansion is limited by the temperature of the cooling medium and by the erosion of the turbine blades.
·         4-5 Isobaric Heat Rejection:
The vapor liquid mixture leaving the turbine is condensed at low pressure, usually in a surface condenser using cooling water. In well designed and maintained condenser, the pressure of the vapour is well below atmospheric pressure, approaching the saturation pressure of the operating fluid at the cooling water temperature.
·         5-1 Isentropic Compression:
The pressure of the condensate is raised in the feed pump. Because of the low specific volume of liquid, the pump work is relatively small and often neglected in thermodynamics calculations.

 

Types of Steam Engine

According to the number of working stroke
  • ·         Single acting steam engine
  • ·         Double acting steam engine

According to the number of cylinder
  • ·         Simple steam engine
  • ·         Compound steam engine.

According to the types of exhaust
  • ·         Conducing steam engine
  • ·         Non-conducing steam engine.

According to the speed of crankshaft
  • ·         Slow, medium and high speed engine.

According to the field of application
  • ·         Stationary Engine.
  • ·         Local motive engine.
  •            Marine Engine.

Limitation of Steam Engine
The major limitations of a steam engine or external combustion engine are given below.
·         A steam engine is huge and heavy. Due to its big boiler and furnace a steam is huge, heavy and clumsy. Since the boiler of a steam engine is very heavy, therefore a steam engine cannot be used for running small vehicles like cars and buses.
·         A steam engine is unsafe to use. A steam engine is not very safe to use because its boiler can burst to excessive steam pressure,
·         A steam engine does not start at once. Before a steam engine can start, we have to build a coal fire to get steam. This process takes a long time and hence a steam engine cannot be started at a moment’s notice.
·         A steam engine has low efficiency.







Evaporation and Boiling

By : Asad Ali Arshad
Difference between Boiling and Evaporation:



Boiling

Evaporation

Takes place only at a particular temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Occurs spontaneously at all temperature. In all seasons whether it is winter or summer.
Involves the formation of bubbles of the vapour throughout the bulk of the liquid.
Takes place only at the surface of the liquid.
Also we can saw evaporation is a process in which a substance changes its state from the liquid state to gaseous state.
Evaporation is a process whereby the water is changing into vapour without boiling.
It is a quick process.
It is a slow process.
Bubbles are formed.
No bubbles are formed.
Occurs at a specific temperature.
Occurs at all temperature.
Source of energy needed.
Energy supplied by surrounding.

For the complete detail of this chapter download the given slides. The slides consists of complete description, diagrams and derivations. 
Rotodynamic Machinery in which a fluid flow freely through impeller or rotor.




  • the transfer of energy between fluid and rotor is continuous and
  • the change of Angular Momentum of the fluid causes, or is the result of Torque on rotor. 
This chapter covers the Basic Theory of Turbines and Compressor used in Steam Plant and Gas Turbine Plant.
Impulse Steam Turbine
  • Impulse Turbine 
  • Takes a high pressure, high-enthalpy fluid.
  • Expand it in a Fixed Nozzle. 
  • Steam coming out through a fixed nozzle at a very high velocity strikes the blades fixed on the periphery of a Rotor.
  • Blade change the direction of steam without changing its pressure.
  • Force due to change of momentum(by changing the direction) causes the rotation of the turbine shaft.
Fluid flowing through the wheel at a fixed mean radius, then the change of Linear Momentum tangential to the wheel gives a Tangential Force that causes the wheel to rotate. 
Assume initially that the fluid is able to enter or leave the wheel passage in the Tangential Direction with an Absolute Velocity at inlet Cai and an Absolute Exit, Cae.
For a fixed blade Cb=0.

Petrol's and Diesel Engines

By : Asad Ali Arshad

Petrol’s and Diesel Engines:


What is Engine? An engine is a machine that is designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical form.
The main parts of Engines:
Cam Shaft takes up and down motion of piston and converts it into rotating motion. Valves there are two types of value intake and exhaust as from the name intake value are used to transfer fuel inside the cylinders and exhaust value is used to exhaust the burning fuel outside to the environment. Engine head is the head of engine on which the spark plug in mounted. Spark plug is used to provide the spark in each cycle to burn the petrol (in petrol engine). Injector it sprays the fuel (used in diesel engine). Cylinders combustion is take place in cylinder. Piston oil control ring. Connecting Rod connects the piston and crankshaft. Crankshaft is used when the multiple pistons are used in an engine in order to convert the each piston up and down movement into rotation. Flywheel is attached with the gear train and delivers the power. Gear Train is used to increase or decrease the speed.
Important Terminologies we learn.
Internal Combustion Engine? is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs in a combustion chamber. External Combustion Engine? Is an engine in which the combustion takes place in an external source it is also known as heat engine. Top dead Center the furthest point of a piston's travel, at which it changes from an upward to a downward stroke. Bottom dead center the furthest point of a piston's near to crankshaft, at which it changes from downward to upward stroke. Stroke a stroke refers to the full travel of along the cylinder. Intake Stroke this stroke of the piston begins at top dead center. The piston descends from the top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder. A mixture of fuel and air is forced by atmosphere pressure into the cylinder through the intake port. Compression Stroke when both the intake and exhaust valves are closed, the piston returns to the top of the cylinder compressing the air or air-fuel mixture. Power Stroke while the piston is close to top death center, the compressed air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine is ignited, by a spark plug. The resulting pressure from the combustion of the compressed fuel-air mixture forces the piston back down toward the bottom dead center. Exhaust during the exhaust stroke piston once again returns to top dead center while the exhaust valve is open.


Four functions known as intake, compression, combustion and exhaust these four functions are required to produce a final power stroke. Without these function no internal combustion engine in the world can work whether it is a two strokes, four strokes or Wankel engine.
2 Stroke Engines is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle in only one crankshaft revolution and with two stroke, or up and down movements, in short it complete the above four functions intake, compression, combustion and exhaust in two stroke. Intake and compression in one stroke and combustion and exhaust in second stroke.
4 Stroke Engine is a type of internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes which comprise a single thermodynamics cycle.

Two Stroke Engines
Four Stroke Engines
It completes power cycle within two strokes.
It completes power cycle within four strokes.
In two strokes the end of the combustion stroke and beginning of the compression stroke take place simultaneously.
In four strokes the end of the combustion stroke occurs separately and beginning of the compression stroke occurs separately.
Two stroke engines have high power to weight ratio.
Four stroke engines have low power to weight ratio.
Two stroke engines have a greatly reduced number of moving parts and so can be more compact.
It has more parts.
Don’t have valve. It has ports.
Don’t have ports. It has valve.
Cheaper to construct.
Expensive to construct.
It is not fuel efficient.
It is fuel efficient as compared to two stroke.
Low life.
High life.

Which one is better?
At the end of the day the winner is probably going to be the one that has had more money and technology spent on it. In these days of quick and cheap international production schedules you can’t take it for granted that the 4 stroke will be better. So for a particular application, we should try to line up the options and make a decision based on what’s available, not based on lists that miss the key points of difference.

Petrol Engines
Diesel Engines
It works on Otto Cycle.
It works on diesel cycle.
§        In petrol engine the air and petrol are mixed in carburetor and it enters into the cylinder.
§   
In diesel engine the fuel is first fed into the cylinder by a fuel injector and then gets mixed with air inside the cylinder.
In petrol engine first the compression of air and petrol is done and then it is ignited by an electric spark.
In diesel engine only the charge of air is compressed and ignition is done by the heat of compressed air.
Its compression is low.
Its compression ratio is high.
In petrol engine we use spark plug for ignition.
In diesel engine we use injector for ignition.
Power developed is low due to low compression ratio.
Power developed is high due to high compression ratio.
The fuel that burns has high volatility.  
The fuel that burns has low volatility.
It used in light weight vehicles like in cars, motorcycles, scooters etc.
It used in heavy weight vehicles like in cars, motorcycles, scooters etc.
