Air injection system (or) Air blast injection system


  • In this method, a blast of air along with the fuel is injected into the cylinder. Before injecting, the air is compressed tn I compressor to a high pressure at 70 bar .For this, normally three stage compressors are used. A fuel pump is driven by the engine itself.
  • The cam shaft operates the fuel pump through cam and the power required to rotate the cam shaft is taken from the main shaft of the engine through a set of gears and discharges a definite quantity of fuel into the injection valve.
  • In this method, a blast of air along with the fuel is injected into the cylinder. Before injecting, the air is   compressed tn I compressor to a high pressure at 70 bar F or this, normally three stage compressors are used. A fuel pump is driven by the engine itself.The earn shaft operates the fuel pump through cam and the power required to rotate the cam shaft ts taken from the main shaft of the engine through a set of gears and discharge: a definite quantity of fuel into the injection valve.
  • The injection valve is mechanically operated which delivers the fuel with a air blast into the combustion chamber. By varying the pressure of the injecting air, the rate of fuel supply into the combustion chamber can be controlled.
  • Since the compressor also driven by the engine, the compressor consumes 10% of the power developed by the engine and hence the net output of the engine is decreased.

Advantages

  •  Better automation and penetration of fuel can be achieved.
  •  Higher brake mean effective pressure can be developed.
  •  Use of inferior fuels is possible.

 Disadvantages

  • System is complicated and expensive. Size and cost of the compressor is very high.
  • Overall weight of the system is high 
  • Less net output of the engine.

Flux-cored arc welding

          Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW or FCA) is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process. FCAW requires a continuously-fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant-voltage or, less commonly, a constant-current welding power supply.   An externally supplied shielding gas is sometimes used, but often the flux itself is relied upon to generate the necessary protection from the atmosphere, producing both gaseous protection and liquid slag protecting the weld. The process is widely used in construction because of its high welding speed and it portability.

Injection Molding

Injection Molding   Injection machine  The injection machine is a machine that melt plasticize the molding material inside the heating  cylinder and inject this into the mold tool to create the molded product by solidifying inside it. The  injection machine is constructed of a mold clamping device that opens and closes the mold tool, and  device that plasticize and inject the molding material. There are several types in the injection  machine, and the difference is made by how these two devices are arranged.

working of breaking system in automobiles

Definition of automobile       brake system Actually, vehicle can be regard as energy conversion device, which transfers the momentum into heat, in other words, which transfers the kinetic energy into thermal energy. The brakes are used to reduce the speed of the vehicle, and the speed of conversion determines the rate of the vehicle slows down.
