The operation of the piston motor can best be understood by comparing it with a simple barrel. The gunpowder turns on. Gunpowder burns very quickly and when burned there is a rapid expansion of the resulting gases. This rapid expansion causes a tremendous increase in the pressure that forces the cannon ball.
Now the barrel of the barrel has been replaced by a cylinder and a combustion chamber. The barrel has been replaced by a piston. A mixture of vaporized fuel and air has replaced gunpowder. The piston force acting on a descending notion is of little immediate value if you want to rotate the wheels of a vehicle. To use this straight line or reciprocating motion, it must be transformed into rotary motion. This is possible thanks to the use of a crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to the driving wheels of a vehicle through the power train at one end. At the other end of the shaft is a crank with the acronym deviated from the center of the shaft.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book on "Internal Combustion Engines" has been written to thoroughly satisfy the requirements of various programs in this subject for B.E., B.Tech. B.Sc. (Eng.) Of several Indian universities. It is equally suitable for U.P.S.C. (General Services) and Section B - A.M.I.E. (India) Exams. The book contains 21 chapters in all and in "Objective Type Bank Questinos" at the end.
Outstanding Features
The presentation of the subject is very systematic and the language of the text is lucid, direct and easy to understand.
Each chapter of the book is saturated with much needed text supported by pure, self-explanatory diagrams to make the subject self-talk to a great extent.
A number of well-rounded, adequately qualified examples have been added in several chapters to allow students to try different types of questions in the exam without any difficulty.
At the end of each chapter stand out, objective type questions, theoretical questions and unresolved examples to make the book a complete unit in all respects.
