Understanding battery used in automobiles
by
in AutomobileAs automotive engines require electrical power to rotate their starter motor, the battery must be employed. it is a rechargeable battery that is used to supply electrical current to a vehicle’s electrical components. apart from starting the engine, it’s one of the major components of an automobile charging system, as it stores currently for further…
Understanding fuel injection system in automobile engines
by
in AutomobileDo you know how fuel is supplied into the combustion chamber in automobile engines? Am sure you not thinking of a carburetor but a fuel injector. They are now bygone most especially for internal combustion engines. An effective process used is known as a fuel injection system. Fuel injection is the introduction of fuel in…
Understanding Wet and Dry Oil Sump System
by
in AutomobileDo you really have basic knowledge of the engine lubrication system, if so, you are familiar with the term oil sump? The basic types are the wet and dry sump which is your purpose here today. The part is a metal dish that covers the bottom of the engine block. It serves as a reservoir…
Major parts of pistons and their functions
by
in AutomobilePiston parts work together for the transformation of heat energy into mechanical work and vice versa. It moves upward and downward inside the cylinder in order to expand and contracts the air-fuel mixture. For this reason, a piston is inevitable in an internal combustion engine. Today we’ll be going deep into the major components of…
Understanding the working of flywheel
by
in AutomobileA flywheel is one of the most important components of an automobile engine. It’s a mechanical device that is specifically designed for storing rotational energy (kinetic energy). It’s proportional to the square of its rotational speed and mass. What is a flywheel? A flywheel as a weighty wheel requires enough force to rotate on its…
Working and effectiveness of a propeller shaft
by
in AutomobileA propeller shaft is a component in automobile engines that transmit power from the gearbox to the differential. it is also used in a boat and flying machine. The shaft is also known as a driveshaft, driving shaft, tail shaft, or even Cardan shaft. What is a Propeller Shaft? Propeller shafts are also said to…
Everything you need to know about mechanical spring
by
in MetalworkSpring of different types are common materials seen in applications in our daily life. It is an elastic object that stores mechanical energy. It’s of different kinds, and designs and is used for various purposes. The term which is often refers to coil springs. Conventional springs from a resting position exert an opposing force when…
Difference between 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines
by
in AutomobileIf you look around almost all mechanical devices are powered by either 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines. These two engines have an effective role in our daily lives, from the transportation aspect to the small portable devices they power. Though these engines are both internal combustion, their working principle is totally different. The existence of 2…
Applications, Pros and Cons of Two-Stroke Engines
by
in AutomobileTwo-stroke engines tend not to be common with the four-stroke engines, because it is designed to power small devices. Unlike the four-stroke that powers almost every car and truck on the road today. It is important to know what differentiates these engines, which have been clearly examined in another article. The purpose of the post…
Understanding two-stroke diesel and gasoline engines
by
in AutomobileTwo-stroke, which are known as two-cycle engines are types of internal combustion engines that work differently from four-stroke engines. In this situation, it takes two strokes to complete a power cycle. That is, the upward and downward movements of the piston are one revolution of the crankshaft. The dissimilarity with the four-stroke engine is that…
Applications, advantages and disadvantages of petrol engines
by
in AutomobilePetrol engines are popular types of internal combustion engines widely used for decades. It mixes fuel and air after compression. However, modern petrol engines now use a cylinder-direct petrol injection. In this gasoline engine, pre-mixing was formerly done in a carburettor, due to the improvement of technology, everything is changing, as it is now done…
Understanding four-stroke engines
by
in AutomobileFour-stroke engines are the most common internal combustion engine used in automobiles, like trucks, cars, and some modern motorbikes (most motorbikes work with a two-stroke engine.. Four-stroke is known as the combustion cycle. It occurs during the combustion process in the internal part of an engine. A four-stroke engine transfers power stroke for every two…
Difference between petrol and diesel engine
by
in AutomobileIt’s common on our street roads today to see vehicles carrying either petrol engines or diesel engines. these two types of automobile engines are the conventional types even though one exists before the other. Even with the vast usage of the two most drivers confuse the difference and similarities between petrol and diesel engine. Well,…
Understanding diesel engine
by
in AutomobileThe diesel engine is one of the most effective and powerful engines when compared to that of a gasoline engine. Though it is the continuation of a gasoline engine. This article will give an understanding of diesel engines which includes, their definition, efficiency, history, working, and types. See some articles on automobile engines below! Diesel…
Understanding petrol engine
by
in AutomobileThe word petrol sounds quite popular in terms of usage in a vehicle. Most people don’t understand how and what it takes for an engine to move via petrol, thus it’s named “Petrol Engine”. This article will be exposing you to the definition, working, efficiency, history, diagram, and components of a petrol engine. You’ll also…
Car Engine Cylinder Configurations
by
in AutomobileThe earlier development of engines works on the number of cylinders, meaning the more cylinders the greater the performance. Well, that’s for the earliest development. But that’s no longer true ever since the development of turbochargers and fuel injection systems, making cars with fewer cylinders perform better than cars with larger engines. Note this, whether…
Understanding engine configuration
by
in AutomobileThe engine configuration outlines the basic operating principles used to classify internal combustion engines. A piston engine’s cylinder configuration, valves, and camshafts are frequently used to classify them. The number of rotors in a given Wankel engine is frequently used to categorize them. Turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and turboshafts are common categories for gas turbine engines.…
