The valve timing analysis is one of the most important studies in IC engine development. Based on Valve timing analysis, engine performance, fuel requirement and stock timing can be studied and improved. the following experiment shows the study of valve timing study for petrol and diesel engine. EXPERIMENT NO: 01 AIM: To study valve timings for four-stroke petrol/Diesel Engines. APPARATUS: Models and cut sections of four-stroke petrol/Diesel Engine. Measuring tape Chalk Piece of paper Theory and Description: The diagram which shows the position of the crank of a four-stroke cycle engine at the beginning and at the end of suction, compression, expansion, and exhaust of the engine are called the Valve Timing Diagram. The extreme position of the bottom of the cylinder is called "Bottom Dead Centre". In the case of horizontal engines, this is known as "Outer Dead Centre". The position of the piston at the top of the cylinder is called "Top Dead Centre". In ...
