Type of ignition systems in IC Engine

The ignition system is the most important part of the SI engine (Spark Ignition Engine). The ignition system an important system used in the Internal Combustion engine. Ignition system used to ignite air-fuel mixture at the proper time and in a well suitable manner with the wild range of engine speed.

Battery Coil Ignition System

  • The essential component of the battery ignition system is,
    • Battery 
    • Ignition switch
    • Distaibıde
    • Ignition coil with ballast resistor
    • Spark plus
  • The ignition switch provided connects and disconnects the ignition system from the berry so, the engine can be started or stopped.
  • When the ignition catch is on, the contact breaker points are closed, then the current to flow from the battery through the primary winding of the ignition back to the battery through earthing.
  • It developer o magnetic field across the primary winding of the ignition and inducer back which oppose the battery current.
  • A voltage is always induced in the secondary winding load but emf is too low to produce a spark. 
  • The resulting induced current still flows in the same direction as the battery current and it charges the condenser.
  • The flow of current is reversed when the battery voltage becomes less than the voltage across the condenser plates.

Magneto Ignition System

  • The principle of working of this system is similar to the battery coil ignition system, except that the magnetic field is primary and secondary winding introduced by rotating permanent magnet.
  • Magnet revolves around a rapid change of magnetic flux.
  • Magneto flux varies from a positive to maximum -ve and back up the rapid vibration of the magnetic field induced.
  • This rate of change of flux is not rapid enough to induce high voltage for sparking. Hence, the broker points condenser is provided into the circuit.

Quenching process

Quenching also called Hardening, is a heat treatment process in which steel is heated up to austenite temperature (above it's critical temperature), hold for some time and then cooled in water, oil or molten salt (rapid cooling). Due to rapid cooling, it results very hard structure - martensite (hardest form of Steel). fig.- steel component quench in oil. Due to hardening process hardness of steel increases and bitterness also increases. (brittleness increases hence hardened Steel nay not directly use). Quenching is always follow by tempering process. Due to rapid cooling in hardening process metal shape shrink, internal residual stresses are setup. That's the reason why hardening is follow by tempering.

What is heat treatment process ?

know the Heat Treatment...! Heat treatment is defined as the operations involving the heating and cooling of a metal or an alloy within a solid-state to obtain desire properties (physical or chemical) without change composition. The heat treatment process is carried out to change the grain size, modified the crystal structure of the material, and relieve the stress set up in the material after hot or cold working. Heat treatment also uses in many manufacturing processes, eg. glass working. The heat treatment process is performed in the furnace or oven with a controlling the environment of step-by-step heating and cooling within a specific period of time, apart from this the gases are used to control the furnace environment in some processes.  Fig.1 - Heat treatment process of gears Heat treatment consists of heating of metal near of above re-crystallization temperature of the material, hold for a particular time, and then finally cooling the metal in some medium which may be air, ...

Basic Fluid properties that every one should know

Various fluids can be differentiated by their fluid properties, some of the basic fluid properties are density, specific weight, specific gravity, viscosity & specific volume. Let's take a look at the properties of fluids one by one in detail. Fundamental knowledge of fluid properties is very essential to learn Fluid Mechanics (FM) subject. Properties of fluid Density or Mass Density Specific Weight or Weight Density Specific Volume Specific Gravity Viscosity 1. Density or Mass Density The density of the fluid can be defined as a ratio of the mass of fluid to the volume of fluid. Hence it can be call mass per unit volume. It is represented by a symbol ⍴ (rho) and the SI unit of density is kg/m³. Mathematically,   The density of water is taken as 1000 kg/m³ or 1 g/cm³. The density of a liquid is considered as constant with the variation of pressure and temperature. 2. Specific Weight or Weight Density The specific weight of fluid can be defined as the ratio of the weight of...
