  • Digital Twin and Triple Spark Ignition in Four- Stroke Internal Combustion Engines of Two- Wheelers
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) Digital Twin and Triple Spark Ignition in Four- Stroke Internal Combustion Engines of Two- Wheelers G.V.N.B.Prabhkar Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering B.Kiran Babu Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering K.Durga Prasad Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering Abstract - Today it is a common trend. It has become a fashion for the people especially living in urban areas to ride such vehicles. Now the companies even want to launch such vehicles that attract the younger generation. This can be achieved by technology known as DTSi. Due to DTSi (digital twin spark ignition) system it is possible to combine strong performance and fuel efficiency. The improved engine efficiency modes have also resulted in lowered fuel consumption. The efficiency of these small engines were enhanced with increased power output just by increasing the number of fuel igniting element i.e. Spark Plug. Spark ignition is one of the most vital systems of an engine. Any variation in the spark timing and number of sparks per minute affects the engine performance severely. Thus a good design and control of the system parameters becomes most essential for optimum performance of an engine. Due to Digital Twin Spark Ignition system it is possible to combine strong performance and higher fuel efficiency. DTSi offers many advantages over conventional mechanical spark ignition system.

  • Small Gasoline Engine Repair, Troubleshooting and Tips
    http://waterheatertimer.org Small Gasoline troubleshooting Engine Repair and Tips Three step approach Determine why a small engine will not start or run properly. Welcome to Find N Choose, your free information site. Fuel - Spark - Compression A gasoline engine needs the following three essentials to "run" In time problems develop with fuel delivery, spark or compression, it only takes one of these to fail to prevent an engine from starting or to run. The first step is to determine which of these is at fault. Three Step Trouble Shooting Spark Place the engine out of bright sunlight, remove the spark plug, reconnect the ignition wire to the spark plug and lie it on the engine head, or metal of the engine, where it makes a path to ground of the engine. Give the rope a tug and observe whether there is a good spark jumping the spark plug electrode gap. A good blue spark is ideal, If there is no spark, try changing the spark plug, and try this test again. No spark indicates ignition problems. 1 of 15 7/25/2011 5:35 PM Small Gasoline Engine Repair, Troubleshooting and Tips http://www3.telus.net/findNchoose/smallenginerepair.html Note the colors and sound to the spark. A fat blue spark that cracks audibly indicates a very good spark. A white spindly sparks indicates a problem in the spark producing mechanism (check grounding of spark coil first) A reddish sparks usually indicate burnt points, or a failing condenser. A weak spark may not ignite the fuel-air under compression. If there is a spark, the problem lies either in fuel delivery, or in the compression of the engine.

  • Technical Information on Considerations When Choosing and Operating a Spark-Plug Sensor Solution
    TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING AND OPERATING A SPARK-PLUG SENSOR SOLUTION This paper describes characteristics that must be considered when choosing the correct instrumented spark plugs to substitute for the original standard spark-plugs of an engine in order to allow reliable pressure measurements via the spark-plug bore. Electrode gap The integration of a pressure measurement function requires space inside the spark-plug body. This results in a smaller ceramic insulator for the spark-plug function, and therefore a lower arc-over resistivity. To compensate for the lower arc-over resistivity, the ignition voltage must be low enough to avoid damage to the unit. To reduce the ignition voltage, the Electrode Gap needs to be chosen wisely. This will ensure safe and long lasting operation of the unit. On the other hand, to avoid misfire and therefore insure proper ignition of the air-fuel mixture, the arc of the Electrode Gap requires a minimum length. Choosing this gap will require a tradeoff between a minimum suffi- cient size gap and engine operating condition versus risking an internal arc-over. The maximum Electrode Gap (EG) is determined by the Final Compression Pressure (FCP) from the compression stroke, as this is a convenient metric that is roughly proportional to the demand voltage required to jump the gap in the spark plug. It is neces- sary to match the spark-plug specifications exactly to have reliable firing of the engine and to insure that the demand voltage is not exceeding component limits to avoid permanent damage of the spark-plug sensor assembly.

  • Galling and Galling Resistance of Stainless Steels
    Stainless Steel Advisory Service Tel: 0114 267 1265 Fax 0114 266 1252 A service provided by the SSAS Information Sheet No.5.60 th British Stainless Steel Association Issue 02 12 March 2001 Page 1 of 1 Galling and Galling Resistance of Stainless Steels Introduction Galling, or cold welding as it is sometimes referred to as, is a form of severe adhesive wear. Adhesive wear occurs between two metal surfaces that are in relative motion to each other and under sufficient load to permit the transfers of material between themselves. This is a solid-phase welding process. The load must be sufficient, during relative motion, to disrupt the protective oxide layer covering surface asperities of the metal and permit metal to metal contact. Under high stress and poor lubrication conditions, stronger bonds may form over a larger surface area. Large fragments or surface protrusions may be formed and the result is galling of the surfaces. Severe galling can result in the seizure of metal components. Materials which are highly ductile or which possess low work-hardening rates tend to be prone to galling. Austenitic stainless steels show a tendency to gall under certain conditions. Factors Affecting Wear and Galling The factors affecting wear and galling are related to design, lubrication, environment, and steel properties. The material properties relevant to the issue of galling of stainless steels include: - • design tolerances and surface finish of the steel • surface properties (hardness) and structure of the steel • applied load • contact area and degree of movement. Design tolerances should provide sufficient clearance. The contact load on sliding components should be kept to a minimum, while the contact area should be maximised.
