  • History of a Forgotten Engine Alex Cannella, News Editor
    POWER PLAY History of a Forgotten Engine Alex Cannella, News Editor In 2017, there’s more variety to be found un- der the hood of a car than ever. Electric, hybrid and internal combustion engines all sit next to a range of trans- mission types, creating an ever-increasingly complex evolu- tionary web of technology choices for what we put into our automobiles. But every evolutionary tree has a few dead end branches that ended up never going anywhere. One such branch has an interesting and somewhat storied history, but it’s a history that’s been largely forgotten outside of columns describing quirky engineering marvels like this one. The sleeve-valve engine was an invention that came at the turn of the 20th century and saw scattered use between its inception and World War II. But afterwards, it fell into obscurity, outpaced (By Andy Dingley (scanner) - Scan from The Autocar (Ninth edition, circa 1919) Autocar Handbook, London: Iliffe & Sons., pp. p. 38,fig. 21, Public Domain, by the poppet valves we use in engines today that, ironically, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8771152) it was initially developed to replace.

  • Feeling Joules and Watts
    FEELING JOULES AND WATTS OVERVIEW & PURPOSE Power was originally measured in horsepower – literally the number of horses it took to do a particular amount of work. James Watt developed this term in the 18th century to compare the output of steam engines to the power of draft horses. This allowed people who used horses for work on a regular basis to have an intuitive understanding of power. 1 horsepower is about 746 watts. In this lab, you’ll learn about energy, work and power – including your own capacity to do work. Energy is the ability to do work. Without energy, nothing would grow, move, or ​ change. Work is using a force to move something over some distance. ​ ​ work = force x distance Energy and work are measured in joules. One joule equals the work done (or energy ​ ​ used) when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. One newton equals the ​ ​ force required to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared. How much energy would it take to lift a can of soda (weighing 4 newtons) up two meters? work = force x distance = 4N x 2m = 8 joules Whether you lift the can of soda quickly or slowly, you are doing 8 joules of work (using 8 joules of energy). It’s often helpful, though, to measure how quickly we are ​ ​ doing work (or using energy). Power is the amount of work (or energy used) in a given ​ ​ amount of time. http://www.rdcep.org/demo-collection page 1 work power = time Power is measured in watts. One watt equals one joule per second.

  • AP-42, Vol. I, 3.3: Gasoline and Diesel Industrial Engines
    3.3 Gasoline And Diesel Industrial Engines 3.3.1 General The engine category addressed by this section covers a wide variety of industrial applications of both gasoline and diesel internal combustion (IC) engines such as aerial lifts, fork lifts, mobile refrigeration units, generators, pumps, industrial sweepers/scrubbers, material handling equipment (such as conveyors), and portable well-drilling equipment. The three primary fuels for reciprocating IC engines are gasoline, diesel fuel oil (No.2), and natural gas. Gasoline is used primarily for mobile and portable engines. Diesel fuel oil is the most versatile fuel and is used in IC engines of all sizes. The rated power of these engines covers a rather substantial range, up to 250 horsepower (hp) for gasoline engines and up to 600 hp for diesel engines. (Diesel engines greater than 600 hp are covered in Section 3.4, "Large Stationary Diesel And All Stationary Dual-fuel Engines".) Understandably, substantial differences in engine duty cycles exist. It was necessary, therefore, to make reasonable assumptions concerning usage in order to formulate some of the emission factors. 3.3.2 Process Description All reciprocating IC engines operate by the same basic process. A combustible mixture is first compressed in a small volume between the head of a piston and its surrounding cylinder. The mixture is then ignited, and the resulting high-pressure products of combustion push the piston through the cylinder. This movement is converted from linear to rotary motion by a crankshaft. The piston returns, pushing out exhaust gases, and the cycle is repeated. There are 2 methods used for stationary reciprocating IC engines: compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition (SI).

  • Pto Torque and Horsepower Ratings
    PTO TORQUE AND HORSEPOWER RATINGS Intermittent service refers to an On-Off operation under load. If maximum HP and/or torque is used for extended periods of time, (5 min. or more every 15 min.) this is considered “Continuous Service” and HP rating of PTO should be reduced by multiplying intermittent value below by .70. Applications with PTO output shaft speeds above 2,000 RPM, regardless of duration, are to be considered “Continuous” duty. MAX rated output shaft speed for all Muncie Power PTOs is 2,500 RPM. Fire Pump applications are calculated within a different category listed on page 3 and are derated by multiplying intermittent value below by .80. Below is a chart showing the Intermittent and calculated continuous Torque rating of the PTOs included in this catalog. The Application pages may have lower ratings for these PTOs listed. The Application page rating may be adjusted to limit the PTO output to a rating which will not exceed the transmission manufacturers rating. The transmission manufacturer does not differentiate between Intermittent and Continuous; therefore, the Application page rating is never to be exceeded. Refer to this page when there is a question of the rating (Intermittent or Continuous) for the PTO as it is manufactured. PTO SERIES SPEED RATIO INTERMITTENT HP@1000 RPM INTERMITTENT TORQUE LBS.FT.
