  • Jennings: Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook
    Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s copy of the ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” and used it and tips from “Fast by Gast” to create one fast bike. John kept his 500 until he retired and moved to the coast in 2005. The whereabouts of Wild Jim, his 750 Kawasaki drag bike and the only copy of ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” that I have ever seen is a complete mystery. I recently acquired a 1980 Polaris TXL and am digging into the inner workings of the engine. I wanted a copy of this manual but wasn’t willing to wait for a copy to show up on EBay. Happily, a search of the internet finally hit on a Word version of the manual.

  • Numerical Analysis of the Forces on the Components of a Direct Diesel Engine
    applied sciences Article Numerical Analysis of the Forces on the Components of a Direct Diesel Engine Dung Viet Nguyen and Vinh Nguyen Duy * Modelling and Simulation Institute—Viettel Research and Development Institute, 100000 Hanoi, Vietnam; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +84-985-814-118 Received: 16 April 2018; Accepted: 8 May 2018; Published: 11 May 2018 Abstract: This research introduces a method to model the operation of internal combustion engines in order to analyze the forces on the rod, crankshaft, and piston of the test engine. To complete this research, an experiment was conducted to measure the in-cylinder pressure profile. In addition, this research also modelled the friction forces caused by the piston and piston-ring movements inside the cylinder for calculating the net forces experienced by the test engine. The results showed that the net forces change according to the crank angle and reach a maximum value near the top dead center. Consequently, we needed to concentrate on analyzing the stress of the crankshaft, rod, and piston at these positions. The research results are the foundation for optimizing the design of these components and provide a method for extending the operating lifetime of internal combustion engines in real operating experiments. Keywords: internal combustion engine; mechanical stress; fine element method; friction force; in-cylinder pressure 1. Introduction In the operation of internal combustion engines, the rod, crankshaft, and piston play crucial roles as they are considered the heart of engines. However, these components always operate in critical operating conditions, such as under very high thermal and mechanical stresses [1–5].
