What is detonation?

What is detonation? Detonation : At present the amount of power that can be developed in the cylinder of a petrol engine is fixed by the liability of a fuel to detonate, just before the flame has completed its course across the combustion   chamber and remaining unburnt charge fires throughout its mass spontaneously without external assistance. The result is a tremendously rapid and increase in pressure which sets up pressure waves that hit the cylinder walls with such violence that the walls emit a sound like a ping. It is the ping that   manifests detonation. Thus a very sudden rise of pressure during combustion accompanied by metallic hammer like sound is called detonation. The region in which detonation occurs is farthest removed from the sparking plug , and is named the detonation zone and even with severe detonation this zone is rarely more than one quarter the clearance volume.

What is per-ignition????

What is per-ignition???? Pre-ignition:         Is the ignition of the homogeneous mixture in the cylinder, before the timed ignition spark occurs, caused by the local overheating of the combustible mixture? For premature ignition of any local hot-spot to occur in advance of the timed spark on the combustion stroke it must attain a minimum temperature of something like 700-800 degree centigrade. ·          Pre-ignition is initiated by some overheated projecting part such as the sparking plug electrodes, exhaust valve head , metal corners in the combustion chamber, carbon deposits or protruding cylinder head gasket rim ·          However, pre-ignition is also caused by persistent detonating pressure shock waves scoring away the stagnant gases which normally protect the combustion chamber walls. The resulting increased heat flow through the walls raises t...

First car in INDIA

First car in INDIA : Germany is the birth place of the automobile. It was invented there, it went through its first paces there and it was developed there to a high level of technical maturity. The list of German automobile pioneers is a long one. Starting with Nicholas cugnot, august Otto, Carl Benz, gottlieb Daimler, wilheln maybach and Rudolf diesel and going all the way up to Ferdinand posche and Felin wankel. First car came to India as an imported car because those days German only leading in car manufacturing those day in India we used only bulk cart for transport purpose and that also used buy rich peoples in those days travelling are very difficult in case of emergency also no other go for people they used to go with the help of horse wagon because compare to bull horse was speed  In India the first motor car appeared in 1897. For about 50 years from 1897, India was an importer of automobiles. The late Bharat Ratna sir M.Vivesvaraya made an automobile in...

How Automobiles Are classified?

google How to classify Automobiles? Automobile is a self propelled vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine and is used for transportation of passengers and goods on ground. Examples: Bus, car, jeep, truck, tractor, scooter, motor cycle. CLASSIFICATION OF AUTOMOBILES:      Automobiles can be classified with different regards which are as under:   1. Purpose (i) Passenger carriers (ii) Goods carriers 2. Fuel used: (i) Petrol vehicle (ii) Diesel vehicle (iii) Gas vehicle (iv) Electric (v) Steam 3. Capacity 1. HTV (HEAVY TRANSPORT VEHICLES) 2. LTV (LIGHT MOTOR VEHICLE) 3. LMV (LIGHT MOTOR VEHICLE) 4. Medium vehicle 4. Construction: 1. Single unit vehicle 2. Articulated vehicle and tractors 5. Drive: 1. Left hand drive 2. Right hand drive 3. Fluid drive 6. Wheel and axle: 1. Two wheeler 2. Three wheeler 3. Four wheeler (4x2) and (4x4) 4. Six wheeler (6x2) and (6x4) 7. Suspension system: 1. Conven...

Comparison Between a Petrol Engine and A Diesel Engine:

Comparison Between a Petrol Engine and A Diesel Engine: In this post the information is purely based on exam point of view for the students struggling for the answer for the above topic Petrol engine: 1 Air petrol mixture is sucked in the engine cylinder during suction stroke. 2 Spark-plug is used. 3 Power is produced by spark ignition. 4 Thermal efficiency up to 25% 5 Occupies less space. 6   More running cost. 7   Light in weight. 8 Fuel costlier. 9 Petrol being volatile is dangerous. 1 Pre ignition possible. 1 Works on otto cycle. 1 Less dependable. 1 Used in cars and motor cycles. Diesel engine:   Only air is sucked during suction stroke.     Employs an injector. 3 Power is produced by compression ignition. 4 Thermal efficiency up to 40%. 5 Occupies more space. 6 Less running cost.   Heavy in weight. 8 Fuel cheaper. 9 Diesel is non dangerous as it is non volatile. 1 Pre ignition not...
