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.

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...

Flywheel The flywheel is a disk or wheel attached to the crank, forming an inertial mass that stores rotational energy. In engines with only a single cylinder the flywheel is essential to carry energy over the power stroke into a subsequent compression stroke.   Flywheel mostly present in reciprocating engines to smooth out the power delivery over each rotation of the crank and in most automotive engines also mounts a gear ring for a starter. The rotational inertia of the flywheel also allows a much slower minimum unloaded speed and also improves the smoothness at idle .the flywheel may also perform a part of the balancing of the system and so by itself be out of balance although most engines will use a neutral balance for the fly wheel ,enabling it to be balance in a separate operation. The flywheel is also used as a mounting for the clutch or a torque converter in most automotive applications. Material Flywheel   are typically made by steel and also carbon fiber is u...

http://en.wikipedia.org CRANKCASE         The main body of the engine to which the cylinder are attached and which contains the crankshaft and crankshaft bearings is called crankcase.This members also holds other parts in alignment and resists the explosion and intertia forces.It also protects the parts from dirt etc. In the crankcase only the engine oil are stored in self lubricate syst em the crankcase play an important role the scoop used for splashing to the engive wall are taking oil from the crankcase only so I play a majore role in lubrication system      Crankcase forming an engine block ,crankcase  are the basic engine structural component   crankcase often has an opening in the bottom to which an oil pan is attached a gasketed bolted joint. Material used for crankcase  Material which is used for making crankcase are engine block mostly cast aluminium crankcase are made via sand casting ...

CRANKSHAFT In my all post I’m telling that this the major part you definitely get bored of this now also I’m going to say the same line crankshaft another major part in the engine but in this post bit I’m going to some technical words so you can understand better the mechanism and parts description .Crankshaft part which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion .This motion of the piston is transmitted to the crank by the connecting rod. The crank shaft subjected to the torsional and bending stresses and is supported on the crankcase structure on large bearing .These crankshaft bearings are known as main bearings. The number of bearings varies depending on the dynamic load on it. For example a four-cylinder engine crank case may have two, three or five bearings. Parts in crankshaft Crankshaft contains many parts they are   crankpins, crank arms, crank journals, and driving ends the crankshaft attached to the fly wheel to reduce the pulsation char...

Connecting Rod Connecting rod in name itself you can understand it connect something that something is nothing but it connects the piston and the crankshaft and also its called as Conrod .Main purpose of the connecting rod was converting the reciprocating motion into rotary motion getting reciprocating motion from the piston and giving rotary motion to the crankshaft .Its is rigid ,it may transmit either push and pull i.e. pushing and pulling done on the piston Construction Major parts in the connecting rod is big eye end and small eye end, small end attaches to the the piston pin or gudgeon pin, the big end connected with the crankshaft ,the between the big end and crankshaft the bearings are placed Material used Connecting rod is the back bone for the engine if it breaks engine doesn’t work it stops suddenly   so connecting rod has to be rigid for that reason the material has to be chosen mostly connecting rod made by steel only but now a days its made by T6-2024 and ...

  Engine Piston Piston located inside the engine cylinder, it the major part of the engine   piston movement was reciprocating   motion it converts the pressure into a rotating motion it present in all type of engines external combustion engine,external combustion engine,steam engine etc… piston may be one or more according to engine type and size of the engine purpose of the piston was completing all the strokes of the engine in efficient manner example there are many types of strokes like 2 stroke ,4 stroke 6 stroke etc…. How Piston Works? Piston located in the combustion chamber when the combustion take place it happens above the piston head only during the combustion   the gases got expand pushing the piston to the bottom from the head   the power of pushing going to the shaft which the piston is connected over it the shaft is called crankshaft   its main work was converting reciprocating motion into rotary motion ,after reaching the bottom the ...
