    Uploaded by

    Asad Ullah
    This lab report summarizes the key components and functioning of a four-stroke diesel engine. It describes the main parts including the piston, crankshaft, camshaft, and fuel injector. The report explains how the engine works by compressing only air, injecting fuel which ignites due to high temperature, and using the torque to power vehicles and generators. Proper maintenance like coolant monitoring, cleaning, and filter changes are recommended to maximize engine performance.

    Four Stroke Diesel Engine

    Introduction:
    Diesel engine, any internal-combustion engine in which air is compressed to a
    sufficiently high temperature to ignite diesel fuel injected into the cylinder, where
    combustion and expansion actuate a piston. It converts the chemical energy stored in
    the fuel into mechanical energy, which can be used to power freight trucks, large
    tractors, locomotives, and marine vessels.

    Main Parts in figure 1 & 2:

    1
    1. Piston
    2. Piston rings
    3. Crankshaft
    4. Connecting rod
    5. Cam shaft
    6. Connecting pin
    7. Fuel Injector
    8. Air Filter
    9. Intel & Outlet valves
    Function Parts:
    1. Piston:
    It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by
    piston rings. In an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the
    cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod.
    2. Piston Rings:
    Piston rings maintain gas compression between the piston and the cylinder
    wall. Piston rings seal the cylinder so that combustion gas generated at the time of
    ignition does not leak into the opening between the piston and the cylinder.
    3. Crankshaft:
    The crankshaft is responsible for the proper operation of the engine and converting a
    linear motion to a rotational motion.
    4. Fuel Injector:
    The purpose of the fuel injection system is to deliver fuel into the engine cylinders,
    while precisely controlling the injection timing, fuel atomization, and
    other parameters.
    5. Inlet & Outlet valves:
    Intake valves are opened to allow the flow of an air/fuel mixture into the engine's
    cylinders prior to compression and ignition, while exhaust valves open to permit the
    expulsion of exhaust gases from the combustion process after ignition has occurred.
    6. Air filter:
    The air filter prevents any insects, dust, particles, sand or debris reaching the engine and
    ensures a good mixture of air and fuel to support performance.
    7. Camshaft:
    Cam shaft contains pointed cams, which converts rotational motion to reciprocal motion.
    Camshafts are used in internal combustion engines (to operate the intake and
    exhaust valves), mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed
    controllers.

    8. Fly Wheel:
    Flywheel, heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft so as to smooth out delivery of
    power from a motor to a machine. The inertia of the flywheel opposes and
    moderates fluctuations in the speed of the engine and stores the excess energy for
    intermittent use.
    9. Sink:
    A reservoir that supplies energy in the form of heat is called a source and one that absorbs
    energy in the form of heat is called a sink.
    Working:
     Diesel engines work by compressing only the air.
     This increases the air temperature inside the cylinder to such a high degree that
    atomized diesel fuel injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously.
     With the fuel being injected into the air just before combustion, the dispersion of
    the fuel is uneven; this is called a heterogeneous air-fuel mixture.
     The torque a diesel engine produces is controlled by manipulating the air-fuel
    ratio (λ); instead of throttling the intake air, the diesel engine relies on altering the
    amount of fuel that is injected, and the air-fuel ratio is usually high.
    Applications:
     Mechanical engines
     Power generators.
     Locomotives.
     Construction equipment.
     Automobiles.
     Countless industrial applications.
    Maintenance:
    Monitor Your Coolant.
    Keep It Clean. Keeping your diesel engine clean is very important for its
    preservation.
     Fuel Filter Changes.
     Effective Air Filters.
     Appropriate Oil Changes.
    Performance Factors:
     Fuel quality.
     The oil filter, air filter and fuel filter quality.
     Piston rings.
     Sink.
     Heat transfer rate.
     Piston Rings
