Part 2: Identify the engine components on your table and describe their function in the engine.
A)
Connecting rod An essential part of any reciprocating engine, particularly those used in aircraft, is the
connecting rod. Its main purpose is to join the piston and crankshaft. The connecting rod converts the linear motion of the piston's up-and-down movements within the cylinder caused by combustion into rotary motion at the crankshaft.
B) Piston
A cylindrical part that travels up and down inside the engine cylinder is called the piston. Its main purpose is to transform the mechanical motion produced by fuel combustion into pressure.
C)
Pushing rod Some internal combustion engines, especially those with an overhead valve (OHV) design, contain a pushrod as a component. It oversees transferring motion from the engine block's camshaft to regulate the engine's valves' opening and closing.
D) Lifter An internal combustion engine part that is essential to the valvetrain system is called a lifter, sometimes referred to as a hydraulic lifter or a valve lifter. Its principal job is to transmit motion from the camshaft to the pushrods or to the valve directly, causing the engine's valves to open and close.
E)
Spark Plug
An internal combustion engine's ignition system depends heavily on the spark plug. Its main job is to provide an electric spark that ignites the engine's combustion chamber's air-fuel mixture.
F)
Rocker arm
One part of an internal combustion engine's valvetrain is the rocker arm. Its main job is to transfer motion from the camshaft to the engine's valves, making it easier for the valves to open and close when the engine is running.

designed to including two engines.
However, these engines of this set
have been exposed to crashes
during traveling from Baghdad to
Bucharest. Therefore, it landed at
Istanbul airport for maintenance.
The maintenance proposed led to
changing the full network of these
engines by four engines only of
Model A380. Is it the right decision?

During intake scavenging, 65% of the incoming air-fuel mixture gets trapped in the cylinder, while 35% of it is lost with the exhaust be fore the exhaust port closes. Combustion efficie ncy n = 0.94. Calculate: (a) Brake specific fuel consumption. [gm/kW-hr] (b) Average piston speed. [m/sec] (c) Unburned fuel exhausted to atmosphere. [gm/min] (d) Torque. [N-m]arrow_forwardAs a mechanical engineer, you were asked by your supervisor to monitor the operation of 4-stroke engine; as a result you got the following readings: > Imep = 780 kN/ m2 > Engine speed = 800 rpm > Brake Power 30 kW %3D %3D > nm = 85 % > B/S 0.7 You noticed also, that the inlet valve opens 10° before TDC and closes40° after BDC and it takes 0.0035 second after ignition for the charge to gain maximum pressure. Depending on the above readings, find the following engine parameters: a. The crank angle when the spark occursfor the maximum pressure to be at TDC b. The time period in second of inlet valve opening during one cycle c. The diameter of the engine d. The average piston speed 1 Upload filearrow_forwardAirbus Model A350 has been designed to including two engines. However, these engines of this set have been exposed to crashes during traveling from Baghdad to Bucharest. Therefore, it landed at Istanbul airport for maintenance. The maintenance proposed led to changing the full network of these engines by four engines only of Model A380. Is it the right decision? What is your future advice to eliminate this case? * Your answerarrow_forward
