 The internal combustion of an engine is

considered to be the heart of the automobile.

 They are defined as any engine that uses an

explosive combustion of fuel and air to push a
piston within a cylinder. Forming the repeating
cycle known as the strokes.

 Intake, Compression, Power Stroke, and Exhaust

are the four actions of one stroke.

 The difference between the two cycle and four

cycle engine is the number of strokes it uses to
start the fuel reaction of internal combustion.

 Diesel engines unlike gasoline do not need spark

plugs to ignite the fuel. Instead it uses
compression but undergoes the same principle of
a stroke.

 This starts at the

highest point known
as top dead center
and ends at bottom
dead center

 The intake stroke

allows the piston to
suck fuel and air into
the combustion
chamber through the
intake valve port.

 Compression starts at
bottom dead center
and ends at top dead
center.

 The second motion of

the stroke takes all
the fuel and air that
was stored and
compresses it into
one tenth its original
sizes. Making the
air/fuel mixture
increase in
temperature
preparing it for the
next stage in its
combustion cycle.

The power stroke
starts as soon as
the piston reaches
top dead center
allowing the spark
plug to ignite.

 This electric
current created by
the spark plug
ignites the fuel and
air mixture
sending the piston
back down the
cylinder with a
pressure reaching
high as 600 PSI.

The final stage of
the stroke releases
all the burned fuel
through the
exhaust valve.

 As the piston
moves from bottom
dead center to top
dead center it takes
all the burned fuel
and pushes it out
of the cylinder,
preparing it for the
next cycle of
strokes.

Diesel engines work on the same principle

as the two and four stroke engines. They do
not need a spark plug to ignite the fuel.
During the intake stroke, air does not mixed
with the fuel in the cylinder. Instead as the
air reaches high enough compression Fuel
is then sprayed into the cylinder creating
ignition. This pushes the piston down the
cylinder at a pressure of 500 PSI, starting
the stroke all over again.

Unit IV – Steam Nozzles

• A steam nozzle is a passage of varying cross –
section, which converts heat energy of steam into
kinetic energy.
• During the first part of the nozzle, the steam
increases in velocity. But later the steam gains
more in volume than velocity.
• Since the mass of steam, passing through any
section of the nozzle is constant the variation of
steam pressure in nozzle depends on the velocity,
specific volume , fraction of steam.
• A well designed nozzle produces a jet of steam
with very high velocity.

• The steam enters the nozzle with high pressure,

but with negligible velocity. In the converging
portion there is a drop in steam pressure with a
rise in velocity. There is also a drop in enthalpy or
total heat of steam.
• This drop in heat is also converted into kinetic
energy.
• The steam leaves the nozzle with high velocity
and small pressure. The pressure at which the
steam leaves the nozzle is known as back
pressure.
• There is no heat supplied or rejected in a nozzle.
Hence the flow is considered to be isentropic and
corresponding expansion is isentropic expansion.

Steam Turbines
• Steam turbine is a device which is used to convert
kinetic energy of steam into mechanical energy.
• In this, enthalpy of steam is first converted into
kinetic energy in nozzle or blade passages
• The high velocity steam impinges on the curved
blades and its direction of flow is changed.
• This causes a change of momentum and thus
force developed drives the turbine shaft
• The steam turbine has been used as a prime
mover in all steam power plants.

• In reaction turbine there is no sudden pressure drop.

There is a gradual pressure drop and takes place
continuously over the fixed and moving blades.
• A number of moving blades are fitted to the rotating
shaft. Fixed blades are provided in between such pairs
of moving blades
• The function of fixed blades is that they guide the
steam as well as allow it to expand in a larger velocity.
It is similar to that of nozzles as in impulse turbine
• The moving blade serves the following functions
• It converts the kinetic energy into useful mechanical
energy
• The steam expands in moving blades and gives reaction
to the moving blades

Compounding of turbines
• If expansion of steam from boiler pressure to
condenser pressure is carried out in a single stage
impulse turbine i.e. in one nozzle and set of moving
blades, the rotational speed of the rotor will be very
high. Around 30000 RPM. This will cause damage to
the rotating parts. Hence to prevent this ,the energy of
steam is absorbed in stages. This is known as
compounding of steam turbines.

• Advantages
Initial cost is less
Less space is required
The system is highly reliable and easy to start
Disadvantages
Frictional losses are high due to high initial velocity.
Hence efficiency is low
The ratio of blade velocity to steam velocity is not
optimum for all wheels. It also reduces the efficiency
The power developed in last rows is only a fraction of the
power developed in the first row. But, still the space
requirement of all the stages is the same.

• Pressure Compounding
In this method, a number of simple impulse
turbines are arranged in series.
It consists of one set of nozzles and one row of
moving blades.
The exhaust from each row of moving blades enters
the succeeding set of nozzles
Velocity of steam increases when it passes through
the nozzles and pressure drops.
Both velocity and pressure of steam decreases as it
passes through moving blades
The pressure is reduced in each stage, hence it is
called pressure compounding

• Pressure Velocity Compounding

This method is a combination of pressure and velocity
compounding.
The total pressure drop is carried out inn two stages and
velocity obtained in each stage is also compounded
Pressure is dropped in stages through nozzles
Velocity compounding is done by using a fixed blade
between every two moving blades
High pressure steam expands through first nozzles, enters
the first row of moving blades. In the nozzle the
pressure decreases and velocity increases. In the
moving blades the velocity is converted into work but
pressure remains constant

• Then steam enters the fixed blades and its direction changes.
There is no change in velocity and pressure in the fixed
blades. The steam then enters the second moving blades
where the velocity is again converted into work.
• Then steam enters the second set of nozzles where pressure is
again decreased and the process of doing work in two sets of
moving blades with a guide blade is continued.
• Thus the total pressure drop is obtained in nozzle sets and
velocity changes takes place through moving blades.
• This turbine combines the advantage of pressure and velocity
compounding. Since there is a large pressure drop in each
stage, less number of stages are used.
• This method is used in Curtis and Moore turbines.

Terminologies of Refrigeration
Refrigerating Effect (N): It is defined as the
quantity of heat extracted from a cold body or
space to be cooled in a given time.
N= Heat extracted from the cold space
Time taken
Specific Heat of water and ice : It is the quantity of
heat required to raise or lower the temperature of
one kg of water (or ice), through one kelvin or (10

Selecting Refrigerants
►Refrigerant selection is based on several
factors:
►Performance: provides adequate cooling
capacity cost-effectively.
►Safety: avoids hazards (i.e., toxicity).
►Environmental impact: minimizes harm to
stratospheric ozone layer and reduces
negative impact to global climate change.

Vapour Absorption Refrigerationsystem

In this system compression process of vapour

compression cycle is eliminated. Instead of that
the following three processes are carried out.
1. Absorbing ammonia vapour into water.
2. Pumping this solution to a high pressure cycle
3. Producing ammonia vapours from ammonia solution
by heating.
