DETERMINATION OF VALVE TIMING OF AN INTERNAL

COMBUSTION ENGINE
AIM:
To determine the valve timing diagram of a given 4 stroke engine and to determine
the actual compression ratio and expansion ratio of the engine.

RESULT:
Thus the port time for the given two stroke engine is found out and the port timing
diagram is drawn.
Duration of suction stroke

= 207.46

Duration of compression stroke

= 161.21

Duration of expansion stroke

= 141.84

Duration of exhaust stroke

= 223.943

Overlap period

= 14.453

Actual Compression ratio

= 17:2:1
