ASSIGNMENT

1. The length of crank and connecting rod of a horizontal engine has 200 mm and 1 m respectively. The
crank is rotating at 400 rpm. When the crank has turned through 30° from the inner dead centre, the
difference of pressure between cover and piston rod is 0.4 N/mm2. If the mass of the reciprocating
parts is 100 kg and cylinder bore is 0.4 metre, then calculate
Inertia force and force on piston
Piston effort and thrust on the sides of the cylinder walls
Thrust on the connecting rod and crank effort

2. The crank and connecting rod of a vertical petrol engine, running at 1800 rpm are 60 mm and 270
mm respectively. The diameter of the piston is 100 mm and the mass of the reciprocating parts is 1.2
kg. During the expansion stroke when the crank has turned 20º from the top dead center, the gas
pressure is 650 kN/m². Determine the,
Net force on the piston and net load on the gudgeon pin.
Thrust on the cylinder walls.
Speed at which the gudgeon pin load is reversed in direction.
