The following data is given for a four-stroke diesel engine:

Cylinder bore = 250 mm

Length of stroke = 300 mm
Speed = 600 rpm
Indicated mean effective pressure = 0.6 MPa
Mechanical efficiency = 80%
Maximum gas pressure = 4 MPa
Fuel consumption = 0.25 kg per BP per h
Higher calorific value of fuel = 44 000 kJ/kg

Assume that 5% of the total heat developed in the cylinder is transmitted by the
piston. The piston is made of grey cast iron FG 200 (Sut = 200 N/mm2 and k =
46.6 W/m/°C) and the factor of safety is 5. The temperature difference between
the centre and the edge of the piston head is 220°C.

1. Calculate the thickness of piston head by strength consideration.

2. Calculate the thickness of piston head by thermal consideration.
3. Which criterion decides the thickness of piston head?
4. State whether the ribs are required.
5. If so, calculate the number and thickness of piston ribs.
The following data is given for the connecting rod of a diesel engine:

Cylinder bore = 85 mm
Length of connecting rod = 350 mm
Maximum gas pressure = 3 MPa
Factor of safety against buckling failure = 5
(l/d) ratio for piston pin bearing = 1.5

It is required to design a pair of spur gears with 20° full-depth involute teeth
based on the Lewis equation. The velocity factor is to be used to account for
dynamic load. The pinion shaft is connected to a 10 kW, 1440 rpm motor. The
4 CO5 PO2 C starting torque of the motor is 150% of the rated torque. The speed reduction 10
is 4 : 1. The pinion as well as the gear is2made of plain carbon steel 40C8 (Sut
= 600 N/mm ). The factor of safety can be taken as 1.5. Design the gears,
specify their dimensions and suggest suitable surface hardness for the gears.
 A pair of bevel gears, with 20° pressure angle, consists of a 20 teeth pinion
meshing with a 30 teeth gear. The module is 4 mm, while the face width is 20
mm. The material for the pinion and gear is steel 50C4 (Sut = 750 N/mm2).
5 CO5 PO2 E The gear teeth are lapped and ground (Class-3) and the surface hardness is 10
400 BHN. The pinion rotates at 500 rpm and receives 2.5 kW power from the
electric motor. The starting torque of the motor is 150% of the rated torque.
Determine the factor of safety against bending failure and against pitting
failure.
