OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this lab is to know working of various IC Engines. In this lab the students can see various parts of different engines and physically and can understand the engine working in a better manner as compared to theoretical. By under going this lab the students will get enough confident about all the types of IC engines parts, so that they can rectify some sort of problems normally occurring in their automobiles.
On Completion of the Course, the student should be able to:
1. Appreciate the practical applications of Bomb calorimeter /Boy’s gas calorimeter
2. Appreciate the Mechanism of valve functioning in 4-stroke diesel engine
3. Appreciate the Mechanism of ports functioning in 2-stroke petrol engine
4. Understand the method of evaluating the performance characteristics of single cylinder diesel engine at different loads and draw the heat balance sheet
5. Understand the method of evaluating the performance characteristics of single cylinder petrol engine at different loads
6. Understand the method of finding the indicated power of individual cylinders of an engine by using morse test
7. Understand the method of evaluating the performance characteristics Multi stage air compressor
