a) i) Stroke – Distance travelled by piston from one dead Centre to other dead Centre (Say TDC to BDC). ii) Bore:- The nominal Inner diameter of engine cylinder is called cylinder bore. iii) Piston Speed- Distance traveled by piston in one minute.(= 2LN m/min.) iv) The Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) :-It is a fictitious pressure that, if it operated on the piston during the entire power stroke, would produce the same amount of net work as that produced during the actual cycle.

Morse Test

Morse test is a method to measure the frictional power of a multicylinder SI engine.

Morse Test – This test carried out on multi cylinder I.C. engine. In this test, first engine is allowed to run at constant speed and brake power of engine is measured when all cylinders are working and developing indicated power. (Considering Four cylinders)

Necessity of I.C. engine testing i) To get information, that is not possible to be determine by calculations. ii) To confirm the validity of data used while designing the engine. iii) To satisfy the customer as to rated power with guarantied fuel consumption. iv) To reduce the cost and to improve the power output and reliability of an engine. v) To know & improve the performance of an engine. Test carried out on I.C.

(1) Detergents – To keep engine parts, such as piston and piston rings, clean & free from deposits. (2) Dispersants – To suspend & disperse material that could form varnishes, sludge etc that clog the engine. (3) Anti – wear – To give added strength & prevent wear of heavily loaded surfaces such as crank shaft rods & main bearings. (4) Corrosion inhibitors – To fight the rust wear caused by acids moisture. Protect vital steel & iron parts from rust & corrosion.
