Q

principles of refrigeration

A

The process of cooling or reducing the temperature of a substance below that of the
surrounding atmosphere and maintaining this lower temperature within the boundary of a
given space is called refrigeration.

In order to keep the substance cold, heat must be continuously removed from the given
substance.

According to the law of thermodynamics, heat naturally flows from a hot substance to a cold
substance. But if heat has to flow from a cold substance to a hot substance, some form of work
has to be performed

Refrigeration works on the principle that heat is continuously extracted from the
low temperature substance by performing mechanical work. This heat is then
rejected to the surrounding atmosphere (high temperature level)

and about to move downwards. 0→1

The inlet valve is open exhaust valve is
closed
suction created by the motion of the piston towards the
BDC, the charge of fuel-air mixture is
drawn into the cylinder.

BDC the suction stroke
ends and the inlet valve closes instantaneously.

COMPRESSION
The charge taken into the cylinder during the suction stroke is
compressed by the return stroke of the piston 1→2.

both inlet and exhaust valves are closed

The mixture is now compressed the clearance volume.

end of the compression stroke the mixture is ignited with the
spark plug on the cylinder head.

EXPANSION/ POWER STROKE

high pressure of the burnt gases forces the piston towards the
BDC, (stroke 3→4).

Both the valves are in closed position.

power is produced. Both pressure and temperature decrease during expansion.
EXHAUST STROKE

At the end of the expansion stroke the exhaust valve opens instantaneously and the inlet valve remains closed.

The pressure falls to atmospheric level a part of the burnt gases
escape.

The piston starts moving from the bottom dead centre to top dead
centre (stroke 5→0) and sweeps the burnt gases out from the
cylinder almost at atmospheric pressure.
The exhaust valve closes when the piston reaches TDC.

EXHAUST STROKE

end of the expansion stroke ,exhaust valve opens and the inlet valve remains closed.

The pressure falls to atmospheric level a part of the burnt gases
escape.

A

COMPRESSION
during suction stroke, air, instead of a fuel-air mixture

higher compression ratios employed, the temp at the end of the compression
stroke is sufficiently high to self ignite the fuel which is injected
into the combustion chamber.

In CI engines, a high pressure fuel pump and an injector are provided to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber.

SUCTION STROKE
Air alone is inducted

Air is compressed into the clearance volume. Both valves remain closed

EXPANSION
Fuel injection starts nearly at the end of the compression stroke.

The rate of injection is such that combustion maintains the pressure constant in spite of
the piston movement on its expansion stroke increasing the volume

Heat is assumed to have been added at constant pressure.

After the injection of fuel is completed (i.e. after cut-off) the products of combustion
expand. Both the valves remain closed during the expansion stroke.

EXHAUST
The piston travelling from BDC to TDC pushes out the products of combustion.
The exhaust valve is open and the intake valve is closed during this stroke

the battery to propel the wheels via the motor and mechanical
transmission.

The electric motor can be used as a generator by absorbing the battery by regenerative braking or by absorbing power from the IC engine when its output is greater than required for the output for the wheels

30
Q

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) – Architectures
iii) Series - Parallel Architecture

what is the advantage of Series - Parallel Architecture

A

In the series-parallel hybrid, the configuration incorporates the
features of both the series and parallel HEVs.

However, this configuration needs an additional electric machine and
a planetary gear unit making the control complex.

ADV:This setup takes advantage of the strengths of both configurations to maximize efficiency, flexibility, and performance under different driving conditions.

City driving (low speeds): At low speeds or in stop-and-go traffic, a series hybrid mode is more efficient.

At higher speeds, the parallel hybrid mode is more efficient.

31
Q

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES (HEV)

difference between series and parallel hybrid

A

They have two complementary
drive systems: an IC engine with a fuel tank and an electric motor
with a battery.

HEVs cannot be recharged from the electricity grid – all their
energy comes from fuel and from regenerative braking.

difference between series and parallel hybrid:

parallel mode is used when both the electric motor and internal combustion engine (ICE) can provide power simultaneously, while series mode is used when the electric motor is the only source of mechanical power
