Study of different systems will consist of the following. Very brief description with
neat sketches ( cutting and pasting is allowed) is expected.
Cycle-1
1. Engine - system and its components: transmission, electrical, lubricating
and cooling system.
4stroke and 2stroke engine, schematic (S.I / C.I), T-D diagrams, valve
timing, cam operation, cylinder configurations, piston/cylinder, crankshaft,
camshaft, gear mechanism, clutch unit, propeller shaft, universal joint,
differential etc
Battery & circuit, starter motor and battery charging motor/dynamo.
Fuel & Ignition system: carburetor, spark plug, ignition coil and ignition
circuit, distributer
Fuel pump, fuel injector, recent developments - MPFI and CRDI systems
Lubricating system and Cooling system
2. Different types of loading Dynamometers : Hydraulic, eddy current, DC/AC
generator, brake drum etc
Cycle-2
3. Turbines ( Pelton, Kaplan and Francis) system and its components: Jet,
Casing, Impeller, Vanes, Draft Tube etc.
4. Pumps (centrifugal and reciprocating min.) system and its components:
Casing, Impeller, Diffuser etc.
5. Piping system and components
