A company uses a vacuum system to measure the bearing tolerances in an large-bore
conn The device fits on one cylinder at a time, Each cylinder has a 36 inch bore
the piston has a mass of 6,000 Ibm. Calculate the cylinder pressure that is
required to just lift the piston,
An early engine design has a single horizontal cylinder with a 3.2 ft bore, a9 fe
stroke, and no clearance volume. After a che of gunpowder is set off in the open
gylinder, the conditions in the cylinder are ambient pressure and a temperature of
540°F. The piston is now locked in position and the end of the cylinder closed. After
the gases cool to the piston is unlocked and allowed to move.
The stroke ‘temperature and occurs until the pressure reaches
ecquilbcta Assume the gas in the cylinder is air and the piston motion is
frictionless, If the ambient conditions are 70°F and 14,7 psia, calculate the possible
lifting force at the start of the power stroke, the length of the power stroke, and the
inder volume at the end of the power stroke, Also calculate the work if the
process is isentropic,
Heywood problems 1.1 and 1.2.
