HENSHALL B.Sc(Eng) C.Eng Genre: Textbook Publisher: IMarEST ISBN: 0 900976 7 99 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 126 Description: Energy is derived from natural sources such as coal, gas and oil. All release energy in the form of heat when united with oxygen by the process of combustion. Other thermodynamic processes include compression, expansion, cooling, evaporation and condensation. By combining certain of these processes and applying them to a working fluid, such as air or steam, cycles may be constructed which are capable of transforming heat energy into mechanical work. One such basic cycle is that of the internal combution engine. Internal combustion engines range in size from miniatures for model toy cars to 48,000 BHP giant diesel engines for marine propulsion. With practical fuels, combustion is started by bringing them into contact with the oxygen in air and raising their temperature locally to the point of ignition. In the familiar automobile engine the pas.sage of a spark provides ignition. In the diesel engine the charge of air in the cylinder is compressed to such a degree that its temperature is high enough to cause the fuel sprayed into the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke to ignite spontaneously. This distinctive feature of his engine was described by Dr. Rudolf Diesel in his patent of 1892.

Description: Energy is derived from natural sources such as coal, gas and oil. All
release energy in the form of heat when united with oxygen by the process
of combustion. Other thermodynamic processes include compression,
expansion, cooling, evaporation and condensation. By combining certain
of these processes and applying them to a working fluid, such as air or
steam, cycles may be constructed which are capable of transforming heat
energy into mechanical work. One such basic cycle is that of the internal
combution engine. Internal combustion engines range in size from
miniatures for model toy cars to 48,000 BHP giant diesel engines for
marine propulsion.
With practical fuels, combustion is started by bringing them into
contact with the oxygen in air and raising their temperature locally to the
point of ignition. In the familiar automobile engine the pas.sage of a spark
provides ignition. In the diesel engine the charge of air in the cylinder is
compressed to such a degree that its temperature is high enough to cause
the fuel sprayed into the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke to
ignite spontaneously. This distinctive feature of his engine was described
by Dr. Rudolf Diesel in his patent of 1892.
