Cummins V903 Diesel Engine April 29, 2011 Sara Baker, Amanda, Felicia, Nhi, Reid Schrodle, Nic Kirk, Michael Sager
Introduction: The engine that we chose to create was the Cummins’s V903 Diesel Engine. This engine was for many years and up until recently was considered the ‘big dog” of diesel engines. This engine was used in the United States Army for many years and is just now starting to be phased out by a slightly bigger version of the engine that provides more power. The 903 was used in M1A1 Abrams tanks as well as many other military vehicles. This engine was, and is, used extensively in the marine environment on boats and barges. This engine is one that can be set to meet many high power standards. The Cummins V903 range with engines from 350 horsepower to 500 horsepower. This engine is an internal, 4 stroke, piston combustion engine. It operates off of the principle of alternating combustions that happen on pistons to drive a connecting rod to drive a crankshaft. This engine has a displacement of 9.6L

Conclusion: This engine drawing presented a lot of very difficult factors to over come. The main problems that were encountered throughout the project were communication and scaling. The communication was a huge factor and in a sense can be considered the only factor that effected our project. We started off with poor communication between people in the group and then things started to lag and get bogged down. With this, there was really no set parameters with respect to the scale that everyone needed to draw to. We started getting parts that were multiple sizes and not really knowing which would be best. This was fixed before it became a potentially larger problem. Action was taken swiftly to communicate to the group what our determined scale would be. That and was a huge undertaking that in the end fixed many problems and prevented more form occurring. The group fixed the bogging down problem by setting dates of priority. We got together and decided on when what needed to be done by when, and the order of priority.
