Project #5
Aircraft Reciprocating Engine Operation
Purpose:
Describe the controls and instrumentation associated with reciprocating engines. Interpret
engine instrument information.
Reference: Aircraft specific POH
Activities:
Part 1: Reciprocating Engine Controls
1)
Identify the engine controls in figure 1. (Cirrus SR20)
Power lever Mixture control
Start/ignition switch
2)
Identify the engine controls in figure 2. (Piper Seminole)
Throttle Propellor control
Mixture control lever
3)
The power lever in the Cirrus SR20 is linked to the butterfly valve/fuel metering unit and the propeller pitch control
4)
The power lever in the Cirrus SR20 is designed to maintain 2500 RPM during cruise with
a maximum RPM of 2700
5)
Pushing the propeller levers full forward in the Seminole will put the engine at High (HIGH or LOW) RPM.

I am having a hard time understanding C-E on this problem. For C, I know that Th>Ti>Tc. Does that mean that since ec= 1-Tc/Th and Tc is the lowest temp of the system, that it is indeed more efficient with both engines?
The other ones, I just don't know where to start.
Any help or explantions would be appreciated!

the activation mechanism on Valve C.
When Valve C is shifted, air is directed to the
Retraction pilot of the four-way directional control
valve. The pilot shifts the valve to direct air to the rod
end of the cylinder. The cylinder begins to retract. The
ramp moves off Valve C, which allows the Retraction
pilot line to vent. The cylinder continues to retract until
the ramp depresses the activation mechanism on Valve B
This allows system air pressure to again activate the
Extension pilot, beginning another sequence. The cylin-

(PID solution with the requirements and simple explanation. Thx)
INSTRUCTION: Given three bare processes develop a control system using feedbackand feedforward concept/principle. Your output is a process and instrumentationdiagram (P & ID) using ISA's Instrument Identification and Symbols standards withexplanation.
PROCESS 2: The liquid level inside the tank is regulated at a value of 3.0 m on a condition ofcontinuous liquid inflow and outflow.
Requirements: Two feedback solutions One feedforward solution

Task 8 - Induction Systems
In order for combustion to take place an induction system is required to feed fuel and air into the
cylinder of an engine. To improve efficiency and performance spark ignition (SI) engines are now
adopting compression ignition (CI) engine technology by injecting fuel directly into the cylinder
just before the point of ignition however these engines still require an air induction system.
Carburettors: before fuel injection technology had been fully developed carburettors (carbs)
were used to create a fuel/air ratio at different engine speeds and loads. A cold start facility was
also fitted albeit manually operated.
The demand for more performance has meant the fixed choke carb' was no longer suitable. More
complex carbs' were developed (twin choke) as well as variable choke (constant depression)
carbs which used engine vacuum (during throttle opening) to vary the size of choke according to
operating requirements.

i-Use the first law of thermodynamics to determine an algebraic equation for the combustorexit temperature (T 04 ) in terms of equivalence ratio (phi) if the fuel in Problem 2 is used. Hint:find the equation for f in terms of T04 and T03 in the canvas handout, our class notes, or in thetextbook in Chpt 5. Then solve that equation for T04 .Assume that the compressor exit temperature T 03 is 650 K. The heating value (Q R ) of thenew fuel in problem 2 is 39,000 kJ/kg fuel. The effective heat capacity cp of the mixture is constant and is 1.2 kJ/(kg-K). Insert these values into your equation for (T 04 ) in terms ofequivalence ratio (phi)
ii-Now consider values of fuel-air equivalence ratios (phi) of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5. Use Matlab,Excel or some other program to use your equation from problem 2 to plot a graph of T04versus f.

1.Mass component that do not vary as it passes though the system is helpful if its mass balance is included in assessing the system
Adiabatic system is a real system
Control volume is a region in space surrounded by a control surface through which the fluid flows.
Steam is said to be superheated if its actual temperature is higher than its saturated temperature at constant pressure
Generation or depletion terms are included in a component mass balance if the component undergoes chemical reaction.
Mass balance may refer to total mass balance or component mass balance.
The degree of freedom of a system is equal to the difference between the number of unknown variables and the number of independent equations
In a component mass balance, the component generation term has the same sign as the output streams.
For water, the density of its vapors, liquid, and solid are in increasing order
