To determine

The explanation of staged and continuously variable valve timing systems.

Explanation of Solution

Staged variable valve timing:

Staged valve timing consists of a central camshaft, where the lobes push against the wall to open when the camshaft is rotated. Crankshaft provides input to drive cam. Both the valves can be opened when there is a single cam. In the case of two cams, one can be used for intake and the second cam is for exhaust.

Valve timing ideal value point changes with a change in rpm. It is related to engine performance and fuel efficiency.

It involves three cams with different timing and lifts profile.

Stage one- low speed.

Stage two- medium speed.

Stage three- high speed.

Example − Honda VTEC system.

Continuously variable valve timing:

Continuously variable valve timing camshaft is fitted with a phaser. It is mounted in place of timing pulley, sprocket, or gear. The principle of phaser is based on a helical gear set or vanes enclosed in a housing. When the engine is running, it helps in changing time from cam-shaft to crankshaft.

It can be electronically or hydraulic controlled.

Example − Toyota’s VVT-i system.

Example (7): Determine the heating surface area required for the production of 2.5kg/s of 50wt% NaOH solution from 15 wt% NaOH feed solution which entering at 100 oC to a single effect evaporator. The steam is available as saturated at 451.5K and the boiling point rise (boiling point evaluation) of 50wt% solution is 35K. the overall heat transfer coefficient is 2000 w/m²K. The pressure in the vapor space of the evaporator at atmospheric pressure. The solution has a specific heat of 4.18kJ/ kg.K. The enthalpy of vaporization under these condition is 2257kJ/kg Example (6): 5:48 م An evaporator is concentrating F kg/h at 311K of a 20wt% solution of NaOH to 50wt %. The saturated steam used for heating is at 399.3K. The pressure in the vapor space of the evaporator is 13.3 KPa abs. The 5:48 O
Design a speed warning system that receives on two lines, an indication of the speed limit on the highway. There are three possible values 45, 55, or 65 MPH. It receives from the automobile, on two other lines, an indication of the speed of the vehicle. There are four possible values under 45, between 46 and 55, between 56 and 65, and over 65 MPH. It produces two outputs. The first, F, indicates whether the car is going above the speed limit. The second, G, indicates that the car is driving at a "dangerous speed" _ defined as either over 65 MPH or more than 10 MPH above the speed limit. The inputs are coded as follows: Speed limit A B Speed C D 45 0 0 65 1 1 a) Complete the Truth table for the speed warning system Inputs Outputs A B C D F G b) Write the Minterm expressions for the Output Functions. c) Minimize the output functions d) Implement the logic e) Using LabView, verify the Correctness of the Speed Warning System.
