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.

The feed flow rate to an adiabatic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in which an exothermicreaction is occurring is increased from 1000 to 1400. kg/h, causing the outlet temperature to change as shown:a)  Briefly explain on a physical basis why the temperature in this system oscillates after a step increasein the inlet flow rate. Be clear, complete, and concise. c)  You know that this oscillating response cannot be that of two first order processes with real timeconstant acting in series. Assuming the reaction is first order and the CSTR operates with constant holdup,derive the block diagram with all transfer functions indicating how the temperature would respond to the feedflow rate step change (W’(s) as input and T’(s) as output). An intermediate variable in this block diagram willbe the concentration of A in the reactor, represented by CA’(s). d)  A correct result for part c) will include a feedback loop in the block diagram, indicating the responsein T to a change in w is not…
Spur gears Note : Exam is open notes &tables / Answer all questions. Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm. Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and 0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90 mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft, prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is 1720 rev/min.
