What is meant by the term crossflow head?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Define crossflow head.

Explanation of Solution

Crossflow head:

The placement of valve in the cylinder head plays an important role in determining the breathing efficiency. When the intake and exhaust valves are placed opposite to each other in a combustion chamber, an easy way is created from the intake port to exhaust port through the combustion chamber and is referred to as crossflow head design.

In crossflow head design, the flow enters and leaves the combustion chamber in opposite directions in the cylinder head.

You are working as an engineer in a bearing systems design company. The flow of lubricant inside a hydrodynamic bearing (p = 0.001 kg m-1 s-1) can be approximated as a parallel, steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow between two parallel plates. The top plate, representing the moving part of the bearing, travels at a constant speed, U, while the bottom plate remains stationary (Figure Q1). The plates are separated by a distance of 2h = 1 cm and are W = 20 cm wide. Their length is L = 10 cm. By applying the above approximations to the Navier-Stokes equations and assuming that end effects can be neglected, the horizontal velocity profile can be shown to be y = +h I 2h = 1 cm x1 y = -h u(y) 1 dP 2μ dx -y² + Ay + B moving plate stationary plate U 2 I2 L = 10 cm Figure Q1: Flow in a hydrodynamic bearing.

Question 1 You are working as an engineer in a bearing systems design company. The flow of lubricant inside a hydrodynamic bearing (µ = 0.001 kg m¯¹ s¯¹) can be approximated as a parallel, steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow between two parallel plates. The top plate, representing the moving part of the bearing, travels at a constant speed, U, while the bottom plate remains stationary (Figure Q1). The plates are separated by a distance of 2h = 1 cm and are W = 20 cm wide. Their length is L = 10 cm.
