How is the camshaft driven by the crankshaft?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Identify how the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft.

Explanation of Solution

In an engine, the opening and closing of the valves are timed and the actuating mechanism for the fuel pumps and injectors are controlled by the camshaft. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through a belt or chain drive. In a four stroke engine, the speed of the camshaft is half of the crankshaft and for a two stroke engine; the speed is the same for both.

3. A steam power plant has an average monthly net power delivery of 740 MW over the course of a year. This power delivery is accomplished by burning coal in the boiler. The coal has a heating value of 9150 Btu/lbm. The cost of the coal is $14.20/ton. The overall thermal efficiency of the plant is, nth = Wnet Qboiler = 0.26 = 26% Determine the annual cost of the coal required to deliver the given average monthly power.
