Chapter 35, Problem 1RQ

How many degrees of crankshaft rotation are there between cylinder firings on an inline four-cylinder engine, an inline six-cylinder engine, and a V-8 engine?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Identify the crank rotation degrees between cylinder firings in the given engines.

Explanation of Solution

Inline four cylinder engine:

In a 4-cylinder engine where all the cylinders are mounted in a single line, the piston moves in pairs. The pistons of cylinders 1 and 4 move together and the pistons of cylinders 2 and 3 form a pair. With this arrangement, the engine will fire each cylinder after 180° rotation of the crankshaft.

Inline six cylinder engine:

An inline six cylinder engine is a perfectly balanced engine. The crankshafts ride on 4 or 7 main bearings and use six crank throws in three planes at 120 degrees apart. With this arrangement, the engine will fire each cylinder after 120° rotation of the crankshaft.

V-8 engine:

The V-8 engine crankshaft has two planes and one throw every 90 degrees resulting in a total of four throws. The engine operates smoothly with firing at each 90° rotation of the crankshaft.

A telemetry system is used to quantify kinematic values of a ski jumper immediately before the jumper leaves the ramp. According to the system  r=560 ft  ,   r˙=−105 ft/s  ,   r¨=−10 ft/s2  ,   θ=25°  ,   θ˙=0.07 rad/s  ,    θ¨=0.06 rad/s2 Determine the velocity of the skier immediately before leaving the jump. The velocity of the skier immediately before leaving the jump along with its direction is ? I have 112.08 ft/s but can't seem to get the direction correct. Determine the acceleration of the skier at this instant. At this instant, the acceleration of the skier along with its direction is ? acceleration is 22.8 ft/s^2 but need help with direction. Need help with velocity direction and acceleration direction please.
