Chapter 9, Problem 9.1E
To determine

Diesel engines produce high torque than gasoline engines.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 9.1E

Diesel engines produce more torque as a result of a higher compression ratio (longer stroke and turbocharger), which results in greater acceleration off the line. This acceleration, though, is only fleeting because the torque in diesel cars is dispersed over a much smaller region and their power band is considerably smaller.

Explanation of Solution

Torque:-

The force that can cause an object to rotate along an axis is measured as torque.

Diesel-Engine:-

Diesel engines work by compressing and heating air to a high pressure and temperature before injecting a little amount of fuel into it.

Gasoline- Engine:-

A gasoline engine creates combustion by injecting a mixture of air and fuel into the cylinders.

Reason:-

  • The diesel engine's longer strokes enable the piston to be moved farther, generating more force.
  • The amount of torque generated by the wheels increases as cylinder pressure increases.
  • High Compression Ratio, which is just the ratio between the cylinder's highest and minimum volumes.
  • Compared to comparable gasoline engines, turbo-diesels typically operate at greater turbocharger boost settings.
  • The amount of torque acting through the crankshaft increases as more energy is transmitted through to pressure on the piston with each combustion of diesel.

A prismatic beam is built into a structure. You can consider the boundary conditions at A and B to be fixed supports. The beam was originally designed to withstand a triangular distributed load, however, the loading condition has been revised and can be approximated by a cosine function as shown in the figure below. You have been tasked with analysing the structure. As the beam is prismatic, you can assume that the bending rigidity (El) is constant. wwo cos 2L x A B Figure 3: Built in beam with a varying distributed load In order to do this, you will: a. Solve the reaction forces and moments at point A and B. Hint: you may find it convenient to use the principal of superposition. (2%) b. Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams and identify the maximum shear force and bending moment. (2%) c. Develop an expression for the vertical deflection. Clearly state your expression in terms of x. (1%)
Question 1: Beam Analysis Two beams (ABC and CD) are connected using a pin immediately to the left of Point C. The pin acts as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these moments is PL. Moment Release A B с ° MB = PL Mc= = PL -L/2- -L/2- → P D Figure 1: Two beam arrangement for question 1. To analyse this structure, you will: a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and C. You can represent the structure as three separate beams. Following this, construct the…
