Why consumption of lubricating oil is more in two-stroke eycle petrol engine than four-stroke cycle
petrol engine ?

In two-stroke engine lub oil is mixed with petrol and thus some lub oil is blown out through the exhaust valves by scavenging
and charging air. There is no such wastage in four stroke petrol engine.

Glycerine has boiling point of 90°C which inereases its heat carrying capacity. Thus weight of coolant gets reduced and smaller
riadiator can be used.

Posted Date:- 2022-06-25 06:03:33

What is the difference between scavenging and supercharging ?

Seavenging is process of flushing out burnt gases from engine cylinder by introducing freslh air in the cylinder before exhaust stroke ends. Supercharging is the process of supplying higher mass of air by compressing the atmospheric air.

Define the terms free energy and free enthalpy. What is their significance and importance?

Free energy (or Helmholtz function) is defined as/= u -Ts.
It is equal to the work during a constant-volume isothermal reversible nonflow process.
Ts
Free enthalpy (or Gibbs function) is defined asg =h
(where u = internal energy, h= enthalpy, T= temperature, s = entrop)
Gibbs function is of particular importance in processes where chemical changes occur. For reversible isothermal steady-flow
processes or tor reversible constant-pressure isothermal nonflow processes, change in free energy is equal to net work.

What do you understand by latent heat ? Give four examples of latent heats.

For pure substances, the heat effects accompanying changes in state at constant pressure (notemperature change being
evident) are known as latent heats. Examnples of latent heats are : heat of fusion, vaporisation, sublimation, and change in
erystal form.

Explain the rule to find specific heat of aqueous solutions.

For aqueous solutions of salts, the specific heat can be estimated by assuming the specific heat of the solution equal to that of
the water alone. Thus, for a 15% by weight solution of sodiunm chloride in water, the specific heat would be approximately o. 85.

What is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat of a material ?

• The heat capacity of a material is the amount of heat transformed to raise unit mass of a material 1 degree in temperature.
• The specific heat of a material is the ratio of the amount of heat transferred to raise unit maSs of a material 1 degree in temperature to that required to raise unit mass of water 1 degree of temperature at some specified temperature.
• For most engineering purposes, heat capacities may be assumed numerically equal to;specifie heats.
