Introduction:                   The IC engine extracts work from the working fluid by first compressing it, icreasing its enthalpy and allowing it to expand. The expansion stroke is the only stroke when useful work is extracted from the working fluid. This project is about determining…

Introduction:                      A drag force is the resistance force caused by the motion of a body through a fluid, such as water or air. A drag force acts opposite to the direction of the oncoming flow velocity. This project is to visualize the extent to which…

Intoduction:                      A drag force is the resistance force caused by the motion of a body through a fluid, such as water or air. A drag force acts opposite to the direction of the oncoming flow velocity. This project is to visualise the extent to which…

Introduction:                     In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation containing one or more functions of one independent variable and the derivatives of those functions. The term ordinary is used in contrast with…

Intoduction:             Otto cycle is the theoritical or the idealized thermodynamic cycle representing the working of a spark ignition engine. It is known as the ideal cycle or an air standard cycle. The analysis of air standard cycle helps to understand the theoritical limits of the engine.…

 Intoduction:             Forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the manipulator or end-effector(eg.electrodes for welding) from the values of the lenghts of the joints and angle made by them. A 2R robot arm…

Introduction:                   The IC engine extracts work from the working fluid by first compressing it, increasing its enthalpy and allowing it to expand. The expansion stroke is the only stroke when useful work is extracted from the working fluid. This project is about…

INTRODUCTION: Piston is a cylindrical engine component that slides back and forth in the cylinder bore by force produced during the combustion process. The piston acts as a movable end of the combustion chamber. The stationary end of the combustion chamber is the cylinder head. Pistons are commonly made of a cast aluminum…

Introduction:            Parsing means  "To split a file or other input into pieces of data that can be easily stored or manipulated." Here, I have parsed a CONVERGE output file containing 17 parameters for different crank angles in a specific IC engine. I have dynamically created and…

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical functions, which possess the closest proximity to an orginal dataset. By curve fitting, we can mathematically construct the functional relationship between the observed dataset and parameter values or measure the errors between an orginal pre-defined…

Introduction: The Newton-Raphson method (also known as Newton's method) is a way to quickly find a good approximation for the root of a real-valued function f(x) = 0f(x)=0. It uses the idea that a continuous and differentiable function can be approximated by a straight line tangent to it. Suppose you need…

INTRODUCTION: A valve train is a mechanical system that controls operation of the valves in an internal combustion engine, whereby a sequence of components transmits motion throughout the assembly. A conventional reciprocating internal combustion uses valves to control the flow of the air/fuel mix ture…

Intoduction:             Forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the manipulator or end-effector(eg.electrodes for welding) from the values of the lenghts of the joints and angle made by them. A 2R robot arm is a…

Planetary gear: Planetary gear( also called as epicyclic gear )consists of a ring gear, planet gears and a sun gear. The sun gear is mounted at the centre around which the Planet gears are mounted which can revolve around them.The planet gears are meshing internally with the ring gear which is an internal gear.The planet…

MULTIBODY DYNAMICS: A multibody dynamics (MBD) system is one that consists of solid bodies, or links, that are connected to each other by joints that restrict their relative motion. The study of MBD is the analysis of how mechanism systems move under the influence of forces, also known as forward dynamics. GENEVA…
