INTRODUCTION PISTON ENGINE

Piston engines are internal combustion engines that burn a mixture of fuel and air inside a
combustion chamber. The chamber is provided with a piston that moves within the compression
chamber. The energy for the movement of the piston is provided by the air-fuel mixture. Piston
engines operate similar to the car and other automobile engines. In its basic operation, a valve in
the engine permits air into the chamber (called the cylinder) which is compressed by the moving
piston. When an appropriate compression is reached, fuel is allowed into the compressed air
through another inlet as a fine spray. Finally, the compressed fuel-air mixture is ignited with a
spark provided by a spark plug, which causes the mixture to explode violently. The explosive
power is used to move the piston back, and remove the exhaust gases from the compression
chamber. The return movement of the piston is conveyed to the wheel and fans of the aircraft
which causes it to rotate at high speed. In a propeller powered aircraft, much of the thrust is
created by the propellers, which creates the upward lift for the aircraft.
The general aircraft piston engine used for thrust generation, consist of the following basic
components.
CRANK CASE:
The crank case of an engine is the housing that houses the various components
surrounding the crankshaft. Therefore it is the basic foundation of the engine. The crank case
performs the following functions:
It contains bearings in which crankshaft revolves.

It provides a tight enclosure for lubricating oil.
It supports various internal and external mechanism of power plant
It provides a support for attachment of cylinder.
It prevents the misalignment of the shaft and its bearings.
BEARINGS:
Bearing is any surface that supports or is supported by another surface. The bearings in
any aircraft engine are designed to minimize the friction and wear resistance. They must reduce
the friction of moving parts and also take the thrust loads, radial loads or combination of both.

CRANK SHAFT:
The crankshaft transforms the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotating motion for
turning the propeller. It is a shaft composed of one or more cranks located at definite places
between the end. Since the crank shaft is the backbone of the engine it is subjected to all forces
developed within the engine and hence should be strongly constructed.
CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLIES:
Connecting rod is the link which transmits forces between the piston and crankshaft of an
engine. It transmits the reciprocating motion of the piston to the rotating movement of the crank
shaft. The principle type of connecting assemblies are the
Plain type
Fork and handle type
Articulated type
PISTON:
The piston is a plunger that moves back and forth or up and down within the engine
cylinder barrel. It transmits the force of the burning and expanding gases in the cylinder through
the connecting rod to the engine crank shaft. As the piston moves down the cylinder, during
intake stroke, it draws in the air fuel mixture. As it moves up, it compreses the charge. Ignition
takes place and the expanding gases cause the piston to move towards the crank shaft.The piston
forces the burnt gases out of the combustion chamber during the next stroke.
CYLINDERS:
The cylinder of an IC engine converts chemical heat energy of the fulel to mechanical
energy and transmits it through the connecting rods to the rotating crank shaft. The cylinder
assembly used for present day engines usually includes cylinder barrel, cylinder head, valve grid,
valve seats, rocker arms, cooking fins
VALVES:
In general a valve is a device for regulating or determining the check on the flow of a
liquid or a gas by a movable part which opens or closes into a passage.The main purpose of a
valve in IC engine is to open and close parts which are into the combustion chamber of the
engine namely intake and exhaust ports.The valves are associated with valve guides,valve seats
and valve springs.

PROPELLERS:
They are essential aircraft parts that provide the necessary thrust for moving the aircraft.
The propeller is connected to the engine by means of a shaft.The propeller consists of two or
more blades and a central hub to which the blades are attached service. For an aircraft to remain
in an airworthy condition the following conditions have to be fulfilled.

INTRODUCTION TO JET ENGINE
The major components of a jet engine are similar across the major different types of engines,
although not all engine types have all components. The major parts include:
Cold Section:
Air intake (Inlet) The standard reference frame for a jet engine is the aircraft itself.
For subsonic aircraft, the air intake to a jet engine presents no special difficulties, and consists
essentially of an opening which is designed to minimise drag, as with any other aircraft
component. However, the air reaching the compressor of a normal jet engine must be travelling
below the speed of sound, even for supersonic aircraft, to sustain the flow mechanics of the
compressor and turbine blades. At supersonic flight speeds, shockwaves form in the intake
system and reduce the recovered pressure at inlet to the compressor. So some supersonic intakes
use devices, such as a cone or ramp, to increase pressure recovery, by making more efficient use
of the shock wave system.
Compressor or Fan The compressor is made up of stages. Each stage consists of
vanes which rotate, and stators which remain stationary. As air is drawn deeper through the
compressor, its heat and pressure increases. Energy is derived from the turbine (see below),
passed along the shaft.
Bypass ducts much of the thrust of essentially all modern jet engines comes from air from the
front compressor that bypasses the combustion chamber and gas turbine section that leads
directly to the nozzle or afterburner (where fitted).
Common shaft The shaft connects the turbine to the compressor, and runs most of the
length of the engine. There may be as many as three concentric shafts, rotating at independent
speeds, with as many sets of turbines and compressors. Other services, like a bleed of cool air,
may also run down the shaft.
Diffuser section: - This section is a divergent duct that utilizes Bernoulli's principle to
decrease the velocity of the compressed air to allow for easier ignition. And, at the same time,
continuing to increase the air pressure before it enters the combustion chamber.
Hot section:
PREPARED BY
S.RAJKUMAR
Page 22
Combustor or Can or Flameholders or Combustion Chamber This is a chamber where

fuel is continuously burned in the compressed air.
Turbine The turbine is a series of bladed discs that act like a windmill, gaining energy
from the hot gases leaving the combustor. Some of this energy is used to drive thecompressor,
and in some turbine engines (i.e. turboprop, turboshaft or turbofan engines), energy is extracted
by additional turbine discs and used to drive devices such as propellers, bypass fans or helicopter
rotors. One type, a free turbine, is configured such that the turbine disc driving the compressor
rotates independently of the discs that power the external components. Relatively cool air, bled
from the compressor, may be used to cool the turbine blades and vanes, to prevent them from
melting.
Afterburner or reheat (chiefly UK) (mainly military) Produces extra thrust by
burning extra fuel, usually inefficiently, to significantly raise Nozzle Entry Temperature at
theexhaust. Owing to a larger volume flow (i.e. lower density) at exit from the afterburner, an
increased nozzle flow area is required, to maintain satisfactory engine matching, when the
afterburner is alight.
Exhaust or Nozzle Hot gases leaving the engine exhaust to atmospheric pressure via a
nozzle, the objective being to produce a high velocity jet. In most cases, the nozzle is convergent
and of fixed flow area.
Supersonic nozzle If the Nozzle Pressure Ratio (Nozzle Entry Pressure/Ambient
Pressure) is very high, to maximize thrust it may be worthwhile, despite the additional weight, to
fit a convergent-divergent (de Laval) nozzle. As the name suggests, initially this type of nozzle is
convergent, but beyond the throat (smallest flow area), the flow area starts to increase to form the
divergent portion. The expansion to atmospheric pressure and supersonic gas velocity continues
downstream of the throat, whereas in a convergent nozzle the expansion beyond sonic velocity
occurs externally, in the exhaust plume. The former process is more efficient than the latter.
The various components named above have constraints on how they are put together to
generate the most efficiency or performance. The performance and efficiency of an engine can
never be taken in isolation; for example fuel/distance efficiency of a supersonic jet engine
maximises at about mach 2, whereas the drag for the vehicle carrying it is increasing as a square
law and has much extra drag in the transonic region. The highest fuel efficiency for the overall
vehicle is thus typically at Mach ~0.85.
For the engine optimisation for its intended use, important here is air intake design,
overall size, number of compressor stages (sets of blades), fuel type, number of exhaust stages,
metallurgy of components, amount of bypass air used, where the bypass air is introduced, and
many other factors. For instance, let us consider design of the air intake.

3. Many light a/c are equipped with a mixture control pull rod which has no defended
intermediate position when such controls are pushed in flush with the instrument panel
the mixture is set in the full rich position conversely when the control rod is fulled all
the way out the carburetor is in the idle cut off or full bean position. Unmarked
intermediate position b/w these two extremes can be selected by the operator to achieve
any desired mixture setting.
4. Open the throttle to a position that will provide 1000 to 1200 rpm.
5. Leave the preheat or alternate air control in the cold position to prevent damage and fire
in case of backfire. This auxiliary heating devices should be used of ten the engine warms
up. The improve fuel vaporization, prevent fouling of the spark plug oil formation and
climate icing in the induction system.
6. Energize the starter after the propeller has made at least two compile revolutions and twin
the ignition switch on one engine equipped with on induction vibrator turn switch to the
both position. When starting on engine; that uses on impulse coupling magnetic turn by
ignition switch to the left position. Place the ignition switch to the start when the
magnetic incorporation a retard breaker assembly. Do not crank the engine continuously
with the starter for more than 1 minute. Allow a 3 to 5 minute period for cooling the
starter between successive attempts. Otherwise the starter may be burned out due to
overheating.
7. Move the primer switch to on intermittently or prime with one or three stokes of
priming pump, depending of on how the aircraft is equipped. When the engine begin to
fire, hold the primer on, while gradually opening throttle to obtained smooth operation.
8. After the engine is operating smoothy on the primer, move the mixture control to the full
rich position. Release the primer as soon as drop in r.p.m indicates the engine in
receiving additional from the carburetor.
JET ENGINE:
1. Place the start selector switch to the desired engine and the start arming switch (if so
equipped) to start position
2. Turn the a/c boost pumps on

3. Place the fuel and ignition switch on

4. Position the low rpm switch in low or normal (high)
5. Make sure that the power lever is in the start position: If the propellar is not at the start
position. Difficulty may be encountered in making a start.
6. Depress the start switch and if printing is necessary depress the primer button.
7. Make sure the fuel pump parallel light comes on at or above 2200 rpm and remains on
upto 900 rpm.
8. Check the oil pressure and temperature maintain the power level at the start position
until the specified minimum oil temperature is reached.
9. Disconnect the ground power supply.
RESULT:
Thus the starting procedure of the engine has been studied.
VIVA QUESTION:
What is a need of booster pump?

What equipment is driven from the engine?
How is the maximum r.p.m. controlled?
What is a starting by-pass?
