1-2. A four-stroke cycle engine mayor may not have a pressure boost
(supercharger, turbocharger) in the intake system. Why must a two-stroke
cycle engine always have an intake pressure boost?
1-3. List two advantages of a two-stroke cycle engine over a four-stroke cycle
engine. List two advantages of a four-stroke cycle engine over a two-
stroke cycle engine.
1-4. (a) Why do most very small engines operate on a two-stroke cycle?
1-5. A single-cylinder vertical atmospheric engine with a 1.2m bore and a piston
of 2700 kg mass is used to lift a weight. Pressure in the cylinder after
combustion and cooling is 22 kPa, while ambient pressure is 98 kPa. Assume
piston motion is frictionless.
Calculate:
(a) Mass which can be lifted if the vacuum is at the top of the cylinder and
the piston moves up. [kg]
(b) Mass which can be lifted if the vacuum is at the bottom of the cylinder
and the piston moves down. [kg].
1-6. An early atmospheric engine has a single horizontal cylinder with a 3.2-ft
bore, a 9.0-ft stroke, and no clearance volume. After a charge of gunpowder is
set off in the open cylinder, the conditions in the cylinder are ambient pressure
and a temperature of 540°F. The piston is now locked in position and the end of
the cylinder is closed. After cooling to ambient temperature, the piston is
unlocked and allowed to move. The power stroke is at constant temperature and
lasts until pressure equilibrium is obtained. Assume the gas in the cylinder is
air and piston motion is frictionless. Ambient conditions are 700P and 14.7 psia.
