    CALCULATION FOR MOTORCYCLE CARBURETORS

    To calculate the optimal size of the diffuser a carburetor to be used in an engine


    naturally aspirated monocylinder we must consider 2 fundamental aspects:

    1) The entry speed into the diffuser must be 90m/s to obtain a homogeneous and vaporized
    mixture so that combustion takes place as completely as possible.
    2) The flow rate of the air-fuel mixture that is drawn in by the engine must be the same as
    that supplied (or passed through) by the diffuser in the carburetor.

    THAT SAID, THE EQUATION THAT GOVERNS THE DIFFUSER SECTION IS GIVEN BY:

    Diffuser diameter (d) = (√Cu x (N/1000)) *0.8 = mm, where:

    • d=Diffuser diameter in mm.


    • Cu=Unit displacement in cm³
    • N= RPM in thousands (or RPM divided by 1000)
    • And finally the constant 0.8; which indicates the performance of the carburetor for an
    approximately ideal mixture.

    EX: FOR A 4-STROKE SINGLE CYLINDER ENGINE

    Cylinder diameter (D) = 78mm = 7.8cm = 0.078m


    Piston stroke (C) = 52.2mm = 5.22cm = 0.0522m
    No.rpm (N) = 8700 rpm (rated speed)

    Cu = ((π * D²) /4) * C... (π * (7.8²)cm */4) * 5.22cm = 249.3cm³

    d = (√249.3cm³ x (8700/1000)) *0.8 = 37.2mm

    AND FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE SUPPLY:

    Main jet diameter=d * (0.05) = mm


    Low jet diameter = main jet * (0.35) = mm

    FOR EXAMPLE, 37.2mm DIFFUSER

    Main jet = 37.2mm x (0.05) = 1.86mm .


    Low jet = 1.86mm x (0.35) = 0.65mm

    Note : This is the mathematical calculation used for a standard monocylinder engine, the values can
    be modified up or down with tests on the dynamometric bench or a road test depending on the
    power obtained or engine response respectively.
    To check the appropriate (optimal) diameter, the speeds of the piston and diffuser must be
    calculated and multiplied by their respective areas to obtain the flow rate sucked in by the motor,
    and the flow rate supplied by the diffuser at atmospheric pressure, which are given by the
    equation :

    WHERE: For Q in the diffuser:


    Q = V diffuser * diffuser area
    Q = flow rate (mm³/sec)
    A = area (mm²) For Q in the cylinder:
    V = speed (mm/sec) Q = V piston * cylinder
    area
    • The units of length and area must be the same (m or cm or mm)

    WHERE THE AREA IS GIVEN BY:

    A = (π * D²)/4; for the cylinder; and A = (π * d²)/4; for the diffuser

    FOR EXAMPLE

    A cylinder = (π *(7.8²) cm)/4 = 47.75cm²

    A diffuser = (π * (3.72²) cm/ 4 = 10.86cm²

    AND THE SPEEDS OF THE PISTON AND DIFFUSER:

    V piston = (C * N)/30 = m/sec; where:

    C = piston stroke
    N = no. of rpm
    30 = constant

    V diffuser = (V piston * D²)/d² = m/sec; where:

    D = cylinder diameter d = diffuser diameter

    FOR EXAMPLE

    V piston = (5.22cm * 8700rpm)/30 = 1513 cm/s

    V diffuser = (1513cm/s * (7.8²)cm)/(3.72²)cm = 6651.84 cm/s

    NOTE: The speeds expressed here are in cm/s, it is worth mentioning that they can be expressed
    in any other unit of measurement as long as the diameter is worked in a single unit of
    measurement.
    If the carburetor diameter is optimal, then the cylinder and diffuser flow rates should be equal.

    FOR THE EXAMPLE WE CHECK

    Q cylinder = 47.75cm² * 1513cm/s = 72245.75cm³/s

    Q diffuser = 10.86cm² * 6651.84cm/s = 7238.98cm³/s

    OBS: As seen, the flow rates are approximately equal, the variation is due to the use of decimals

    Finally, you must find the number of rpm at rated speed (maximum power), which will coincide
    with a speed in the diffuser of 90m/s; speed at which the vaporization of the air-fuel mixture allows
    optimal combustion.

    THIS IS GIVEN BY THE EQUATION:

    N = (30 * 90 * d²)/C * D² = RPM; where 30 = constant


    90 = optimal speed of mixture homogenization (m/s) d = diameter of the diffuser (mm)
    D = cylinder diameter (mm)
    C = piston stroke (meters)

    FOR EXAMPLE

    N = 30 * 90m/s * (37.2²)mm / 0.0522m * (78²)mm = 11764 rpm

    Note: for the result of a number of rpm different from that delivered by the manufacturer (at rated
    speed) it indicates that the power curve or the maximum power value for the engine in question
    has the possibility of improvement; because the value delivered by the manufacturer corresponds
    to an effective power value that considers performance losses due to heat transfer, friction and
    volumetric performance.
