How is the angle between power strokes determined?
Explain how to determine the angle between power strokes.
Explanation of Solution
Each four strokes (one cycle) of events need that the engine crankshaft constructs two full revolutions or
The number of degrees made by the rotation of the crankshaft between the power strokes can be formulated as an angle. The angle between the power strokes of the engine can be determined by dividing 720 by total number of cylinders in the engine.
The expression to calculate the angle between the power strokes of the engine is as follows:
For four stroke engine with four cylinders, the angle between the power strokes will be

- Please help me get this orthographical plate drawing right!arrow_forwardPlease answer ASAP and include the FBDs. Thank you!arrow_forwardA six inch diameter cylinder with a two inch rod pushes out its full stroke of 20 inches in 1.5 seconds the pushing load is 750 pounds while the pulling load is 600 pounds. The pulling of the cylinder takes place in 1.2 seconds. What are the ranges of sizes of the valve that should be used?arrow_forward
- I drew it but I don't know where I have to connect it. Where do I put dashed lines (if needed) where are the solid lines? Did I do it right?arrow_forwardoptions for the first blank - more slower or more rapid options for the second blank - uniform or non-uniformarrow_forwardthe isometric drawing has to be in 30 degree angle or verticalarrow_forward
