INTERNAL <strong>COMBUSTION</strong> ENGINES (ELECTIVE) (ME667)SIXTH SEMESTERIts advantages are :o High volumetric efficiencyo Maximum compression ratio for fuel <strong>of</strong> given octane ratingo High thermal efficiencyo It can operate on leaner air-fuel ratios without misfiring.The drawback This design is the complex mechanism for r operation <strong>of</strong> valves and expensivespecial shaped piston.F- head used by Rover CompanyF – head used in Willeys jeep.Divided Combustion Chamber( VTU( VTU July 2006)In this type <strong>of</strong> chambers usually with about 80percent <strong>of</strong> the clearance volume in the mainchamber above the piston and about 20 percent <strong>of</strong>the volume as a secondary chamber. Mainchamber is connected to secondary chamberthrough a small orifice Combustion is started inthe small secondary chamber. As the gases insecondary chambers are consumed bycombustion, pressure rises and flaming gasexpands back through orifice and act as torchignition for main chamber.Jagadeesha T, Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, Department <strong>of</strong> Mechanical Engineering, Adichunchanagiri <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>, Chikmagalur
