Crank shaft

The stress in the crank shaft is calculated approximately from the power and speed as follows. Bear in mind that approximate calculations of this sort may be in error by up to a factor of 2 - but this makes no difference to the conclusions reached below. Referring to Fig. 16.9 ... 

Figure 10-2 shows a high-speed compressor frame and cylinders. The upper compressor is called a two throw machine because it has two cylinders attached to the frame and running off the crank shaft. The lower compressor is a four-throw machine because it has four cylinders attached to the frame. The number of throws refers to the number of pistons. 

Low-speed units are typically integral in design as shown in Figure 10-4. Integral means that the power cylinders that turn the crank shaft are in the same case (same housing) as the cylinders that do the compressing of the gas. There is one crank shaft. Typically, integrals are con-...

In orthorhombic a-sulfur, the modification stable at normal conditions, S8 rings are stacked to form columns. Consecutive rings are not stacked one exactly above another (as in a roll of coins), but in a staggered manner so that the column looks like a crank shaft (Fig. 11.3). This arrangement allows for a dense packing of the molecules, with columns in two mutually perpendicular directions. The columns of one direction are placed in the recesses of the perpendicular crank shafts . In S6 and in S12 the rings are stacked exactly one above another, and the rolls are bundled parallel to each other. In the structures a... 

It must be remembered that the secondary structure of both the amorphous and crystalline regions typically tends toward a helical arrangement of the backbone for most polymers but not for PE, which forms a crank-shaft structure because of the lack of steiic restraints (i.e., lack of pendant groups off the backbone). 

The volume of gas inside the cylinder is a function of the piston position. The piston position is a function of the crank-shaft position. The crank-shaft position can be measured by a magnetic pickup attached to the crank shaft. Anyone who has had an automobile spark-plug firing timing adjusted electronically is familiar with this method of determining piston position.

Vanadium is the most important element of group Va. It finds extensive use in the manufacture of special steels. Vanadium steel is tough and strong, and is used in automobile crank shafts and for similar purposes. The prineipkl ores of vanadium are vanadinite, Pb5(V04)3CI, and carnoiite, K(U02)V04 H20. The latter mineral is also important as an ore of uranium. 

A mixture of air and a fine spray of gasoline at ambient (outside air) temperature is fed to a set of piston-fitted cylinders in an automobile engine. Sparks ignite the combustible mixtures in one cylinder after another, and the consequent rapid increase in temperature in the cylinders causes the combustion products to expand and drive the pistons. The back-and-forth motion of the pistons is converted to rotary motion of a crank shaft, motion that in turn is transmitted through a system of shafts and gears to propel the car. 

One high-volume application is the wheel speed detection for anti-lock braking (ABS) systems. Wheel speed information is also needed in modern vehicle dynamics control (VDC) and navigation systems. Both require, in addition to the wheel speed, the steering angle as an input value, which is also often provided by magnetic sensors. A classic field of application is the power train, in which magnetic sensors deliver information about the cam and crank shaft positions as well as the transmission speed. 

The alternator of today is a claw-pole machine [52], which is driven by the crank shaft via a belt. The current available from the alternator depends on its speed of rotation, i.e., on driving conditions, and on its temperature. When the engine is on idle, the available current is about 60% of the maximum current at higher speed (note, the current level may vary according to alternator design). The thermal... 

In such molecules, the crank-shaft type movements shown by Figure 3.3 are possible, rendering the molecules with significant flexibility.
