Cylinder wall temperatures

Reduced cylinder wall temperature promotes better lubrication, resulting in longer life and reduced maintenance. 

Operation primarily with lean mixtures. small squish volumes in the combustion chamber. increased cylinder-wall temperatures. ... 

Despite present predictions for the number of diesel-powered cars in Europe to increase markedly, discussions on the engineering approach to the control of automobiel emissions have centered on the gasoline motor. Cylinder wall temperature, air-fuel ratios, exhaust gas catalysts, and lead traps were presented and discussed as remedies. Blended fuel, for instance gasohol or synthetic fuels, were not considered because they are used on a local basis or during transient, difficult conditions. The contribution of lubricating oil in PAH emissions exists but was not considered an important issue, and was not discussed in the meeting. 

Creep of Thick-walled Cylinders. The design of relatively thick-walled pressure vessels for operation at elevated temperatures where creep caimot be ignored is of interest to the oil, chemical, and power industries. In steam power plants, pressures of 35 MPa (5000 psi) and 650°C are used. Quart2 crystals are grown hydrothermaHy, using a batch process, in vessels operating at a temperature of 340—400°C and a pressure of 170 MPa (25,000 psi). In general, in the chemical industry creep is not a problem provided the wall temperature of vessels made of Ni—Cr—Mo steel is below 350°C. 

Figure 12-37B and 12-37C show the events for an ideal constant-T compressor and engine with an atomospheric temperature, T . Wi , the gray area, raises air pressure from 1 to 2 while shaded area, flows through the compressor-cylinder walls to atmosphere. This system does not need an aftercooler. Air expands in the engine from 3 to 4 while it absorbs 0, from the atmosphere, hatched area, through the engine cylinder walls and produces shaft work hatched area. For reversible processes ... 

One of the main reasons for the good performance of the diesel, compared with alternative machines, is due to the fact that the design is not restricted by metallurgical considerations which, for instance, limits the higher gas temperature in the gas turbine. This is because the cylinder wall is only subject to intermittent peak temperature due to combustion and its average temperature is much lower than the mean gas temperature. Therefore, the cyclic temperature can be maximized. 

Cylinder heat is produced by the work of compression plus friction, which is caused by the action of the piston and piston rings on the cylinder wall and packing on the rod. The amount of heat generated can be considerable, particularly when moderate to high compression ratios are involved. This can result in undesirably high operating temperatures. 

Most compressors use some method to dissipate a portion of this heat to reduce the cylinder wall and discharge gas temperatures. The following are advantages of cylinder cooling ... 

Lowering cylinder wall and cylinder head temperatures reduces loss of capacity and horsepower per unit volume due to suction gas preheating during inlet stroke. This results in more gas in the cylinder for compression. 

Reducing cylinder wall and cylinder head temperatures removes more heat from the gas during compression, lowering its final temperature and reducing the power required. 

Acetylene mixed with acetic acid is stable at 70°C, but an accidental temperature rise in a cylinder containing a solution of acetyiene in acetic acid resuited in a temperature rise reaching 185°C on a specific point of the cylinder walls. There was an extreme heating of the cylinder, which could not be controlled by severe external cooling, and caused the cylinder to detonate. 

The liquid material in cylinders (which contains around 30% of propadiene) is not shock-sensitive, but a wall temperature of 95°C (even very localised) accompanied by pressures of about 3.5 bar, will cause a detonation to propagate from the hot spot [1]. Induced decomposition of the endothermic hydrocarbon leads to flame...

There would be a minimum of 80 data sets needed to generate this data for one temperature. Because of the time involved, usually about 10 to 15 shear rate data points are generated at each temperature. The plot of the viscosity as a function of shear rate at 270°C is presented in Fig. 3.22. The viscosity below a shear rate of 5 1/s would be best taken using a cone and plate rheometer. The wall friction for the capillary rheometer between the piston and the rheometer cylinder wall would likely cause a force on the piston of the same order as the force due to the flow stress. 

The lateral stress ratio depends on the resin type and shape, surface treatments such as additives, temperature, and pressure. The ratio is measured using a compaction cell [2], as shown in Fig. 4.8. This cell is very similar to one shown in Fig. 4.3 except the piston for the lateral stress ratio cell is octagonal in cross section and a pressure sensor is mounted in the cylinder wall. The stress ratio is calculated by dividing the pressure measured at the side of the cylinder by the calculated pressure in the axial direction at the height of the sensor. The calculation method can be found elsewhere [2j. The lateral stress ratio for select resins at 25°C and 2.5 MPa are provided in Table 4.1. 

Assume a flow of air in the tubular arrangement illustrated in Fig. 6.24. Assume that the outer surface of the inner tube has a radius of n and the inner radius of the outer cylinder is rD. The air issues radially outward from the porous tube with a uniform velocity of Vj and a temperature of 7. The outer cylinder wall is maintained at a temperature of Ta. The objective of this exercise is to formulate and solve a problem to determine and explore the flow field. 

Develop an expression for a Nusselt number to describe the heat transfer at the outer cylinder wall. Assume that the heat flux can be based on the temperature difference between the inner and outer cylinders,... 

The liquid material in cylinders (which contains around 30% of propadiene) is not shock-sensitive, but a wall temperature of 95°C (even very localised) accompanied by pressures of about 3.5 bar, will cause a detonation to propagate from the hot spot [1], Induced decomposition of the endothermic hydrocarbon leads to flame propagation in absence of air above minimum pressures of 3.4 and 2.1 bar at 20 and 120°C, respectively [2]. Application as a monopropellant and possible hazards therefrom (including formation of explosive copper propynide) have been discussed [3]. Although the pure material is highly endothermic (A/// (g) +185.4 kJ/mol, 4.64 kJ/g), the commercial mixture with propadiene and propane (MAPP gas) is comparable with ethylene for handling requirements and potential hazard [4].
