Design a cast iron trunk type piston for a single acting four stroke engine developing 75 kW
Question:
Design a cast iron trunk type piston for a single acting four stroke engine developing 75 kW per cylinder when running at 600 r.p.m. The other avialable data is as follows: Maximum gas pressure = 4.8 N/mm²; Indicated mean effective pressure = 0.65 N/mm²; Mechanical efficiency = 95%; Radius of crank = 110 mm; Fuel consumption = 0.3 kg/BP/hr; Calorific value of fuel (higher) = 44 x 10ⓇkJ/kg; Difference of temperatures at the centre and edges of the piston head = 200°C; Allowable stress for the material of the piston = 33.5 MPa; Allowable stress for the material of the piston rings and gudgeon pin = 80 MPa; Allowable bearing pressure on the piston barrel = 0.4 N/mm2 and allowable bearing pressure on the gudgeon pin = 17 N/mm² Draw a neat sketch of the cylinder and show all critical dimensions.
