Criteria S.I. Engine (Petrol or Spark Ignition Engine) C.I. Engine (Diesel or Compression Ignition Engine) Working Cycle Works on Otto Cycle or Constant Volume Cycle. Works on Diesel Cycle. Mixture During Suction Stroke Takes a mixture of air and petrol during the suction stroke. Takes only air during the suction stroke. Fuel Used Uses petrol as fuel. Uses diesel as fuel. Compression Ratio Has a compression ratio that varies from 6 to 10. Has a compression ratio that varies from 16 to 20. Engine Weight and Cost S.I. engines are lighter and cheaper. C.I. engines are heavier and costlier. Initial Cost Initial cost is lower compared to C.I. engines. Initial cost is high due to high compression ratio. Starting Starting is easy. Starting is difficult, especially in cold conditions. ...
TYPES OF LOADS ON BEAMS 1. Concentrated or point load 2. Distributed load 3. Couple 1. Concentrated Loads:- This loads acts over small area. 2. Distributed Loads:- It act over finite length of a beam. Such load measured by their intensity which is expressed by the force per unit length of the axis of beam. It has two types A. Uniformly Distributed Load - This load distributed evenly over the entire length of beam. It is abbreviated as U.D.L Unit - kN/m B. Uniformly Varying Load - It is also called triangular load. In this intensity of loading increases or decreases at constant rate along the length of beam. 3. Couple:- Two equal unlike parallel forces that is foce equal in magnitude, with line of action parallel to each other and action in opposite directions are called couple.
