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. ...
GEAR BOX - It is Mechanism which provides variation in speed and torque. FUNCTION OF GEAR BOX • it provides variation in speed and torque. • it help the vehicle to run in reverse direction. • increase or decrease speed Types Of Gear Box:- * Sliding mesh gear box * Constant mesh gear box * Synchromesh gear box 1.) SLIDING MESH GEAR BOX • CONSTRUCTION - In this the clutch gear which mounted on the clutch shaft. This gear box shaft is attached to the Clutch. The clutch gear A meshed with lay shaft gear D . Lay shaft is a intermediate shaft. There are 3 gear on lay shaft E,F and G. There is also an idle shaft on which a small idle gear H is mounted. This idle gear used for reversing the direction of vehicles. There is a main shaft which is aligned to the Clutch shaft. The two gear B & C mounted on main shaft in such a way they can slide on main - shaft. SPLINED SHAFT IS ALSO CALLED Main shaft. • WORKING - The gear A is always rotating when clutch is engaged. ...
