influence of side oil on 2 stroke engine

Synopsis Motors with 2-stroke or 2-stroke engines are no longer produced in Indonesia. This is because the Indonesian government has imposed a ban on motorcycle manufacturers to produce motorbikes with 2-stroke engines. The motor with this engine is considered not environmentally friendly because Indonesia has followed the Euro 4 emission standards in 2018.

Maybe some of us have had a 2 stroke engine. But did you know that currently the selling price of used motorbikes with 2 stroke engines is still considered high? Call it the Yamaha RX-King and Yamaha F1ZR motorbikes, which are still much sought after and loved by collectors of old motorbikes. Many collectors must have known that motorbikes with 2-stroke engines have great sound and power, fast acceleration and are considered lighter. But unfortunately, 2-stroke motorbikes are also known as motorbikes that are wasteful of fuel and also motorbikes that give a lot of air pollution because of the thick smoke that is released from the exhaust. In addition, 2-stroke motorbike users have to spend more to buy side oil in order to maintain the performance of their favorite 2-stroke motorbike. Then what is the reason for 2-stroke motors need side oil? Here's an explanation.

Just like motorbikes in general, 2-stroke motorbikes also use engine oil, but the difference is that 2-stroke motorbikes have additional oil, namely side oil. Side oil is something that is vital on a 2-stroke motorbike. Because side oil has a different task from engine oil. Side oil carries out an important task, namely lubricating the cylinder parts on the engine where the side oil will later burn with the fuel. In addition, side oil also has a positive impact on piston and piston ring performance so that they work more optimally. Thus, side oil is very influential on the performance of a 2-stroke engine.

The class begin with Prof DAI asking us about our health condition. He was so happy when he found out that all of the students in the class are in good condition. Then Prof DAI told us that when we grown up, all of our own actions it is the responsibility of each of us. After that Prof Adi explain us about pyrolisis. The pyrolysis (or devolatilization) process is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures, often in an inert atmosphere. It involves a change of chemical composition. The word is coined from the Greek-derived elements pyro "fire", "heat", "fever" and lysis "separating".

Pyrolysis is most commonly used in the treatment of organic materials. It is one of the processes involved in charring wood. In general, pyrolysis of organic substances produces volatile products and leaves char, a carbon-rich solid residue. Extreme pyrolysis, which leaves mostly carbon as the residue, is called carbonization. Pyrolysis is considered the first step in the processes of gasification or combustion.

The process is used heavily in the chemical industry, for example, to produce ethylene, many forms of carbon, and other chemicals from petroleum, coal, and even wood, or to produce coke from coal. It is used also in the conversion of natural gas (primarily methane) into hydrogen gas and solid carbon char, recently introduced on an industrial scale. Aspirational applications of pyrolysis would convert biomass into syngas and biochar, waste plastics back into usable oil, or waste into safely disposable substances.

E Bike project

Me and Amato does a few research for the e bike project. We find out what parts are needed to build a proper e bike. Building an electric bike (e-bike) involves several key components. Here's a basic list of components you would typically need:

Bicycle Frame: Choose a frame that is suitable for your intended use and can accommodate the necessary components.

Motor: Select an electric motor designed for bicycles. There are various types, including hub motors (front or rear wheel) and mid-drive motors. Hub motors are easier to install, while mid-drive motors offer better performance on varied terrain.

Battery: Choose a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The capacity (measured in watt-hours, Wh) and voltage should match your motor specifications and riding preferences. Battery placement on the frame is also a consideration.

Motor Controller: This device regulates the power flow from the battery to the motor. It interprets signals from the throttle or pedal assist system and adjusts the power output accordingly.

Throttle or Pedal Assist System: Decide whether you want a throttle, which allows manual control of the motor's power, or a pedal assist system (pedelec) that automatically adjusts the assistance based on your pedaling.

Display/Control Unit: This component shows important information such as speed, battery level, and mode. It's often integrated with the controls for adjusting assistance levels.

Wiring and Connectors: High-quality wiring and connectors are crucial for safety and performance. Make sure they are compatible with the components you're using.

Brakes: Consider upgrading your brakes to handle the additional speed and weight of an e-bike. Some electric bike kits come with brake sensors that cut power to the motor when the brakes are applied.

Throttle or Pedal Assist Sensor: For throttle-controlled systems, a throttle sensor is needed. For pedal-assist systems, a sensor measures the force applied to the pedals and adjusts the motor assistance accordingly.

Charger: Purchase a charger compatible with your battery. Charging times depend on the battery capacity and charger specifications.

Lights and Reflectors: Ensure your e-bike is equipped with proper lighting and reflectors to enhance visibility, especially if you plan to ride at night.

Kickstand: An e-bike can be heavier than a regular bike, so a sturdy kickstand is essential for stability.

Fenders and Mudguards: Depending on your local weather conditions, fenders and mudguards can help keep you and your e-bike clean and dry.

Gearing System: Consider the gearing system on your e-bike, especially if you're using a mid-drive motor. It's essential to have a compatible and durable gearing setup.

Tires: Choose tires suitable for the type of riding you'll be doing, considering factors like terrain and weather conditions.

When building an e-bike, it's important to ensure compatibility among all components and, if in doubt, consult with experts or the manufacturers of the components you're using. Additionally, be aware of any local regulations regarding the use of electric bikes, as they can vary by location.

Working Principle and Theoretical Calculation of Centrifugal Fan

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb. Hello everyone, here is the link of my personal video explaining about centrifugal fan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqL_2JPoScM

A centrifugal fan, also known as a radial fan or a centrifugal blower, is a mechanical device that moves air or other gases in a circular motion. It operates based on the principles of centrifugal force, which is the force that acts outward from the center of rotation.

The basic components of a centrifugal fan include an impeller, a housing or casing, and an inlet and outlet. Here's how it generally works:

Impeller: The impeller is a rotating disk with blades or vanes attached to it. It is typically mounted on a shaft and is responsible for drawing air into the fan and then accelerating and redirecting it outward.

Inlet: The fan draws air or gas into the inlet, and the rotating impeller imparts kinetic energy to the air particles. As the impeller rotates, it creates a low-pressure zone at the center, causing the air to be drawn into the fan.

Acceleration: As the air moves through the impeller, the spinning blades accelerate the air radially outward. The kinetic energy imparted to the air causes it to move in a tangential direction.

Outlet: The accelerated air is then discharged through the outlet of the fan housing. The outlet may be designed in a specific way to control the flow of air and increase efficiency.

Centrifugal Force: The outward movement of air is due to centrifugal force, which is the apparent force that acts on the air particles as they are forced to move in a circular path. This force overcomes the pressure difference, and the air is expelled through the outlet.

Centrifugal fans are particularly useful in applications where a constant and high flow rate of air is required, such as in ventilation systems, air conditioning units, and industrial processes. They are known for their ability to handle a wide range of air volumes and pressures, and their design allows for efficient operation in various applications. The specific design and characteristics of a centrifugal fan can vary based on its intended use and the requirements of the system it is a part of.

Ecs 1 Class 27/11/2023

Today we went to ccit workshop. Right there we learn about turbo machinery. Bang Edo explain us about what is the difference between motion machine and work machine.

Turbomachinery refers to machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid, including both gases and liquids. These machines are widely used in various industries to either extract energy from a fluid stream (as in the case of turbines) or impart energy to a fluid stream (as in the case of pumps and compressors).

The two primary types of turbomachinery are turbines and compressors. Turbines convert the energy of a fluid stream into mechanical energy, often used to generate electricity in power plants or propel aircraft. Compressors, on the other hand, increase the pressure of a fluid, commonly used in applications like air compression in gas turbines, refrigeration systems, and various industrial processes.

Here are some key types of turbomachinery:

Turbines:

Steam Turbines: Convert the energy of high-pressure steam into mechanical energy. Gas Turbines: Extract energy from the combustion of fuel and air mixture to produce mechanical energy. Hydraulic Turbines: Convert the energy of flowing water or other hydraulic fluids into mechanical energy. Compressors:

Centrifugal Compressors: Use a rotating impeller to increase the velocity of a fluid, which is then converted into pressure. Axial Compressors: Propel fluid through a series of rotating and stationary blades to compress it. Reciprocating Compressors: Use a piston-cylinder arrangement to compress the fluid. Turbomachinery plays a crucial role in various industries, including power generation, aviation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and more. Designing and optimizing turbomachinery require a deep understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and mechanical engineering principles.

Researchers and engineers continually work on improving the efficiency, reliability, and performance of turbomachinery to meet the growing demands of energy and industrial applications. Computational tools, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), are commonly employed in the design and analysis of turbomachinery components.

Certainly! Let's delve into a theoretical explanation of turbomachinery, covering key concepts and components:

Basics of Turbomachinery: Rotor and Stator:

Rotor: The rotating part of the turbomachinery, such as blades in a turbine or compressor. Stator: The stationary part that guides the fluid flow and modifies its properties before it reaches the rotor. Working Principle:

Turbines: Extract energy from a fluid and convert it into mechanical work. For example, steam turbines extract energy from high-pressure steam. Compressors: Add energy to a fluid, increasing its pressure. Gas compressors, for instance, raise the pressure of a gas. Turbines: Steam Turbines:

Steam enters at high pressure and high temperature. It expands through the turbine blades, losing pressure and gaining velocity. The kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy as the steam causes the rotor to spin. Gas Turbines:

Air is compressed in the compressor section. Fuel is added and ignited, producing a high-velocity, high-temperature gas. This high-energy gas expands through the turbine, driving the rotor and producing mechanical work. Hydraulic Turbines:

Water or another hydraulic fluid enters the turbine. The kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into mechanical energy as it passes through the turbine blades. Compressors: Centrifugal Compressors:

Air or gas enters the compressor and is directed to the center by the rotating impeller. The kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy as the fluid is forced outward. Axial Compressors:

Air flows parallel to the axis of rotation. The compressor consists of multiple rows of rotating and stationary blades that progressively compress the fluid. Reciprocating Compressors:

Use a piston-cylinder arrangement. The piston compresses the fluid when it moves in the cylinder. Key Performance Parameters: Efficiency:

Turbomachinery efficiency is the ratio of actual work output to the theoretical maximum work output. Pressure Ratio:

The ratio of the discharge pressure to the suction pressure in a compressor. Specific Speed:

A dimensionless parameter that characterizes the shape of a turbomachine and helps in scaling. Challenges and Considerations: Cavitation (for hydraulic turbines):

Formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid due to pressure variations. Blade Design:

Optimal blade design is critical for efficiency and performance. Heat Transfer:

Managing heat transfer is crucial to prevent damage and maintain efficiency. Computational Tools: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD):

Used for simulation and analysis of fluid flow within turbomachinery. Finite Element Analysis (FEA):

Assesses structural integrity and mechanical behavior of turbomachinery components. Understanding these theoretical aspects is fundamental to designing, optimizing, and maintaining efficient turbomachinery systems across various industries.

Question: What?

What is the function of turbo?

The term "turbo" is often associated with turbochargers and turbocharging systems in the context of internal combustion engines. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase the efficiency and power output of an engine by compressing the incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. Here's how it works:

Turbocharger Function in Internal Combustion Engines: Air Compression:

A turbocharger consists of two main components: a turbine and a compressor. The turbine is positioned in the exhaust stream of the engine. As exhaust gases exit the engine cylinders, they flow over the turbine blades, causing the turbine to spin. Link to Compressor:

The turbine and compressor are connected on a common shaft. As the turbine spins, it drives the compressor. Air Intake:

The compressor is located on the intake side of the engine, drawing in ambient air. The spinning compressor compresses this incoming air before it enters the engine's combustion chamber. Increased Air Density:

Compressing the air increases its density. Higher air density allows for a larger volume of air to enter the combustion chamber, enabling more fuel to be burned. Improved Combustion:

With more fuel and compressed air, the combustion process is more efficient. This results in increased power output and improved engine performance. Benefits of Turbocharging: Increased Power Output:

Turbocharging allows engines to produce more power without increasing their size. This is particularly valuable in applications where space and weight are critical factors, such as in automotive and aviation. Improved Fuel Efficiency:

By increasing the efficiency of combustion, turbochargers can contribute to better fuel efficiency. This is because more of the energy in the fuel is effectively converted into mechanical work. Downsizing Engines:

Turbocharging enables manufacturers to use smaller engines that still deliver high power outputs. This downsizing trend has become common in the automotive industry as a strategy to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Emissions Reduction:

Turbocharging can contribute to reducing emissions by allowing for the use of smaller, more fuel-efficient engines that still meet performance requirements. While turbocharging is most commonly associated with internal combustion engines, the term "turbo" might also be used in other contexts. For example, it can be part of the name of certain machines or systems that use turbines or similar components to achieve specific functions.
