Title:-Write a assignment on Conventional and Non-conventional energy sources.

Objective:
After studying this experiment, you should be able to:-
 Understand the concept of various forms of energy source.
 Distinguish and Compare the various forms of energy source
 Understand the importance of renewable energy source.

Apparatus: Charts with diagram & Power point presentation.

Introduction:
We use many different energy sources to do work. Energy sources are classified as
renewable (Non-Conventional) or non-renewable (Conventional). Renewable and non-
renewable energy can be used as primary energy sources and converted into secondary
energy sources such as electricity and hydrogen.

 Non-renewable energy sources :


In the United States, non-renewable energy sources supply most of the energy we use.
Non-renewable energy sources include coal, natural gas, petroleum made from crude
oil and natural gas liquids, and uranium. These energy sources are called non-
renewable because their supplies are limited and take a very long time to form. Coal,
crude oil, and natural gas formed from the remains of plants buried underground
millions of years ago.

 Renewable energy sources :


Renewable energy sources include biomass, geothermal energy, hydropower, solar
energy, and wind energy. They are called renewable because they are naturally
replenished in a short period of time. Day after day, the sun shines, the wind blows,
and rivers flow.

Title: Assignment on automobile or vehicle specifications and systems in passenger car.

Objective:
After studying this experiment, you should be able to:-
 Understand the specification of various vehicle.
 Understand the system in passenger car.
 Understand the role of various system in car.

Apparatus:

Introduction:
Car specifications, or car specs, provide a snapshot of a vehicle's important details and
are commonly displayed by a car dealer at the dealership. This information might be a
printout attached to a car window or given to you as a hand out when you inquire about a
specific car. Understanding these specs and how they can affect you as the potential owner of
the vehicle can help you save time and ensure you get the right car for your lifestyle.

Car specs typically fall into the loose categories of construction, operation, and
performance. Construction specs can include basic dimensional factors like height and
weight, as well as deeper details like the car's wheelbase and cargo capacity. Operation specs
include features such as air conditioning, cruise control and seating materials. Performance
specs indicate how the vehicle can be expected to drive and, yes, perform. These can include
fuel economy and the vehicle's turning radius.
Construction specs are often presented as a simple block of data. Lighter vehicles are
often easier on fuel, but may not always have the power or traction of more heavy-duty
versions. A vehicle's height might be of concern if you regularly drive under bridges or
through short drive-through locations. This is a major factor for drivers of large trucks or
vans. Other commonly reported information includes vehicle length and ground clearance.
These are important for those driving off-road.

Questions:-

Q1. What is automobile or vehicle? Explain the classification of Vehicles.


Q2. Explain the function of vehicle chassis and explain its different types.
Q3. Explain the functions of major components of an automobile. Draw schematic diagram.
Q4. Explain the relative positioning of engine and drive axle layout of an automobile.
Q5. Explain the specifications of passenger car.

First Year Engineering Semester I System in Mechanical Engineering

Title of Experiment: Demonstration of power train system in the vehicle


Overview: Powertrain system of any vehicle is important part of all the vehicles. The vehicle
powertrain system consists of Engine, gear box, clutch, propeller shaft and differential. The
internal combustion engine consists of different elements which are giving power to other
components of vehicle. This power is transferred to wheels by means of gear box and other
elements

Objectives:

 To study the constructional details of power train of automobile.


 To study functioning of different elements of power train system

Prerequisites: Types of vehicles, layouts, gears

Theory:
Chassis is a French term and was initially used to denote the frame parts or Basic Structure of
the vehicle. It is the back bone of the vehicle. A vehicle without body is called Chassis. The
components of the vehicle like Power plant, Transmission System, Axles, Wheels and Tyres,
Suspension, Controlling Systems like Braking, Steering etc., and also electrical system parts
are mounted on the Chassis frame. It is the main mounting for all the components including
the body. So it is also called as Carrying Unit

Functions of Major Components of an Automobile Power train


1. Chassis and Frame

The chassis is formed by the frame with the frame side members and cross members. The
frame is usually made of box, tubular and channel members that are welded or riveted
together. In addition to this, it comprises of the springs with the axles and wheels, the steering
system and the brakes, the fuel tank, the exhaust system, the radiator, the battery and other
accessories. Along with this the frame supports the body.

2.Engine or Power Plant

The engine is the power plant of the vehicle. In general, internal combustion engine with
petrol or diesel fuel is used to run a vehicle. An engine may be either a two stroke engine or a
four-stroke engine.
An engine consists of a cylinder, piston, valves, valve operating mechanism, carburetor (or
MPFI in modern cars), fan, fuel feed pump and oil pump, etc. Besides this, an engine requires
ignition system for burning fuel in the engine cylinder.

3.Transmission System (Clutch and Gear Box)

MMCOE, Karvenagar, Pune-52 Page 36


First Year Engineering Semester I System in Mechanical Engineering

The power developed by the engine is transferred to the wheels by transmission system.
Transmission system must do three jobs :
It must provide varying gear ratios. Number of gear ratio is equal to number of gears in a
vehicle.

It must provide a reverse gear for moving vehicle in reverse direction.


It must provide a neutral or disconnecting arrangement so that the engine can be uncoupled
from the wheels of the vehicle. In a conventional transmission system, there is a clutch, a
manually operated transmission (gear box), a propeller shaft and a differential or final drive.

4. Clutch

The purpose of the clutch is to allow the driver to couple or decouple the engine and
transmission. When clutch is in engaged position, the engine power flows to the transmission
through it (clutch). When gears are to be changed while vehicle is running, the clutch permits
temporary decoupling of engine and wheels so that gears can be shifted. In a scooter, the
clutch is operated by hand where as in a car the clutch is operated by foot. It is necessary to
interrupt the flow of power before gears are changed. Without a clutch, it will be very
difficult.

5. Final Drive
Final drive is the last stage in transferring power from engine to wheels. It reduces the speed
of the propeller shaft (drive shaft) to that of wheels. It also turns the drive of the propeller
shaft by an angle of 90o to drive the wheels. The propeller shaft has a small bevel pinion
which meshes with crown wheel. The crown wheel gives rotary motion to rear axles. The size
of crown wheel in bigger than that of bevel pinion, therefore, the speed of rear axles (or
crown wheel) in lower than the speed of pinion. Final drive is of two types, i.e. chain type
and gear type.
6. Gear Box
Gear box contain gearing arrangement to get different speeds. Gears are used to get more
than one speed ratios. When both mating gears have same number of teeth, both will rotate at
same number speed. But when one gear has less teeth than other, the gear with less number of
teeth will rotate faster than larger gear. In a typical car, there may be six gears including one
reverse gear. First gear gives low speed but high torque. Higher gears give progressively
increasing speeds. Gears are engaged and disengaged by a shift lever.

7.Front Axle
A part of the weight of vehicle is transmitted to the wheels through this axle. The front axle
performs several functions. It carries the weight of the front of the vehicle and also takes
horizontal and vertical loads when vehicle moves on bumpy roads. When brakes are provided
on front wheels, it endures bending stresses and torsional stresses. It is generally made from
steel drop forging. It is robust in construction.

Title of Experiment: Demonstration of vehicle systems (automobile chassis,


steering system, suspension system, braking system - Any Two)

Overview: The chassis is formed by the frame with the frame side members and cross
members. The frame is usually made of box, tubular and channel members that are welded or
riveted together. In addition to this, it comprises of the springs with the axles and wheels, the
steering system and the brakes, the fuel tank, the exhaust system, the radiator, the battery and
other accessories. Along with this the frame supports the body.

Objectives:

 To study the constructional details of vehicle chassis and steering system of automobile.
 To study functioning of chassis.
 To study functioning of different elements of vehicle steering system

Prerequisites: To study functioning of chassis.

Theory:

1. Types of Chassis Frames

There are three types of frames


1. Conventional frame
2. Integral frame
3. Semi-integral frame

1.Conventional Frame

It has two long side members and 5 to 6 cross members joined together with the help of rivets
and bolts. The frame sections are used generally.
a. Channel Section - Good resistance to bending
b. Tabular Section - Good resistance to Torsion
c. Box Section - Good resistance to both bending and Torsion

2. Integral Frame

This frame is used now days in most of the cars. There is no frame and all the assembly units
are attached to the body. All the functions of the frame carried out by the body itself. Due to
elimination of long frame it is cheaper and due to less weight most economical also. Only
disadvantage is repairing is difficult.

MMCOE, Karvenagar, Pune-52 Page 43


First Year Engineering Semester I System in Mechanical Engineering

3. Semi - Integral Frame

In some vehicles half frame is fixed in the front end on which engine gear box and front
suspension is mounted. It has the advantage when the vehicle is met with accident the front
frame can be taken easily to replace the damaged chassis frame. This type of frame is used in
FIAT cars and some of the European and American cars.

Figure 3: Vehicle Layout

2. Steering System

This system provides the directional change in the movement of an Automobile and maintain
in a position as per the driver’s decision without much strain on him.

2.1. Requirements of Steering System :


It must keep the wheel at all times in to rolling motion without rubbing on the road.
This system should associate to control the speed.
It must light and stable.

Title of Experiment: Demonstration of Energy Conversion Devices


Overview: In various engineering applications, one form of energy is converted into another
form. Usually, the heat is converted into work or work is converted into heat. The systems or
devices which are used for converting energy are called as energy conversion devices. The
energy converting devices are divided into two categories:

1. Power producing devices 2. Power absorbing devices


1. Power producing devices
Power producing devices operates on a cycle and produces mechanical power output on the
expense of supplied energy. These devices generally absorb thermal energy from the source
and reject some part of it to a sink, while doing so it produces work as per the laws of
thermodynamics. For example: Boilers, Steam and Gas tubines, I.C. engines, Hydraulic
turbines, etc.
1. Power absorbing devices
Power absorbing devices uses work energy from outside source to increase the energy of working
fluid during a cycle. For example : Pumps, Compressors, Blowers, Fans, Refrigerators, Air
conditioners, etc.

Objectives:
 To study the constructional details of pump, compressor and turbine.
 To understand working of pump, compressor and turbine.

Prerequisites: Energy, Types of Energy


Theory :
1. Pump
A pump is a machine that imparts energy to a fluid so as to lift the fluid to a higher level, to
transport the fluid from one place to another, to pressurize the liquid for sonic useful purpose
or to circulate the liquid in a piping system
1.1. Centrifugal Pump
The Centrifugal Pump works on the principle of conversion of the rotational kinetic energy
into an increased fluid pressure. The action is explained by Bernouills Principle. Centrifugal
Pumps are used for large discharge through smaller heads.
Figure 4 shows the schematic diagram of a centrifugal pump. It consists of an impeller
enclosed in a volute casing. The impeller is coupled with prime movers such as internal
combustion engine or electric motor, which makes the impeller to rotate inside the volute
casing. The rotation of the impeller imparts kinetic energy to the fluid forcing the fluid to
move outward from the impeller vanes to the periphery. At the periphery, the change in area
of the volute casing converts the fluid kinetic energy (velocity) into (static) pressure head.
The increased pressure on the delivery side of the pump enables the fluid to flow or lift to a
higher level. The low pressure created at the impale eye (center) sucks the fluid from the
suction pipe.

2. Compressor
A compressor is used to increase the pressure of the air which can be used for a variety of
purposes, from industrial and manufacturing to commercial and personal purposes. The most
well known use of they; compressor is in the case of pneumatic tools such as air-powered nail
guns, staplers, sanders, spray pa ratchet wrenches, etc.
2.1. Reciprocating Air Compressor
Reciprocating compressor is a machine which is used to increase the pressure energy of the
working fluid by means of piston cylinder arrangement, here in refrigeration the working
fluid is refrigerant. It is a positive displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a
crankshafts to deliver gases at high pressure.
In a reciprocating compressor, a volume of air is drawn into a cylinder, it is trapped, and
compressed by piston and then discharged into the discharge line. The cylinder valves control
the flow of air through the cylinder; these valves act as check valves.

3. Turbine
Turbines are the hydraulic machines which convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.
4.1. Impulse Turbine (Pelton Wheel)
 Impulse turbine works on the basic principle of impulse.
 When the jet of water strikes at the turbine blade with full of its speed, it generates a large
force which used to rotate the turbine.
 The force is depends on the time interval and velocity of jet strikes the blades.
 This turbine used to rotate the generator, which produces electric power.
 High pressure water flow form dam (high head) to nozzle (low head).
 This water flows through divergent nozzle where it’s all pressure energy change into
kinetic energy. It forms a water jet.
 The water jet strikes the blade at high speed which rotates the rotor.
 It transfers all kinetic energy of water to the rotor, which further use to rotate the
generator.
 After transferring energy, water flows to the tail race.
 This process run continuously until sufficient power generates.

Objective:

After completing the simulation experiments on balancing of multiple


masses in single plane one should be able to

1. To understand the relative motion between the output and the input
shaft of the universal joint.
2. To understand the variation of angle output shaft and input shaft.

Introduction:

Universal joint is a positive mechanical joint used for connecting


shafts, whose axes are inclined at an angle to each other. It is also known as
universal coupling, U-joint, Cardan Joint and Hooke’s Joint. It compensates
angular misalignment between the shafts in any direction.

A universal joint is a joint or coupling in a rigid rod that allows the rod
to 'bend' in any direction and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary
motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90°
to each other, connected by a cross shaft. It is not a constant velocity joint.
The universal joint suffers from one major problem: even when the input
drive shaft axle rotates at a constant speed, the output drive shaft axle
rotates at a variable speed, thus causing vibration and wear.

You can understand the parts of a universal coupling clearly by taking


a look at the exploded view shown below. To know more about the parts.
