AME 250 Spring 2024 Term Project Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of a One-cylinder Internal Combustion Engine A one-cylinder internal combustion engine consists of a piston, a connecting rod, and a crankshaft as shown in Fig. 1. You are required to perform a kinematic and dynamic analysis of an engine of this type with the following steps: camshaft cam- mixture in- intake spark plug valve spring exhaust valve -cylinder valve head combustion- chamber cooling water cylinder block -piston connecting- -crankcase rod crankshaft. Figure 1. Schematic of one-cylinder four-stroke internal combustion engine with component names 1. Choose a real-life internal combustion engine and find out the dimensions required for a kinematic analysis of one cylinder of the engine (refer to the figure for Prob. 16.7 and the figure for Example 16.12 in your text for required dimensions). Each student is expected to come up with different dimensions for different engines, and all dimensions of the piston, the connecting rod, and the crank should be stated in a table and shown in a diagram. 2. For a constant angular speed of 2,500 rpm CW at the crank, determine the velocity and acceleration of the piston for one complete revolution of the crank for the engine you have chosen. Plot these quantities against the crank angle measured CW from the line of motion of the piston. Show all your work. 3. Find out the mass properties of the piston, the connecting rod, and the crank as well as the mass centers of each. All values should be stated in a table and shown in a diagram where necessary. These properties can also be listed in tables in Step 1, depending on how you structure your report 4. Draw free-body diagrams of the piston, the connecting rod, and the crank showing all the forces and torques acting on them (you can find out about gas and friction forces in the cylinder from the literature). Use these diagrams to write equations of motion for each component. Deliverables: The deliverable for this project will be a written report, which will consist of the following sections and which will be graded on the scheme shown: 1. Introduction and literature review (Steps 1 and 3 above) (25 points) (assessment tool for PI 1 and PI 2 of ABET Outcome 7) 2. Development and implementation of mathematical model(s) for kinematic analysis (Step 2 above) (35 points) 3. Development of free-body diagrams and equations of motion (Step 4 above) (30 points) (assessment tool for PI 3 of ABET Outcome 7) 4. Conclusions (10 points) Assessment: The project will be assessed based on the following criteria: 1. Quality of the literature review: Sufficiency, validity of sources, proper and consistent referencing of sources, syntax, and grammar. 2. Accuracy and completeness of the mathematical model(s) used: Assumptions made, sufficiency, numbered and referenced equations, well-explained steps in derivation, typeset mathematical expressions, properly and consistently referenced sources, if any. 3. Accuracy and reality check of implementation results: Graphical representation of results, comments on the reasonableness of the results, comparisons to other sources, if any. 4. Clear and concise conclusions statement: Statement of what was done and what was learned from this project. 5. Clarity and organization of the final report and presentation Bonus points (max 20): Additional points will be awarded to reports that include one or more of the following: 1. Solution of the equations of motion developed in Step 4 for a constant crank speed of 2,500 rpm (will require research on gas and friction forces) over a full revolution of the crank. 2. Quantitative analysis of power delivered to the crank at various crank speeds (must include your own calculations for the engine of your choice). 3. Other related aspects relevant to the topic (should be discussed with instructor first).
