Octane number and cetane number

Asked By: Gambit | Asked On: Sep 17th, 2009

What is the octane number of gasoline and cetane number of diesel used in india?

Answered by: pradeep on: Sep 11th, 2011

Cetane No. Diesel - 45 to 55

Octane No. Petrol - 80 to 85

Answered by: bijuvh on: Oct 25th, 2009

The higher the octane rating, the slower the fuel burns. High-performance engines typically have higher compression ratios (and hence longer piston strokes) which requires higher octane (slow burning)...

Frictional force

Asked By: NSK7777 | Asked On: Aug 23rd, 2009

What is the difference between tractive force and frictional force? Which one drives the vehicle? What are the directions of the forces with respect to the wheel?

Answered by: bhargavmech on: Aug 29th, 2009

Yes you are right. But as you know that traction force is applied by the car wheels (tyres) against the ground. As the wheel is moving forward, the traction force is in the forward direction an...

Answered by: NSK7777 on: Aug 25th, 2009

Thanks for your reply, but I have a small doubt.Now consider a drive wheel rotating in a dry surface and other one on a icy surface.Slip do not occur in the first one because traction force is les...

Rotating objects

Asked By: rajkumar.t | Asked On: Aug 7th, 2009

Why do objects rotating with more speed appearing to be stationary and sometimes appearing as rotating in the opposite direction?

Answered by: bhargavmech on: Aug 11th, 2009

The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively, or stagecoach-wheel effect, stroboscopic effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel c...

Answered by: sjsatheeshkumar on: Aug 8th, 2009

It is due to illusion effect.

When Tyres are parked for extended periods, tires dry out, discolor and eventually crack and split. The major factor degrading tires and other synthetic and rubber products is ozone, an odorless gas which is part of the air we breath. When combined with ultraviolet light (the invisible part of sunlight) a reaction occurs that attacks the tire polymer. To protect against ozone and UV damage, a stabilizer molecule called a “competitive absorber” is blended with the tire polymer. Competitive absorbers work by capturing and absorbing UV radiation and converting it to heat which is dissipated harmlessly. All tire manufacturers use the same competitive absorber, carbon black. This is why all tires are black

The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors:

1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH)
2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC)

And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.

Answered by: deemech on: Jul 11th, 2010

Carnot engine efficinency is not 100 percent or unity because there will be a heat rejection in the cold reservoir however it works on the reversible cycle but Carnot engine have not worked with 100 percent efficiency. However the second law efficiency may be 100 percent or unity.

Answered by: harsh.ankalkoti on: Aug 21st, 2009

Since it is engine based on ideal cycle that is carnot cycle, which is considered as the ideal cycle to which other cycle are compared, hence its theoritical efficiency is 100 percent.

Railway engine motor

Asked By: NSK7777 | Asked On: Jul 27th, 2009

What motor do they use in railway engines for traction?

Answered by: hemalshah94 on: Aug 27th, 2010

In Local memu train, series motor is used bec it  requires high torque initially e.g. Anand Memu, Vadodara memu
In Express train, I.M motor or Shunt motor is used bec. it requires high torque as well as constant speed e.g Ashram Express

Answered by: bhargavmech on: Jul 28th, 2009

Traction motors used to drive trains are series motors that provide the required torque and horsepower to get massive amounts of weight moving


Speed and torque

DTS-Fi stands for "Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection", a ‘Bajaj Patented Technology’. In fuel injection, the conventional carburettor has been replaced by injector which injects fuel in to the engine in a spray form based on the instructions of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which is a part of the Engine Management System EMS. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is microprocessor based and is the brain of the fuel injection system. It processes information sent by various sensors and instantly determines optimum fuelling and spark timing for various engine-operating conditions. The ECU contains detailed information of the engine's characteristics from which it picks the necessary data for commanding both fuelling & spark timing.

The main advantages of Fuel Injection are: a. Increased power output for same cc. b. Better low-end torque. c. Lower fuel delivery & optimisation of spark timing. d. Improved cold start, quick warm-up and excellent response to sudden acceleration. e. Lower emission levels. f. Self-detection and communication of fuel system malfunctioning if any.

Answered by: Gambit on: Jul 18th, 2009

DTSFI means Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection. The engine using this technology will use 2 spark plugs which will ensure better combustion of fuel and hence better fuel economy and less pollution.
