Study Notes
Engine Types
- Internal combustion engines derive heat energy from the combustion of fuel and convert it into mechanical work.
- Internal combustion engines are those in which combustion takes place within the cylinder.
External vs Internal Combustion Engines
- The main difference between external combustion engines and internal combustion engines is the location of combustion.
Steam Engines
- Steam engines or steam turbines are examples of external combustion engines.
- Steam engines use high pressure steam as the working fluid in a reciprocating engine or a turbine.
- The heat generated due to the combustion of fuel in a steam engine is employed to generate high pressure steam.
Volumetric Efficiency
- The ratio of the actual volume of the working fluid at intake to the swept volume of the piston is known as volumetric efficiency.
Dryness Fraction
- The property of steam that indicates its dryness or the proportion of water present in the steam mixture is known as dryness fraction.
- Dryness fraction is the property of steam that indicates its dryness or the proportion of water present in the steam mixture as compared to dry saturated steam at the same temperature.
