Circumference of the flywheel Where,
Distance = Distance of the valve opening or closing position marked on flywheel with respect to their dead centre.
PROCEDURE:
1. First the TDC and BDC of the engine are found correctly by rotating the flywheel
and the positions are marked on the flywheel. 2. Now the circumference of the flywheel is found by using the measuring tape. 3. The flywheel is rotated and the point at which the inlet valve starts opening is
found out and its position is marked on the flywheel. 4. Similarly the position at which it closes is also found out. 5. The distances are measured by using thread with respect to their dead centre and
converted into angles. 6. The same procedure is repeated for the exhaust valves also.

Ex.No : 02
Date :
AIM:
To draw the port timing diagram for the given two stroke engine.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1. Measuring tape
2. Scale
3. Thread
FIXING THE DEAD CENTRES:
For fixing up the dead centre a chalk mark is made on the piston. The fly wheel is
rotated. When the chalk mark coincides with the end of the cylinder a mark is made on the flywheel and it represents TDC.
Now the flywheel is again rotated and the position at which the piston reaches the
lower most position is noted on flywheel and it represents the BDC.
IDENTIFICATION OF POSTS:
The port which has more area and is nearer to the TDC is the exhaust port and the
other is the inlet port.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION:
As the port opening and closing are symmetrical about the dead centre any arbitrary
direction of rotation may be selected.
FORMULA:
Required angle = Distance x 360
Circumference of the flywheel
Where, Distance = Distance of the valve opening or closing position marked on
flywheel with respect to their dead centre.
PROCEDURE:
1. The flywheel is turned in any arbitrary direction. 2. During the downward traverse position when it just uncovers a port it is marked as
the opening of the port on the flywheel. 3. The rotation is further continued until the piston covers the port during its upward
travel. 4. A mark is made on the flywheel against the fixed mark. This gives the closing of
the port. 5. The same procedure is repeated for other ports also.
RESULT:
Thus the port time for the given two stroke engine is found out and the port timing
diagram is drawn.

Pitot tube water manometer level difference in the air duct = dH cm of water.
MODEL CALCULATION :
(1) AIR FLOW RATE :
Pitot tube water manometer level difference = dH cms of water
Manometer pressure difference Dp = dH * density of water / density of air
Air velocity V = ( 2* g* dP)^0.5 m/sec
= 13.0(dH)^0.5 m/sec
Mass flow rate of air M = duct c.s area * velocity * density of air
= 1.16* A* V kg/sec
= 1.16 * A * 13.0(dH)^0.5 kg/sec
(2) REFRIGERATION EFFECT :
Condition 1 refers to ambient and 2 refers to the chilled air
Ambient dry bulb temp = t1d
Ambient wet bulb temp = t1wChilled dry bulb temp = T2DChilled wet bulb temp = T2W
From the psychometric chart,
Total enthalpy of air at condition 1 = h1 KJ/Kg
Total enthalpy of air at condition 2 = h2 KJ/Kg Heat
removed from air per kg = (h1-h2) KJ/Kg Total heat removed by the air conditioner = M *(h1-h2) KJ/Kg i.e, refrigeration effect (3) INPUT ENERGY TO THE AIR CONDITIONER :
Energy meter constant N = 1200 rev / kw hr Time

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF VISCOSITY OF LUBRICANTION OIL BY REDWOOD VISCOMETER
EX.NO:.8
DATE:
AIM:
To determine the viscosity of a fluid or liquid by virtue of which it offers resistance to its own flow. It is measured in poise. The kinematic viscosity of a liquid is the ratio of absolute viscosity to its density for the given temperature. The unit for kinematic viscosity is centistokes. Viscosity is the most important single property of any lubricating oil, because it’s the main determinant of the operating characteristics of the lubricant. If the viscosity of the oil is too low, a liquid oil film cannot be maintained between to moving or sliding surfaces, consequently excessive wear will take place. On the other hand if the viscosity is too high, excessive friction will result due to fluid friction.
Measurement of viscosity of lubricating oil is made with the help of an apparatus called the viscometer. In a viscometer, a fixed volume of liquid is allowed to flow from given height through a standard capillary tube under its own weight and the time of flow in secondss is noted. The time is proportional to true viscosity. Redwood viscometer is commonly used in commonwealth countries.
Redwood viscometer is of two types: Redwood viscometer No:1 is commonly used for determining viscosities of thin lubricating oils and it has a jet of bore diameter 1.61 and length 10mm. Redwood viscometer No.2 is used for measuring viscosities of highly viscous oils. It has a jet of diameter 3.8mm and length 15mm.
FORMULA: 1. Density (D) = D15[1-A(T-15)]kg/m^3.
Where, D15=Density of given oil=866kg/m^3 A=.00036 a constant T= Temperature of oil.
2. Kinematic viscosity (v)=At-B/t*10^-6 m2/s Where,
A=.247, B=65, for T=85 to 200 seconds T= Time taken to collect 50ml in seconds A=.264, B=190, for t=40 seconds
3. Dynamic viscosity (m)= D*v NS/m2
PROCEDURE:
1. The leveled oil cup is cleaned and ball valve rod is placed on the gate jet to close it. 2. Oil under test free from any suspension and dust is filled in the cup upto the pointer
level. 3. An empty conical flask is kept just below the jet. 4. Water is filled the bath and side-tube is heated slowly with constant stirring of the
bath. 5. When the oil is at the desired temperature, the ball valve is lifted and suspended
from thermometer bracket. 6. The time taken to collect 50ml of oil in the flask is noted and the valve is
immediately closed to prevent any overflow of oil. 7. The result is expressed in redwood No.1 seconds at particular temperature. 8. Similarly the above procedure is repeated for the oil at various temperatures and the
viscosity is found out. 9. Now a graph is drawn between the temperature and viscosity of oil.
GRAPH:
1, Temperature Vs Kinematic Viscosity
2, Temperature Vs Dynamic Viscosity
RESULT: Thus the viscosity of the lubricating oil is found out using Redwood Viscometer
and the graphs are drawn.
COMPOSITE WALLS APPARATUS EXP NO 7
The apparatus consists of a plates of different materials sandwiched between two
aluminium plates. Three types of slabs are provided on both sides of heater which forms a composite structure. A small hand press frame is provided to ensure the perfect contact between the slabs. A dimmerstat is provided for varying the input to the heater and measurement of input is carried out by a Voltmeter and Ammeter. Thermocouples are embedded between interfaces of input slabs, to read the temperatures at the surface.
The experiment can be conducted at various values of input and calculation can
be made accordingly.

EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT

b. To plot temperature gradient along composite wall structure
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
1. Arrange the plates properly (symmetrical) on both side of heater plate. See that
plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of heater plate (arranged normally) 2. Operate the hand press properly to ensure perfect contact between the plates
3. Close the box by cover sheet to achieve steady environmental conditions 4. Start the supply of heater. By varying the dimmerstat, adjust the input (range 30-70
watts) and start water supply 5. Take readings of all the thermocouples at an interval of 10 minutes until steady
state is reached 6. Note down the steady state readings in the observation table

For calculating the thermal conductivity of composite walls, it is assumed that due
to large diameter of the plates, heat flowing through central portion is unidirectional i.e. axial flow. Thus for calculations, central half dia. Area where unidirectional flow is assumed is considered. Accordingly thermocouples are fixed at close to centre of the plates.
Now,
Heat flux, q = [Q/A] Watts/m2
Where,
A = [3.14/4]x d2
Where, d = half dia. Of plates

2. Thermal conductivity of composite slab
KCOMPSITE = {q.b/[TA-TD]} W/m/K
b = total thickness of composite slab
= 0.045 m 3. To plaot thickness of slab material against temperature gradient.
NOTE : The heat flowing through different slabs does not essentially flow in axial direction but a part of it also goes radial outwards. Hence, real heat flow in axial direction for whole area of slabs is not known and hence by just knowing the temperature difference, thermal conductivity of the slabs cannot be determined.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep the dimmer stat zero before start
2. Increase voltage slowly
3. Keep all the assembly undisturbed
4. Remove air gap between plates slowly by moving hand press gently
5. When removing the plates do not disturb the thermocouples
6. Do not increase voltage above 200 V
7. Operate selector switch of temperature indicator slowly
