Components of the internal combustion engine (IC Engine)

July 12, 2022July 21, 2022 Dr. Jennifer Russel 1 Comment

Components of the internal combustion engine: An internal combustion engine is the source of “power” in a car. Internal combustion engines can be broadly classified based on their operation, number of cylinders, and the fuel used. Depending on your operation, the engine can be either two-stroke or four-stroke. In two-stroke engines, the work cycle is…

Alternator in Automobile Engineering

January 6, 2022July 14, 2023 Dr. Jennifer Russel 1 Comment

All alternators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. According to this act, a conductor, magnetic field, and mechanical energy are required to generate electricity The main parts of an alternator are, apparently, a stator and a rotor. But, unlike other machines, in most alternators, the field exciter rotates and the armature coil becomes stationary….

Suspension System in Automobile Engineering

December 29, 2021July 30, 2023 Dr. Jennifer Russel 2 Comments

Automobile Suspension System Road Irregularities: 1. Daily use of road infrastructure, continual changes in weather conditions, and vehicle overweight will produce different wear patterns of the road surface. 2. Furthermore, a poor road construction process will eventually lead to uneven road surfaces. 3. Almost 20% of accidents are caused by the state of the infrastructure….
