Answer: A two stroke engine produces twice the power compared to a four stroke engine of same weight and size.

Explanation:

              In a  two stroke engine, all the four processes namely, intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke takes place in one revolution of crankshaft or two strokes of the piston. While in a four stroke engine, all the four processes namely intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke take place in two revolution of crankshaft or four strokes of the piston.

           Therefore, there is one power stroke in one revolutions of the crankshaft in case of a two stroke engine as compared to the four stoke engine where there is one power stroke for two revolutions of the crank shaft.

            So the power developed in a two stroke engine is more ( nearly twice ) as compared to a four stroke engine of the same capacity. When power produced is more, the heat dissipation is also more in case of a two stroke engine. So greater cooling is required to dissipate heat from a two stroke engine as compared to a four stroke engine.

          Also in a two stroke engine, the lubricating oil is used with the oil whereas a four stroke engine has a separate tank for lubricating oil. So the lubricating oil gets burnt quickly in a two stroke engine.

Thus, to dissipate more heat, a two stroke engines has greater cooling and lubrication requirements than a four stroke engines as power produce in a two stroke engine is more than a four stoke engine with same weight or size.

Answer:

A two-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution.

A four-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction.

process for two stroke engine

This is in contrast to a "four-stroke engine", which requires four strokes of the piston to complete a power cycle during two crankshaft revolutions.In a two-stroke engine, the end of the combustion stroke and the beginning of the compression stroke happen simultaneously, with the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions occurring at the same time.Two-stroke engines often have a high power-to-weight ratio, power being available in a narrow range of rotational speeds called the "power band". Compared to four-stroke engines, two-stroke engines have a greatly reduced number of moving parts.

process for four stroke engine

A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed:

Intake: Also known as induction or suction. This stroke of the piston begins at top dead center (T.D.C.) and ends at bottom dead center (B.D.C.). In this stroke the intake valve must be in the open position while the piston pulls an air-fuel mixture into the cylinder by producing vacuum pressure into the cylinder through its downward motion. The piston is moving down as air is being sucked in by the downward motion against the piston.

Compression: This stroke begins at B.D.C, or just at the end of the suction stroke, and ends at T.D.C. In this stroke the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture in preparation for ignition during the power stroke (below). Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during this stage.

Combustion: Also known as power or ignition. This is the start of the second revolution of the four stroke cycle. At this point the crankshaft has completed a full 360 degree revolution. While the piston is at T.D.C. (the end of the compression stroke) the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines), forcefully returning the piston to B.D.C. This stroke produces mechanical work from the engine to turn the crankshaft.

Exhaust: Also known as outlet. During the exhaust stroke, the piston, once again, returns from B.D.C. to T.D.C. while the exhaust valve is open. This action expels the spent air-fuel mixture through the exhaust valve.

characteristics of two stroke and four stroke engines (which one gets hotter)

Since there are twice as many power strokes during the operation of a two-stroke engine as there are during the operation of a four-stroke engine, the engine tends to heat up more, and thus is likely to have a shorter life. Also, in the two-stroke engine lubricating oil must be mixed with the fuel.

For the following conditions determine whether a CMFR or a PFR is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.

Xₚբᵣ = 0.632

X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5

Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ

Explanation:

From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction

Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is

kτ = (X)/(1 - X)

k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day

τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀

V = volume of reactor = 280 m³

F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day

X = conversion

k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)

0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)

1 = X/(1 - X)

X = 1 - X

2X = 1

X = 1/2 = 0.5

For the PFR

Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by

kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]

The parameters are the same as above,

0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)

1 = In (1/(1-X))

e = 1/(1 - X)

2.718 = 1/(1 - X)

1 - X = 1/2.718

1 - X = 0.3679

X = 1 - 0.3679

X = 0.632

The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.

Answer:

public class TextConverterDemo

{

//Method definition of action1337

public static String action1337(String current)

{

//Replace each L or l with a 1 (numeral one)

 current = current.replace('L', '1');

 current = current.replace('e', '3');

 //Replace each T or t with a 7 (numeral seven)

 current = current.replace('T', '7');

 current = current.replace('t', '7');

 //Replace each O or o with a 0 (numeral zero)

 current = current.replace('O', '0');

 current = current.replace('o', '0');

 

//Replace each S or s with a $ (dollar sign)

 current = current.replace('S', '$');

Technician A says the final drive assembly always has a gear ratio of 1:1. Technician B says the final drive assembly provides f
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

The last stage of gears found between the vehicle transmission system and the wheels is the final drive ratio. The function of the final drive gear assembly is to enable a gear reduction control stage to reduce the rotation per minute and increase the wheel torque, such that the vehicle performance can be adjusted and the final gear ratio can be between 3:1 and 4.5:1 not 1:1

Therefore, technician B only is correct
