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.

C++ - Green Crud Fibonacci programThe following program is to be written with a loop. You are to write this program three times
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Below is the required code:

Explanation:

Using for loop

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    //Initial crud size

    int init = 0;

    int newCrud;

    int next=0;

    //Number of days to simulate

    int no_days;

    int day;

    cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

    cin >> newCrud;

    cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

    cin >> no_days;

    for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

    {

         if (day % 10 == 0)

         {

             next = newCrud + init;

         }

             newCrud = init;

             init = next;

    }

    if (no_days < 5)

    cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days minimum.Hence the current amount is "

    << newCrud << " pounds.";

    else

    cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " << init

    << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

    cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n): ";

    cin >> ans;

         return 0;

}

Output:

         Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

         Enter number of days to simulate: 220

    On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans='y';

    while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y')

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud:

         ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate:

         ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have "

         << init

         << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or

         n): ";

         cin >> ans;

    }

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using do while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans;

    do

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " <<

         init << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n):

         ";

         cin >> ans;

    } while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y');

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Compressed Air In a piston-cylinder device, 10 gr of air is compressed isentropically. The air is initially at 27 °C and 110 kPa
Helen [10]

Answer:

(a) 2.39 MPa (b) 3.03 kJ (c) 3.035 kJ

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

A 10 gr of air is compressed isentropically

The initial air is at = 27 °C, 110 kPa

After compression air is at = a450 °C

For air,  R=287 J/kg.K

cv = 716.5 J/kg.K

y = 1.4

Now,

(a) W efind the pressure on [MPa]

Thus,

T₂/T₁ = (p₂/p₁)^r-1/r

=(450 + 273)/27 + 273) =

=(p₂/110) ^0.4/1.4

p₂ becomes  2390.3 kPa

So, p₂ = 2.39 MPa

(b) For the increase in total internal energy, is given below:

ΔU = mCv (T₂ - T₁)

=(10/100) (716.5) (450 -27)

ΔU =3030 J

ΔU =3.03 kJ

(c) The next step is to find the total work needed in kJ

ΔW = mR ( (T₂ - T₁) / k- 1

(10/100) (287) (450 -27)/1.4 -1

ΔW = 3035 J

Hence, the total work required is = 3.035 kJ
