Adjustments may then be made to the fuel supply in order to balance the cylinder loads Torsionmeter If the torque transmitted by a shaft is known, together with the angular velocity, then the power can be measured, i.e shaft power = torque x angular velocity The torque on a shaft can be found by measuring the shear stress or angle of twist with a torsionmeter A number of different types of torsionmeter are described... engine is shown in Figure 2.7 The piston is solidly connected to a piston rod whkh is attached to a crosshead bearing at the other end The top end of the connecting rod is Exhaust manifold Turboblower Air inlet ports Crosshead Bottom end bearing Connecting rod A-frame Bedplate Crankshaft Figure 2.7 Cross-section of a two-stroke diesel engine Diesel engines 15 also joined to the crosshead bearing Ports are... 2 .10 (b) With uniflow scavenging the incoming air enters at the lower end of the cylinder and leaves at the top The outlet at the top of the cylinder may be ports or a large valve The process is shown in Figure 2 .10 (c) Each of the systems has various advantages and disadvantages Cross scavenging requires the fitting of a piston skirt to prevent air or exhaust gas escape when the piston is at the top... used to clean out or scavenge the exhaust 10 Diesel engines Figure 2.2 Four-stroke timing diagram gases and then to fill or charge the space with fresh air Instead of val*"js holes, known as 'ports', are used which are opened and closed by the sides of the piston as it moves Consider the piston at the top of its stroke where fuel injection and combustion have just taken place (Figure 2.3(a)) The piston .
