Semi-forward chassis.
Introduction of Chassis Frame: Chassis is a French term and was initially usedto denote the frame parts or Basic Structure of the vehicle.
It is the back bone of the vehicle. A vehicle with out body is called Chassis. The components ofthe vehicle like Power plant, Transmission System, Axles, Wheels and Tyres, Suspension, Controlling Systems like Braking, Steering etc., and also electrical system parts are mounted on the Chassis frame.
It is the main mounting for all the components including the body. So it is also called as Carrying Unit.

Components of Chassis
The following main components of the Chassis are 1. Frame: it is made up of long two members called side members riveted together with the help of number of cross members. 2. Engine or Power plant: It provides the source of power 3. Clutch: It connects and disconnects the power from the engine fly wheel to the transmission system. 4. Gear Box 5. U Joint 6. Propeller Shaft 7. Differential

Integral Frame:
Integral Frame: This frame is used now a days in most of the cars. There is no frame and all the assembly units are attached to the body. All the functions of the frame carried out by the body itself. Due to elimination of long frame it is cheaper and due to less weight most economical also.
It is also called unitized frame-body construction. In this case, the body shell and underbody are welded into single unit. The underbody is made of floor plates and channel and box sections welded into single unit.
Only disadvantage is repairing is difficult.

Flywheel Crankshaft
Chrome-molybdenum or nickel-molybdenum steel Used to guide and seal piston and to mount cylinder assembly to head Barrel threads into head to form cylinder assembly
Engine Parts, Description, Function, Construction Cylinder heads Constructed of cast aluminum Provides combustion chamber, and mounting areas for spark plugs and valve parts
Engine Parts, Description, Function, Construction The cylinder head is designed to transfer heat by conduction to the fins and then from the fins to the air by convection The exhaust side of the head has the most fins as it runs the hottest The head also may incorporate a drain line fitting to allow excess oil to return to the crankcase (intercylinder drain lines on radials)
Engine Parts, Description, Function, Construction Valve Guides Made of bronze Secured in the head by an interference (shrink) fit
Valve Seats Made of chrome steel, stellite, or brass Secured by interference fit
Crankcase The crankcase holds all of the engine parts in alignment and supports the cylinders and crankshaft It provides a place to mount the engine to the aircraft Constructed of aluminum alloy Divided into sections (radial)
Nose section - Houses prop shaft and bearings Power section - mount for cylinders Fuel induction section - intake tubes, blower, manifolds (supercharger) Accessory section - mounts for magnetos, pumps, generators (magnesium)
Pistons Constructed of aluminum alloy Parts include top, ring grooves, ring lands, skirt, and piston pin boss Cooling fins on the bottom help the oil carry heat away from the piston top
Cam ground pistons diameter of the piston is greater perpendicular to the piston pin boss This compensates for uneven expansion during operation (becomes round at operating temperature)
Piston rings (general) Provide seal between cylinder wall and piston Rings ride on a thin film of oil Conduct heat from the piston out to the cylinder and the fins Material is cast iron or chrome steel Piston rings (type) Compression rings are located at the top of the piston and seal the combustion chamber Types include rectangular, tapered,wedge
Compression rings
Oil control rings On bottom of piston below compression rings . Regulates oil film thickness on cylinder wall. Holes in ring and piston allow excess oil to drain back to crankcase. Too much oil film and the engine will use excessive oil and too little oil causes heat and insufficient lubrication. Oil scraper rings Directs the oil away from or towards the oil control rings depending upon the requirements of the engine.
Piston ring end gap The gap at the end of the rings allows for expansion and contraction and unevenness in the cylinder wall Butt, step and angle types Always stagger the end gaps during ring installation to prevent losing compression
Piston Pins (wrist pins) Connects the piston to the end of the connecting rod. Constructed of hardened steel. The pin is retained in the piston with clips or plugs to prevent cylinder wall scoring. Typical Lycoming and Continental pins are freefloating, meaning the pin is not secured to the piston or the rod.
Connecting Rod Assembly The link between the crankshaft and the piston Normally steel but some low powered engines use aluminum to save weight Cross section is an H or I Types include : Plain Rod Fork and blade rod Master and articulated
Used on radial engines Uses knuckle pins to retain articulated rods to master
Master Rod Articulating Rod
Crankshaft
Changes reciprocating motion of pistons into rotating motion to drive propeller Constructed of chrome-nickel-molybdenum-steel May be one piece or as many as three separate pieces The propeller mounts to the front of the crankshaft using a spline, taper, or flange The crankshaft rotates within the crankcase and is supported by main bearing journals Crankshaft throws or crankpins are off center and account for the reciprocating motion of the pistons
Dynamic Dampers can be mounted to the crankshaft to reduce vibration (floating) Counterweights are also used to reduce vibration but they are rigid and do not float Counterweights and dampers are used in piston engines because the power pulses and movement of the pistons create large amounts of vibration Vibration shortens airframe and engine life and can lead to premature component failure The engine is also mounted in rubber bushings to absorb vibration
Valves and the Valve System Valves control the flow of gases inside the engine Poppet valves are the most common and get their name from the popping open and closed during operation Intake valves are chrome steel and are cooled by the incoming air and fuel mixture Exhaust valves are also alloy steel but are often filled with metallic sodium for cooling. Valve faces may be coated with Stellite to reduce wear and corrosion Valve faces are ground to 30 degrees for intake (airflow) and 45 degrees (cooling) for exhaust
Valve Springs Inner and outer springs are used to prevent bounce, provide redundancy, and increase valve closing pressure Held in place by retainer washers on the top and bottom of the spring Split key or keeper holds the retainers and springs in place on the valve stem
May be solid, roller, or hydraulic The lifter follows the cam lobes and pushes on the pushrod Solid and roller lifters require adjustable rocker arms Hydraulic type lifters fill with oil and lengthen to compensate for any clearances in the valve system
Camshaft Turns at 1/2 the speed of the crankshaft Must be mechanically coupled to the crankshaft for timing purposes (gears, belts, chains) The camshaft consists of bearing journals and lobes spaced along the shaft Each lobe is positioned to open and close a valve at a specific time
Lobe
Pushrod transmits push of lifter up to rocker arm Hollow to allow oil to flow to the top of the cylinder for valve part lubrication Length can be varied to adjust valve clearance Valve clearance is the space between the top of the valve stem and the rocker arm. This clearance is to prevent a valve from being held open with the resulting heat build-up and loss of compression valve clearance increases as the engine operates due to cylinder expansion (solid lifters) Hydraulic lifters have a 0 clearance in operation
Rocker Arm Adjustable in solid lifter engines and fixed in engines with hydraulic lifters One end rests on the valve stem and the other on the pushrod Rocking motion opens and closes the valves Roller rocker arms incorporate a roller that reduces friction and are used in some radials and experimental engines
Spur Gears
Simple drive and driven gear system. Number of teeth on gear and gear diameters determine reduction ratio. Large gear would be mounted to propeller as it turns the slowest
Planetary Gears Ring gear, Planet gear, Sun gear Large gear reductions possible Compact and versatile Common in large radials and turbine engines
There are a few safety precautions that need to be followed when checking the lubrication and cooling systems in an engine
1. The engine should be cold before you start. 2. The cap on the top of almost every car or truck radiator (or on the separate coolant reservoir) is designed for safety first letting any builtup pressure escape slowly before the cap is completely removed. 3. Dont touch the oil because it maybe hot. 4. Wear gloves or use a rag. 5. Wear safety glasses. Can anyone give me another?
Does anyone know the importance of lubrication and cooling systems in an engine? The lubrication and cooling system of an internal- combustion engine is very important. If the lubricating system should fail, not only will the engine stop, but many of the parts are likely to be damage beyond repair. Coolant protects your engine from freezing or overheating.

Dry-Sump System
Dry-Sump
Affects the behavior of the combustion of the fuel/air charge. It weakens and shortens the life of engine parts. It impairs lubrication.
Half of the heat goes out the exhaust, and the other is absorbed by the engine.
Oil picks up some heat and transfers it to the airstream. The engine cooling system takes care of the rest.
This arrangement increases the heat transfer by radiation (from a jug to a barrel).
Cylinders are normally replaced when a specified number of square inches of fins are missing.
Keeps the engine from overheating on take off and getting too cold in high-speed low-power letdowns.

INTRODUCTION
The power out put of an engine depends upon the amount of air inducted per unit time and the degree of utilization of this air , and the thermal efficiency of the engine.
Three possible methods utilized to increase the air consumption of an engine are as follows: Increasing the piston displacement: This increases the size and weight of the engine, and introduces additional cooling problems. Running the engine at higher speeds: This results in increased mechanical friction losses and imposes greater inertia stresses on engine parts. Increasing the density of the charge: This allows a greater mass of the charge to be inducted into the same volume.
Definition
The most efficient method of increasing the power of an engine is by supercharging, i.e. increasing the flow of air into the engine to enable more fuel to be burnt. A Supercharger is run by the mechanical drive, powered by engine power . A turbocharger uses the otherwise unused energy in the exhaust gases to drive a turbine directly connected by a co-axial shaft to a rotary compressor in the air intake system.

Purpose: control emissions and exhaust from vehicle Turn the harmful gases the car manufactures into harmless ones that don't ruin the environment Problem gases :
hydrocarbons (unburned) carbon monoxide nitrogen oxides sulfur dioxide phosphorus lead and other metals HC CO NOx SO2 P Pb
130
131
HC
HC results from gasoline that is not burned in the engine. This can be due from misfires, burning rich, open loop operation, or excessive cranking.
132
CO
CO results from the incomplete combustion of organic materials. gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, propane, coal, wood, charcoal, diesel fuel, heating oil and almost any other combustible material, such as tobacco and paper.
133
NOx
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are reactive gases Cause a host of environmental concerns impacting adversely on human health and welfare. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), in particular, is a brownish gas that has been linked with higher susceptibility to respiratory infection, increased airway resistance in asthmatics, and decreased pulmonary function. Other effects: Principle cause of ground-level ozone formation Contribute to acid deposition, which can damage trees at high elevations and increases the acidity of lakes and streams, which can severely damage aquatic life Contribute to increased levels of particulate matter by changing into nitric acid in the atmosphere and forming particulate nitrate

Two Way Catalyst: oxidize CO and HC to CO2 and H2O. Temperature of 200C for catalyst to "light off". Above 450C, oxidation of SO2 to SO3 occurs, combines with water to form sulfuric acid. Leads to the formation of sulfates. (acid rain) 2-way catalyst may reduce NOx by 10-20 %.
2 way
144
3 way
Reactions between CO, HC, and NOx result in the removal of all three major exhaust pollutants. In order to get high conversions of CO and NOx, the air-to-fuel mixture should be held close to the stoichiometric requirement. If not, conversion of either NOx or CO will deteriorate. Requires monitoring the oxygen in the exhaust gas and using it in a feedback loop to adjust the fuel to air ratio. Makes the 3-way closed loop system more expensive than an open loop 2-way, or an open loop 3-way system. Some latest catalysts have a NOx reduction of 7075%. 145

TURBOCHARGERS
The major disadvantage of a supercharger is its reliance on engine power to drive the unit. By connecting a centrifugal supercharger to a turbine drive wheel and installing it in the exhaust path, the lost engine horsepower is regained to perform other work and the combustion heat energy lost in the engine exhaust (as much as 40% to 50%) can be harnessed to do useful work.
TURBOCHARGERS
The turbochargers main advantage over a mechanically driven supercharger is that the turbocharger does not drain power from the engine. In a naturally aspirated engine, about half of the heat energy contained in the fuel goes out the exhaust system.
FIGURE 19-7 A turbocharger uses some of the heat energy that would normally be wasted.
TURBOCHARGERS
TURBOCHARGERS
Turbocharger Design and Operation
A turbocharger consists of two chambers connected by a center housing. The two chambers contain a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel connected by a shaft which passes through the center housing.
TURBOCHARGERS
Turbocharger Design and Operation
FIGURE 19-9 The exhaust drives the turbine wheel on the left, which is connected to the impeller wheel on the right through a shaft. The bushings that support the shaft are lubricated with engine oil under pressure.
TURBOCHARGERS
Turbocharger Design and Operation
If properly maintained, the turbocharger also is a trouble-free device. However, to prevent problems, the following conditions must be met:
The turbocharger bearings must be constantly lubricated with clean engine oil turbocharged engines should have regular oil changes at half the time or mileage intervals specified for nonturbocharged engines.
TURBOCHARGERS
Turbocharger Design and Operation
Dirt particles and other contamination must be kept out of the intake and exhaust housings. Whenever a basic engine bearing (crankshaft or camshaft) has been damaged, the turbocharger must be flushed with clean engine oil after the bearing has been replaced. If the turbocharger is damaged, the engine oil must be drained and flushed and the oil filter replaced as part of the repair procedure.
TURBOCHARGERS
Turbocharger Size and Response Time
A time lag occurs between an increase in engine speed and the increase in the speed of the turbocharger. This delay between acceleration and turbo boost is called turbo lag To minimize turbo lag, the intake and exhaust breathing capacities of an engine must be matched to the exhaust and intake airflow capabilities of the turbocharger.
