Synchromesh gearbox is the latest version of Constant mesh type. It is a manually operated transmission in which, change of gears takes place between gears that are already revolving at the same speed. In this type of gearbox, gears can rotate freely or it are locked on layout shaft. Synchromesh is really an improvement on …
Octane Number and Cetane Number are the standards to measure the tendency of fuel to ignite spontaneously. Octane number measures the performance of gasoline while cetane number measure the performance of the diesel. The fuel having high octane number has the low cetane number and high cetane number fuel has low octane number. This is …

Knocking is a phenomenon of generating unwanted pressure wave which create unpleasant sound and can damage engine wall during combustion in engines. Knocking is largely associated with SI engines. It occurs due to self-ignition of unburned charge into combustion chamber. When two flame fronts in SI engines collide, they produce an unwanted pressure wave which …
Today we will learn about types of nozzle used in IC engines. Nozzle is that part of an injector through which the liquid fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber. It is used in Diesel engine in which fuel is drawn separately through injector at end of compression stroke and air is drawn into cylinder …
Today we will difference between Battery Ignition System and Magneto Ignition System. These both are major ignition system used in both light and heavy engines. In battery ignition system a battery and ignition coil is used to generate spark at spark plug but in magneto ignition system necessary energy is generated by its own electric generator. …
