- Q4: a) Determine the valve lift & valve dimensions of an engine from the following data: Bore 140 mm; Stroke = 270 mm; Power = 8.25 kW; Speed = 475 r.p.m.; Maximum gas pressure = 3.5 N/mm²; the mean velocity of the gas through the port (VP) is 40 m/s. The safe stress in bending for the valve material is 56 MPa. The valve is made of steel for which k = 0.42. The angle at which the valve disc seat is tapered is 45°. Take the permissible bending stress =56MPa. Any other data required for the design may be assumedarrow_forwardWhat are centrifugal pumps?arrow_forward2.4.

A wash basin cold tap is located 3 meters above the mains supply, connected to the mains pipe with a copper pipe of internal diameter 15 mm and length 12 meters. When the tap is opened the flow rate of water out of the tap is 24 litres per minute, creating a Fanning friction factor in the pipe of 0.008.arrow_forwardDescribe all the methods of measuring flow in field for pipe flow?arrow_forward
