Half engine speed refers to the operational rate at which an engine runs at 50% of its maximum rotational speed, often measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed can be significant for performance tuning, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity, as it typically indicates a more manageable and stable operating condition. In practical applications, running an engine at half speed can reduce wear and tear while optimizing fuel consumption.

Why do we use throttle valve in steam engines?

For a steam engine, the steam(throttle) valve that sets the engine speed/power is often known as a regulator. k.Shiva


How VVTI works?

It is a variable valve timing innovations from toyota, where in power and fuel efficiency can be optimized by varying the timing of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft of an engine,by retarding or advancing the camshaft by a certain phase angles.A conventional engine has it's camshaft rotate half the crankshaft rotation and the performance of a such engine would be in it's peak efficiency for a single speed only.Engineers developed a technology to overcome this in-efficiencies by introducing variable valve timing where camshaft rotation can advance or retard with respect to the crankshaft,hence optimising performance and fuel efficiency.


What symptom will be exhibited on an engine equipped with a pneumatic governor system if the cooling fins are plugged?

If the cooling fins on an engine equipped with a pneumatic governor system are plugged, the engine may exhibit symptoms of overheating. This can lead to reduced performance, erratic engine behavior, and potential failure of the governor system to regulate engine speed effectively. Additionally, the engine may produce unusual noises or vibrations due to thermal stress and increased friction.


How working the governor during steam turbine operate?

governor senses the speed of spindle of engine and controls the mechanism of opening and closing of throttle valve


What is a make or break engine?

A "make AND break engine" is an engine which controls power/speed by making (enabling) and breaking (disabling) the ignition cycle. In one classic design: One or more large flywheels are attached to the crankshaft. A flyweight governor is also attached to the crankshaft. When the shaft speed slows, the flyweight falls inward, releasing a mechanism which allows the exhaust valve to open. When the piston rises to the cylinder head, the exhaust is pushed out. When the piston pulls back, suction is created. a check valve (one-way valve) in the exhaust closes. That resulting suction opens the intake valve and draw fuel/air mix in. The piston then compresses, ignition occurs, and we get a power stoke. This kicks the crankshaft speed back up. The flyweight pushes out, covering the exhaust valve, and thus blocking further engine cycles. The flywheel, crankshaft, and piston run free, on momentum, until shaft speed slows again, and the process repeats. This is in contrast to most modern engines, which vary speed/power with a throttle, limiting and increasing fuel/air mix, but keeping the ignition cycle active at all times.

When engine is at 1000 RPM at what rpm is the mechanical distributor?

The mechanical distributor typically operates at half the engine speed in a four-stroke engine with a conventional ignition system. Therefore, if the engine is running at 1000 RPM, the mechanical distributor would generally be at 500 RPM. This assumes a direct relationship between the engine speed and the distributor speed, which is common in many setups.

What is the speed of camshaft compared with that of the crankshaft?

The camshaft typically operates at half the speed of the crankshaft in a four-stroke engine. This is because the camshaft needs to complete one full rotation for every two revolutions of the crankshaft, which is responsible for the engine's power stroke. This relationship ensures that the opening and closing of the engine's valves are synchronized with the movement of the pistons.


What is the difference in engine pto and ground pto?

An engine PTO runs off the engine thus the speed is governed by the speed of the engine. A ground PTO is ran from the rotation of the tires. Therefore the speed is governed by the speed of the rotation of the tires.
