iv) What is diesel knock? How is it controlled? 4


Answer:
Diesel knock:
The knock phenomenon of C.I. engine depends upon delay period. If delay period is small then
less amount of fuel is admitted into cylinder during ignition delay period. As it burns smoothly 2
knocking do not occur.
If the delay period is long, then more amount of fuel is accumulated in the combustion chamber
during ignition delay period. When it actually burns, sudden pressure rise will cause the engine to
vibrate, resulting in noise and this is said to be knocking.

Methods of controlling Diesel knocking:


1) The delay period can also be reduced by reducing the degree of turbulence as it will
reduce heat loss. However, it will increase the combustion period and thus reduce thermal
efficiency. 2
2) The delay period can be reduced by adding chemical dopes, called ignition accelerators
(ethyl-nitrate and amyl – nitrate).
3) Delay period can be reduced by multiple injections so that only small amount of fuel is
injected at first (pilot injection).

5 P-Ө diagram (2 Marks)

ii) Describe L-MPFI system with the help of block diagram. 6


Answer: L- MPFI SYSTEM:

The L-MPFI system is a port fuel injection system. In this type, the fuel metering is regulated by the
engine speed and the amount of air that actually enters the engine. The Air Flow Sensor measures the
amount of air and sends information to the ECU. Speed sensor sends information about the speed of the 3
engine to the ECU. ECU processes the information and sends commands to the injector, in order to
regulate the amount of petrol supply for injection. When injection takes place, the petrol mixes with the
air and the mixture enters the cylinder.

b) Draw the block diagram of common rail direct injection system and explain its working 8
Answer: Common rail direct injection system:

Working:
i. In the common rail direct injection system different sensors are used for operation. These
sensors collect information about engine operating condition and send signal to the CRDI
System.
ii. Microprocessor receives the sensor signals, converts the signal in required format and then
processes the signals. e.g. Analog signals are converted into digital signals. Digital signals are 4
amplified. Then the data is compared with the look- up tables. In the Logic and power
modules, the actuators are controlled for desired control of the system. The actuators include
Fuel injectors, EGR valve, Glow control unit etc.

iv. Information is also available in form of Diagnostic trouble codes at the dashboard. It can also
be availed from the EDC using a scan tool.

c) Explain the working of positive Crank case ventilation with neat sketch 8
Answer: Positive Crank case ventilation:
The positive crankcase ventilation system is designed to control the emission from the crankcase. It is
used to keep the crankcase clean of blow-by gases. It prevents the contamination of lubricating oil in the oil
sump by fuel and products of combustion. It keeps the crankcase well ventilated. It has a calibrated passage 4
connected between oil filler tube and the air cleaner.
It allows air to enter the crankcase only when the throttle valve is less than half open. At full throttle, the
two hoses connected to air cleaner and manifold convey fumes to the induction system for burning in the
engine. For correct operation of the engine, the crankcase is sealed during the operation of the engine.
Components such as oil dip stick and oil filler cap is effectively sealed to prevent escape of the crankcase
fumes.

b) Describe four properties of CI engine fuels. 8

Answer: Properties of CI engine fuels: (Any 4 - 2 Marks Each)


8
(a)Flash point: - flash point is the temperature at which a flammable liquid will produce, with a
standardized apparatus and procedure, a mixture of its vapour and air which will ignite to give a
visible flash by contact with an open flame.
(b) Fire point: - Fire point is the temperature at which the flash will sustain itself as a steady flame
for at least five seconds. The flash and fire points indicate the temperature below which oil can be
handled without danger of fire, otherwise they are of little consequence.
(c) Viscosity: - Viscosity of a fuel is a measure of its resistance to flow. Viscosity is important in
lubrication and in pumping flow and spraying of liquids. Hence it is quite significant for diesel fuels.
Diesel viscosity should be low to permit bulk flow in pumping and high enough to do the necessary
lubrication. Very high viscosity can render starting from cold difficult and produce undesirable high
pressure on pump and fuel lines. Too low a viscosity can cause undue wear of pump and increased
maintenance.
(d) Cloud point: - the temperature below which the wax content of the petroleum oil separates out in
the form of a solid is called cloud point. Such waxy solid can clog fuel lines and fuel filters.
(e) Pour point: - Pour point is the temperature below which the entire mass of fuel, solid or liquid
together, freeze and thus cause flow of fuel impossible. Pour point is usually 5 to 10 C below the
cloud point.
(f) Contamination: - the contents of sand and rust particles can clog small openings and abrasive
particles can damage injector surface piston rings and cylinder walls. The water content of fuel can
freeze and clog filter and fuel lines and promote rusting in fuel system.
(g) Sulphur:- A high sulphur content in diesel fuel causes corrosion, wear of engine parts, especially
the cylinder walls, and tends to increase the rate of sticky and sludge –like deposits.
Volatility and Ignition Quality may also be given credit.

c) What is delay period? State the factors affecting the delay period. 8
Answer: Delay period:
For a diesel fuel smooth spontaneous ignition at relatively low temperature is essential.
Ignition delay period is the time period between start of injection and start of combustion, has a great 2
influence on the correct optimization of a diesel engine.
OR
It is the time immediately following injection of the fuel during which the ignition process is being
initiated and the pressure does not rise beyond the value it would have due to compression of air.
The factors affecting the delay period are: (Any 6 - 1 Mark Each)
1. Self-Ignition Temperature of the fuel.
2. Intake Temperature and pressure in the cylinder at the time of injection.
3. Compression Ratio.
4. Engine Speed.

ii) Define :
i) Octane Number 4
ii) Cetane Number

Answer:
i) Octane Number:
It is the property of a fuel which describes how fuel will or will not self-ignite is called Octane
number of that fuel. Engines with low compression ratio can use fuels with lower octane number, but high-
compression engines must use high-octane fuel to avoid self-ignition and detonation.
OR
The percentage of Octane in the blends of reference fuels that gives same Detonation intensity in the 2
CFR variable compression ratio engine, as that of fuel under test is called the Octane number of the fuel.

ii) Cetane Number:


Cetane number of Diesel fuel is a measure of its ignition quality. The percentage of Cetane in
blends of reference fuels which gives exactly the same ignition delay (13°) when subjected to the same
compression ratio as that of fuel under test in CFR variable compression ratio engine is called the Cetane
number of the fuel. 2

Answer: Glow Plug:
Operation Of Glow Control Unit. :
On modern vehicles, engine‘s central ECU controls-high electrical glow-plug current, indicator lamp,
Safety override and automatic switching off the Glow- plugs.
The preheating phase begins when the key is turned to ‘Ignition on‘. A temperature sensor in the glow
control unit controls preheating period, so that the glow plug can reach the temperature necessary for 3
efficient starting. At the end of glow period, the Preheating indicator (glow plug) lamp goes out to signal that
the engine can be started. The glow process continues as long as the starter remains in operation, or until the
safety over ride comes into effect. This limits the loads on battery due to glow plugs.

Start phase: Here the glow plug must heat to starting temperature (approx. 850° C) as rapidly as possible.
Plug location within the combustion chamber are selected to ensure access to an ignitable mixture. Modern
glow plugs heat to required temp in roughly 4 seconds.

Post Start Phase: The glow plugs continue to operate briefly the engine has started. This improves initial
engine operation. It reduces blue smoke emission & combustion noise. The periods involved are not more
than 180 seconds.

(Note: Credit should be given to Equivalent diagram)

ii) Draw evaporative emission control system schematic diagram and describe it’s working. 6
Answer: Evaporative emission control system:

 
 
Evaporative Emission control systems reduce the emission of petrol vapours from the fuel tank and
carburetor vents. In warm weather, petrol evaporates more easily. The vapour pressure of petro is more
closely controlled, which is helping in the control of these emissions also. Evaporative emissions are said to 3
account for about 20 % of a vehicle emission. A parked vehicle can emit substantial amount of Unburnt
hydrocarbons if it is not equipped with this system or if the system is not working properly.
It consists of a Charcoal Canister. Activated charcoal can store petrol vapours until the right time for
them to be drawn into the engine and burnt. When the engine is off, vapours are routed through lines and
hoses to a charcoal canister where they are stored. When the engine is running, the vapours are purged from
the canister. They are drawn to the intake manifold for burning in the cylinders.

e) State the effect of engine maintenance on exhaust emission. 4


Answer: Effect of engine maintenance on exhaust emission:

1) S.I. engine maintenance determines whether the engine will operate at designed air: fuel ratio &
for how long. This includes Checking of - piston ring wear, lubrication , cooling , deposits , dirt
on air cleaner element , sticking choke valve & other factors that are likely to affect the air: fuel 2
ratio supplied or it’s combustion in combustion chamber. For example, a misfire allows an entire
air: fuel charge to be exhausted without combustion; a very dirty air cleaner can reduce A: F
ratio, generally increasing emissions of HC& CO.

2) C.I. engine maintenance decides the Smoke level. Lubricating oil flowing past the piston rings,
results in blue – white smoke. Blue – white smoke , other than during cold starting , indicates 2
that piston rings are worn –out & maintenance is needed. Maintenance affects injection
characteristics (i.e. affects spray penetration→ inadequate/excess; droplet size-unsuitable;
duration of injection-excessive, secondary injection & improper dispersion- atomization. All
these characteristics substantially increase the smoke level) Good Maintenance of injectors is a
must for lower smoke levels.

d) Explain the operation of electronically controlled diesel injection system
Answer: Electronically controlled diesel injection system:
(Note: Marks may be given to equivalent answer and block diagram.)

1. The Electronic Diesel Control Engine Control Unit (EDC ECU) receives signal from various sensors
like Control spool position sensor, air mass sensor, engine speed sensor, Manifold absolute Pressure
sensor, vehicle speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor.
2. The data is processed and using various actuators like control spool solenoid, timing advance unit
solenoid, EGR solenoid and glow plug control module, the engine operation is controlled.
3. Depending on the position of the control spool, fuel injection quantity is varied.
4. The timing advance unit (Through EDC ECU) controls the pressure applied to advance unit and times
the injection by changing the control signal to the solenoid. 4
5. EDC ECU controls idle speed of engine by separately controlling the fuel delivered to each cylinder of
the engine. It also controls fuel delivery at other operating conditions while ensuring precise control
over injection timing, quantity and speed of the engine.
6. EDC ECU also includes a diagnostic function. In case of a fault, ECU detects it and illuminates a
warning lamp in the instrument panel to alert the driver that a fault has occurred. If a sensor circuit
fails, the ECU will substitute the value of sensor circuit to provide Limited Emergency Operation of
the system.

e) State four methods of controlling diesel smoke. Explain any one method

Answer: Methods of controlling diesel smoke : (Methods 2 marks - explanation of one method- 2 marks)

1) De-rating:- At lower loads, the air: fuel ratio obtained will be leaner & hence the smoke developed
will be less. However this means a loss of output.

2) Maintenance: - Maintaining the injection system of engine properly results in a a) significantly


reduced smoke. b) Best engine performance. c) Clean exhaust system. Other methods are changes in
combustion chamber geometry, fumigation, use of smoke suppressant additives. 4
 
3) Smoke suppressant additives:- Some barium compound, if used in fuel, reduce the temp of
combustion, thus avoiding the soot formation, & if formed- they break it into the fine particles, thus
appreciably reducing smoke.

4) Fumigation:- Fumigation consists of introducing a small amount of fuel into the intake manifold. This
shortens the delay period- curbs thermal cracking which is responsible for soot formation.
