I meant Jacket water cooling. And yes thanks for reminding me. It could be possible that any engine configuration could exist for some particular application. It is just that I wanted to show the most popular or the most used types. And also considering the fact that only you & ray b are...

So can I conclude that a normally aspirated engine among the above configurations cannot exist?

Ok guys, here's how it works I need to know if the following configurations are possible. If so, please tell me anyone application where it it used. 1. A 2-stroke-Inline-Horizontal-Trunk type-Single-acting-Air-cooled-Slow speed-Normally aspirated engine? 2. A...

A single example for each would do. This is targetted at students who are at the beginning of their engineering studies.

engine configurations Alright, I think I seem to have hit the same roadblock again. When I started on the idea, I was overwhelmed by the sheer range and permutation/combination the mixing of categories would produce. As I have been cautioned rightly, I think I need to take a different approach...

Yup, that's the whole idea. I want the student to go through every combination raised by my arbitrary classification system and see whether there's a real life example. The combinations may work out to a long list, but i am sure it will enlighten the student.

Let me make it clearer. If I were to choose, say the following combination: 1a, 2e, 3b, 4b, 5c from my list, which would translate as 2-stroke, radial, crosshead type, double-acting, high speed engine. Would such an engine practically exist? And are there any examples of application? (I have...

Thanx Danger, Sleep deprivation is the norm nowadays, so I think you better get used to it. Your suggestions are taken, but they still don't address my original query.

Thankyou Danger, Do hope to hear from you after you have had your nap. Well brewnog, mech-engineer and ray b, thank you for responding. I could add 'Type of air induction' as a major category that could include a-normal aspiration, b-supercharged, c-turbocharged as sub-categories. However...

Hi all, I am writing a course for budding engineers. I have been a marine engineer for long. While compiling my course I seem to have hit a roadblock that has made me aware of my ignorance in spite of my experience. I would like some help on this from anyone. I have classified diesel engines...
