Hello all..
Id like to ask another question here,we have seen single cylinder engines on many bikes being put in the horizontal axis,what advantage or savings in power could this possibly bring.(honda c series, mobex regina see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_cylinder_engine)
I...
Yes this is exactly our test jig.

Well the engine was not being lubricated using a pump although it has considerable amount of lube oil inside it.
The engine was being motored between 250-1800rpm.
I don't see any other changes being made in between the tests.Also the frictional...
Yes there were no auxiliary systems connected when we ran the tests in both the orientation.Could there be a difference in the crank train or valve train losses if the engine reciprocated in the horizontal plane?
What about the piston assembly?
What could the reduction be attributed to is my...
Well we actually never ran the engine, we were basically conducting a motoring test that is using a motor to run the engine using a belt drive.
About the orientation:
The standard position of an engine would be vertical that is the piston would reciprocate up and down.
We rotate the engine...

A part of my final year project involves the determination of frictional power of an I.C.Engine(for this we used a 4cyl isuzu si engine) using a typical motoring test(using a 3ph ind motor and the engine was stripped of all its accessories liek alternator water pump), and finding...
