    Valve Spring Dynamics on 4-Stroke Engines

    Hi guys, i am doing some calculations on the valve spring of a 4 stroke, 4 cylinder motor vehicle engine. To my understanding, valve bounce will occur once the valve spring is operated at a speed over their natural frequency (which i calculated to be 5500 rev/min). If i were to push the...

    How I can calculate the cv of a ball valve

    Hi! I am working with ball valves and I need to calculate the cv for several sizes. I only knows the pressure drop expressed in terms of the "equivalent feet". Unfortunally, I do not have a lab to measure. thanks a lot!

    Final Pressure in Two-Bulb Apparatus After Valve Opening

    Consider an apparatus where there are two rigid glass bulbs separated from one another by a valve that is closed initially. Bulb #1 has a pressure of 1.3 atm and a volume of 4.27 L and bulb #2 has a pressure of 6.6 atm and a volume of 7.40L. What is the final pressure (in atm) in the apparatus...

    Can Electro Hydraulic Valves Revolutionize Cam Shaft Engines?

    The auto industry will be using this method to contol inlet and exhuast valves, i think 6000 rpm is the limit so far with a 48v (coil), this system has many advantages ie variable valve timing/ dwell, what are the limitations of this idea and could it be retro fitted to cam shaft engines?

    Mechanical enery equation to valve equation

    Hi I’m writing my bachelor thesis about valves, and was wondering if anyone could help me with the following derivation: I need to show the algebraic link between the mechanical energy-equation and the ”valve equation” that is Cv=Q * [Square](Sg/[Delta]p). This can also be called the flow...

    Why Ferrari Doesn't Use Variable Valve Timing

    Why isn't Ferrari Variable valve timing - they have a 3d cam with variable profile along its length and shift the camshaft to provide variable valve timing, why isn't it popular? Is it because of the cost?

    What Do 1/4 NPT and 3/8 Orifice Size Mean for Solenoid Valves?

    I'm currently part of the propulsions team for a hybrid rocket project here on campus, working on the liquid fuel injector system. Specifically I'm trying to model which injector designs give us the best burn rate over the entire burn. However, I'm a physics major, not an engineering major, so...

    DIY: Adding a Valve to PVC Tube for Bicycle Pump

    I'd like to put a valve (like the ones on tire tubes) that will connect to a bicycle pump onto a PVC tube (on the side, or at the end). Anyone know how I can do this? What fittings will I need? Thanks.

    Rotating Valve Actuation for Musical Instruments

    I am looking for a method of actuating a valve on a musical instrument. This particular valve needs to rotate 90 degrees, but on some instruments, 120 degrees. I will like to actuate via wire control i.e. with a embedded computer. For example, close a switch, the valve rotates 90 degrees and...

    Statics lever and valve question

    a lever is resting on a valve. the valve is located 3 in from the end of the lever. the total length of the lever is 9.5 in. a 4 lb force is present at the opposite end of the lever. the force makes a 28 deg angle with the lever. the lever makes a 20 deg angle with the horizontal. I am supposed...
