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 as follow:
there are 5 major categories:
1. Operating feature
2. Cylinder arrangement
3. Piston connection
4. Piston action
5. Speed
the sub-categories for each of the above will be:
1a. 2-stroke
1b. 4-stroke
2a. Horizontal
2b. Vertical
2c. Inline
2d. Vee
2e. Radial
3a. Trunk type
3b. Crosshead type
4a. single-acting
4b. double-acting
5a. Slow speed
5b. Medium speed
5c. High speed
From the above, what are the possible configurations? I mean, can we have a 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a engine? and likewise. I would like to present it to my students with examples. Can anybody help?
Thanx
Abid
