    Comparison
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing the work output of two ICE engines with identical bore, stroke, and cylinder pressures but differing leverage mechanics. The first engine operates conventionally, while the second features a unique twin-cylinder two-stroke design with pistons interacting with lobes on a stator, resembling a crankshaft. The user seeks to understand how these differences in leverage affect the work done by each engine under equal conditions. There is an emphasis on the need for clarity regarding the definitions of power and work to facilitate the comparison. The conversation highlights the importance of sharing calculations and thoughts for effective assistance.

I need to compare two ICE engines. I need to know the "work" of one compared to another.
Let's say the first engine has a bore of 3'' and a sroke of 3" connecting rod 5.25. If you need
cylinder presure,say PCP is 5000psi At 20 degrees ATDC and tapers to 800psi at 90 degrees ATDC. The second engine has the same bore and stroke,and same pressures. The only difference is the effective leverage, which is 10"-1.5" at TDC and 10"+1.5" at BDC,and no connecting rod angle (if that matters)?
I'am not interested in horse power, I just need to compare the work each could do with equal cylinder pressures/force? The second engine is not a conventional crank engine.
I hope this can be solved with the info provided if not please tell me.
Thanks Mike

Thread moved to ME/Aero for better views. xengineguy, even though this if for a project (so it qualifies for the general forums as opposed to the Homework Help forums), we still would prefer that you show us your work and thoughts so far, in order for us to help you figure this out.
 
Do you know the definitions of power and work?

Ok fill me in, I was looking for a simple way to compare.

Thanks for the move,berkeman.
The engine as designed,is a twin cylinder two stroke. The cylinders are attached to the output shaft,and 90 degrees compared to the shaft axis. Cylinder spacing is 180 degrees from each other. As the pistons move out from the axis the rollers on the pistons contact
the inner surface of the (stator).The inner surface of the stator has a pair of lobes,spaced180 degrees apart. These lobes act similer to a crankshaft in a conventional engine. The first ramp of the lobe is the compression stroke,the second ramp is the power stroke. NOTE: The pistons move down, away from the axis for the power stroke..The lobe height is equal to the stroke of the engine.
The max leverage is not limited to half the stroke...as per conventional engines. I think it is much more? If you would like to see a video of the prototype running go to YOUTUBE /marckel rotor stator engine.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
