Failure analysis of an intake valve in a gasoline engine
This paper presents a failure analysis on a failed intake valve in a gasoline engine. During an endurance test, an intake valve was broken and caused some damages on the piston. Material examinations (by a light microscope and also a scanning electron microscope) were conducted on the fracture surface of the intake valve shaft. Results showed that no pores or defects could be observed and the m...
متن کاملInventory System Modeling: A case of an Automotive Battery Manufacturer
Production systems necessarily feature both detail complexity, the effect of having many variables, and dynamic complexity, the effect of time and spatial separation, non-linearity, and counter-intuitive relationships between cause and effect. This paper presents a system dynamics modeling of a Nigerian automotive battery production organisation. Policy runs of the system simulation were done t...
متن کاملVibration control of an automotive engine using active mounts
In this research, vibration control of national engine (EF7) using active mounts is studied for two different mounting layouts. The first layout is based on the current engine mounting of national engine (system of three passive mounts), but the hydraulic mount is substituted by an active mount. The other mounting layout contains 4 mounts, 2 of which are active ones and the others are passive m...
متن کاملCobalt asthma--a case series from a cobalt plant.
BACKGROUND Cobalt has been shown to induce mainly asthma, allergic contact dermatitis and hard metal disease. The data on cobalt asthma are mainly based on case reports. AIMS To characterize all the cases of occupational cobalt asthma encountered in a cobalt plant at the time of diagnosis and 6 months later. We also evaluated the incidence of cobalt asthma in different departments on the basi...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimum Valve Opening and Height in the Automotive Engine
The effects of the valve opening and opening height are very crucial in internal combustion engine. The optimum setup for the opening cam high and timing of camshafts in engines will improve fuel economy and exhaust gas emission. This improvement can be obtained from intake (inlet) valve timing and also from exhaust (outlet) valve timing. The challenging technique is to set up the engine to the...
