Preface
The primary focus of any engineering laboratory/ field work in the technical
education system is to develop the much needed industry relevant competencies and skills.
With this in view, MSBTE embarked on this innovative ‘I’ Scheme curricula for engineering
diploma programmes with outcome-base education as the focus and accordingly, relatively
large amount of time is allotted for the practical work. This displays the great importance of
laboratory work making each teacher; instructor and student to realize that every minute of
the laboratory time need to be effectively utilized to develop these outcomes, rather than
doing other mundane activities. Therefore, for the successful implementation of this
outcome-based curriculum, every practical has been designed to serve as a ‘vehicle’ to
develop this industry identified competency in every student. The practical skills are difficult
to develop through ‘chalk and duster’ activity in the classroom situation. Accordingly, the ‘I’
scheme laboratory manual development team designed the practical to focus on the
outcomes, rather than the traditional age old practice of conducting practical to ‘verify the
theory’ (which may become a byproduct along the way).
This laboratory manual is designed to help all stakeholders, especially the students,
teachers and instructors to develop in the student the pre-determined outcomes. It is expected
from each student that at least a day in advance, they have to thoroughly read through the
concerned practical procedure that they will do the next day and understand the minimum
theoretical background associated with the practical. Every practical in this manual begins by
identifying the competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes and practical outcomes
which serve as a key focal point for doing the practical. The students will then become aware
about the skills they will achieve through procedure shown there and necessary precautions to
be taken, which will help them to apply in solving real-world problems in their professional
life.
This manual also provides guidelines to teachers and instructors to effectively
facilitate student-centered lab activities through each practical exercise by arranging and
managing necessary resources in order that the students follow the procedures and
precautions systematically ensuring the achievement of outcomes in the students.
Power producing and absorbing devices are essentials for mechanical engineering. It
is necessary for mechanical engineering technologists to analyze working and plot the
performance of devices like internal combustion engines, air compressors, gas turbines so
that he will be able to operate them effectively in an industrial situation. This knowledge is
also useful in selecting suitable prime mover for given application and to maintain and test
the same. This course also gives basic exposure of refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment which play a vital role in maintaining controlled atmosphere in different domestic
and industrial applications. A separate elective course on Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
is also available in sixth semester for in-depth knowledge of the course.
Although all care has been taken to check for mistakes in this laboratory manual, yet
it is impossible to claim perfection especially as this is the first edition. Any such errors and
suggestions for improvement can be brought to our notice and are highly welcome.

Practical No.1and 2: Assemble/Dismantle single cylinder IC Engine.


(Part-I and II)

I Practical Significance
Internal combustion engine is a device in which combustion occurs inside the engine
cylinder. I.C. engine works in four strokes –suction, compression, expansion and
exhaust. If four stokes takes place in one cylinder then it is called as Single cylinder
I.C. engine. Dismantling is the process of removing all the engine parts to know
various sub-assemblies of engine, identify the parts and their location in the sub-
assemblies and inspect parts to know their physical and functional condition.
Dismantling of I.C. Engine is a feature of preventive as well as breakdown
maintenance. After dismantling or repair, all the parts are put back together. This is
called engine assembly (reassembly). Engine assembly mainly consists of three major
sub-assemblies’ like cylinder and related parts, piston and related parts and valve
mechanism components.

Practical No.3 and 4: Assemble and Dismantle Multi-Cylinder IC Engine.


(Part-I and II)

I Practical Significance
A multi-cylinder engine is a reciprocating internal combustion engine with
multiple cylinders. It can be either a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine and can be
either Diesel or petrol engine. Multi-cylinder engines offer a number of advantages
over single cylinder engines, chiefly with their ability to neutralize imbalances by
having corresponding mechanisms moving in opposing directions during the
operation of the engine. Dismantling and reassembly of Multi-cylinder is similar to
that of Single cylinder I.C. Engine.

Practical No.5 : Assemble and Dismantle Inline/Rotary Fuel


Injection Pump In A Diesel Engine.

I Practical Significance
Fuel injection pump is required to deliver accurately metered quantity of fuel under
high pressure at the correct instant to the injector. Inline fuel pump- The eccentric
on the camshaft causes constant linear movement of the pushers - the plungers, by the
action of the pushers, push the fuel in the direction of the retention valve - the
pressure is high enough to open the retention valve and the fuel is conducted by pipes
to the injectors - the amount of fuel is controlled by the gear rack -The gear rack
causes rotation movement to the plunger that is function of the accelerator pedal
Rotary fuel pump -Send fuel to plungers - Time duration in close position of electro-
valve determines the injection flow Send fuel to injectors - The plungers are pressed
by cam -Fuel high pressure generated - Distributor rotates to injector flow position.

(b) Temperature of water inlet to calorimeter (tc1°C)
(c) Temperature of water outlet from the calorimeter (tc2°C)
(d) Temperature of exhaust gas entering the calorimeter (tg1°C)
(e) Temperature of exhaust gas leaving the calorimeter (tg2°C)
17. All the readings taken in step nos. 10 to 16 are for zero load, Note these
readings in the Observation table in the column of zero load.
18. Calculate full brake load capacity of the engine.
19. Apply certain load (say 1/4th of full load) on the dynamometer. In case of
constant speed governor, engine will attain the test speed. In case of variable
speed governor, adjust the fuel supply to bring the engine to test speed at
which test is to be conducted. Note this load in the observation table and take
all readings as in step nos. 10 to 16. Note these readings in the observation
table in the column for this load. .

H c w = ……………….. kJ/min .

Power Engineering and Refrigeration (22562)

iii. Heat carried away by exhaust gases (Hg)By two methods,

a) By using Air box,

First determine the mass of exhaust gas as follows

ma = p a xQ = ……………………………. equation (i)

Density of air is calculated from general gas equation as follows:

We know, PV = RT

Where, P = Atmospheric Pressure = 1.01325 bar

= 1.01325 x 10s N/m2

R = Characteristic constant for air - 0.287 kJ/kg K .

T = Absolute temperature of air = (tr + 273)°K

P x (1 /ƿa)=RT

ƿa=P / RT

ƿa = ………….Kg/m3

Now quantity of air supplied is calculated as

Q = Cd x a0 x √2gha m3/s
2
a0= area of orifice =π / 4 x (d0 )

2
= π / 4 x ( ……………)

= ………………… m2

Here, ha = air head in meter = (p w h w /p a )

= [(1000 x……………….)/(.....................)]m of air

= ………………………… m of air.

Q = . ………. x...........,.x √ 2x9.81 x.................... .m3/s

Q =……………………. m3/sec

Maharashtra state Board of Technical Education 34


Power Engineering and Refrigeration (22562)

Thus, mass of air supplied in kg/s from equation (i) is

ma=Pa x Q =

= …………………. Kg/sec

mass of air supplied in kg/min

ma = mass of air supplied in kg/sec X 60

= ………………….. kg/min

Thus, mass of exhaust gases in kg/min

= mass of air consumed in kg/min + mass of fuel consumed in kg/min

mg = ma + mf

mg=……+ …….. .

mg = ……………. kg/min

Hence

Heat carried .away by exhaust gases = mg x Cpg x (tf - tr)

Hg = ……………………….. kJ/min

b) By using Exhaust gas Calorimeter

Exhaust Gas Inlet

Water outlet

Water Inlet

Writing the heat balance for calorimeter as -

Heat rejected by exhaust gases in the calorimeter = heat gained by the water in the

calorimeter

Now, Total heat carried away by exhaust gases =

Maharashtra state Board of Technical Education 35


Power Engineering and Refrigeration (22562)

Hg = mg x Cpgx (tg1 – tg2) =[mc x Cpw x (tc2 - tc1) ]

mg x Cpg= [mc x Cpw x (tc2 - tc1) ] / (tg1 – tg2)

Now, total heat carried away by exhaust gases = Hg = mg x Cpgx (tg - tr)

= { [mc x Cpw x (tc2 - tc1) ] / (tg1– tg2) } x (tg - tr)

Hg = …………………………. kJ / min

iv) Heat unaccounted (Heat Lost due to radiation, pumping losses, errors of
observation etc.) by difference

Hu= (Heat supplied by combustion of fuel) - [(Heat equivalent of BP) +

(Heat lost to jacket cooling water) + (Heat lost to exhaust gases)]

I Practical Significance
Improved transportation and an improved economy made the automobile one of the
most important invention in past few decades. But besides that one more challenge
for our developed sector is facing that is generation of emissions, which is bi–product
of fuels. Emission from automobiles produce adverse effect on human being as well
as on our environment, so to check and regulate the emission from automobiles a
device like Exhaust gas analyzer/ Pollution Under Control (PUC) testing was
introduced. With the help of these equipment’s, automobile sector has certified their
vehicles for emission and health check-up which is valid for 6 months, this checking
is mandatory for all vehicles by Government of India. These regulation norms are
known as Bharat stage which is followed by Euro norms.

Practical No.11 and 12: Perform Test On The Given Two-Stage


Reciprocating Air Compressor To Find
Volumetric And Isothermal Efficiency

I Practical Significance
The air compressor is a machine which uses a drive motor to power the device, which
sucks in successive volumes of air from the atmosphere, compresses (squeezes) each
volume of air in the limited space to increase the pressure, resulting in a smaller
amount, and then transfers the air high pressure in the receiver tank. This high
pressure air is removed from the receiving tank for the electrical equipment. When
certain amount of constant discharge of air is displaced, then it is called as a positive
displacement air compressor
Performance of reciprocating compressor is improved by multi-staging. Here
number of staging represents number of cylinder. Two stage reciprocating air
compressor consist of two cylinders. One is called low-pressure cylinder and another
is called high-pressure cylinder. When piston in a low-pressure cylinder is at its outer
dead center (ODC) the weight of air inside a cylinder is zero (neglecting clearance
volume), as piston moves towards inner dead center (IDC) pressure falls below
atmospheric pressure & suction valves open due to a pressure difference.
Air compressors have many uses, including: supplying high-pressure clean air to
fill gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface
supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and
school building pneumatic HVAC control system valves, supplying a large amount of
moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools, such as jackhammers, filling high
pressure air tanks (HPA), for filling tires, and to produce large volumes of moderate-
pressure air for large-scale industrial processes (such as oxidation for petroleum
coking or cement plant bag house purge systems)

Practical No.15 : Trace The Refrigerant Flow Of Domestic Refrigerator


And Measure Temperatures At Critical Points For
Different Settings Of Thermostat.

I Practical Significance
Domestic (also household refrigerator), an appliance that is used for the short-term
preservation of food products in the home by means of refrigeration. A domestic
refrigerator is a metal cabinet with a built-in hermetically sealed refrigerating unit
When the hot gas in the coils of the condenser meets the cooler air temperature of
the kitchen, it becomes a liquid. Now in liquid form at high pressure, the
refrigerant cools down as it flows through the expansion valve into the evaporator
coils inside the freezer and the fridge. This process of conversion is in cyclic form
known as Vapour Compression Cycle (VCC). Modern refrigerators usually use a
refrigerant called HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetra- fluoro- ethane), which does not deplete
the ozone layer, instead of Freon. The fundamental reason for having
a refrigerator is to keep food cold. Cold temperatures help food stay fresh longer.
The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacteria (which
all food contains) so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil the food.
A refrigerator does not cool items by lowering their original temperatures; instead,
an evaporating gas called a refrigerant draws heat away, leaving the surrounding
area much colder. Refrigerators and air conditioners both work on the principle of
cooling through evaporation. Thermostat is a component which senses
the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's
temperature is maintained near a desired set point. A thermostat operates as a
"closed loop" control device, as it seeks to reduce the error between the desired and
measured temperatures. Sometimes a thermostat combines both the sensing and
control action elements of a controlled system, such as in an automotive
thermostat.
