History of Automobile

Hello friend's, so in this post we will talk about the history of Automobile.


In 1769, Captain Nicolas Cagnot, a French engineer, built the first road vehicle powered by his power.

It was a three-wheeler, four-seater vehicle fitted with a steam engine.  It achieved a speed of about 2 m.p.h.  For 15 minutes.

In 1880, German and French efforts developed an internal combustion engine vehicle, which was used to carry fruits.  The current vehicle is a development of this vehicle.

In 1885, Benz in Germany built a tricycle powered by an internal combustion engine.

In 1885 - 1886, Gottlieb Daimler patented an internal combustion engine in Germany and a year later it was running in a vehicle,

In 1895, Charles E. in America.  Duria and Ellwood J.  Hans developed experimental automobiles.  In this year, Panhard and Levassor in France also developed a car which, with minor exceptions, incorporated the main features of the automobile as we know it today.

In 1890 - 1895, European designers were also active in the development of automobiles.

In 1895, the early Panard in France had the engine placed in front of the chassis, leading to a sliding gear transmission;  And brake paddles, clutch and accelerator included.

In 1900, the design of the automobile improved so much that it awakened the public to the fact that this new form of transport was actually practical for use.

In 1906, the production and sale of these vehicles became a business.

Prior to 1906, many of the world's greatest manufacturing industries in the United States began to manufacture automobiles.  Packard, Autocar, Oldsmobile, White, Bik, Overland, Ford, Cadillac — these names were on motor vehicles before 1905.  Pierce-Arrow, Locomobile, Maxwell, Franklin and Peerless were also important automotive in their time in technological and commercial development.

In 1908, Ford debuted its model with an initial run of 20,000 vehicles, which was unheard of at the time.  This was the time when the designer's main objective was to drive his vehicle into mass production at the lowest possible price.

In 1920, automobile design underwent gradual changes and refinements.  By that time it was clear that the spark ignition gasoline engine was to be the power plant of modern automotive.  Water-cooled engines were almost universal.  The sliding gear transmission had established itself as the dominant one.  Poppet valves were used in almost every engine design.  The engines were all located in front of the chassis.

In this period, major improvements were made to every car facility.  The designers tried to produce a vehicle, which would work at all times in all circumstances;  And which will be easy to ride and easy to operate.  Tire lifetime, independent front wheel suspension, four wheel hydraulic brakes, high compression ratio, high strength, use of new materials, hundreds of other changes have been made.

Conditions gradually changed.  The reliability of the chassis and engine became common expectancy.  Car owners needed more ride comfort and ease of operation.

In recent years, the passenger car chassis and construction have been forced to shape to pre-designed bodies, while the area of ​​truck design body chassis problems is now considered together to a greater extent than ever before.  .  Fluid flywheel, free-wheeling, over-riding, automatic transmission and many other new features are in today's car.  The diesel engine was invented only a few years after the spark-ignition engine.  Cars would have engines behind them before they exposed them.

The design development of recent years has given owners of cars that are safer, easier to drive, more reliable and comfortable.  Yesterday's car owner had to know something about their vehicle repair
The driver who was once happy to drive his car now wants to repair it.  The old driver had the pleasure of an open body instead of a box to sit on.  But today the driver likes a closed body which protects him from accidents, storms, rain and sun.  Modern trends have now created opportunities for a professional repairman to own a car.  It is interesting to have knowledge of working of automobile vehicle in social life.

It is the entire history of automobile vehicle development that emphasizes the knowledge of basic principles as an integration link between past, present and future.

VALVE TIMING DIAGRAM OF A FOUR-STROKE, OTTO CYCLE ENGINE

Hello friend's in this post we will talk about valve timing diagram of a four stroke, otto cycle engine It has already been explained in the operation of four stroke, Otto cycle engine that the inlet valve opens during the suction stroke and the exhaust valve opens during the exhaust stroke. The exact moment at winch each of the valves opens and closes with reference to the position of piston and crank can be shown graphically in a diagram. This diagram is known as valve timing diagram. Theoretically, the inlet valve opens exactly at the beginning of suction stroke and closes at the end of the stroke. Both the valves remain closed during compression and power strokes. The exhaust valve opens exactly at the beginning of exhaust stroke and closes at the end of stroke. The theoretical valve timing diagram for a four-stroke Otto cycle engine is shown in Fig. 3.3. The opening and closing of valves with reference to the position of piston and crank shaft during the four strok

FOUR - STROKE , OTTO CYCLE , SPARK IGNITION ENGINE

Hello friend's so in this post we will talk about four strock engines. The modern petrol ( gasoline ) engines operate on Otto ( constant volume ) cycle . This cycle was introduced in practical form by a German scientist Otto in 1876 , although it was described by a French scientist Beande Roches in 1862. In a four - stroke Otto cycle , spark ignition engine , the four strokes are as follows : 1. Suction stroke  During suction stroke , the piston is moved downward by the crankshaft , which is revolved either by the momentum of the flywheel or by the power generated by the electric starting motor . The inlet valve remains open and the exhaust valve is closed during this stroke . The downward movement of the piston sucks air - fuel mixture in the cylinder from the carburettor through the open inlet valve . Here the fuel is petrol mixed with air , broken up into a mist and partially vaporized in the carburettor .  2. Compression stroke   During compression stroke , the p

PRESSURE-VOLUME DIAGRAM OF FOUR-STROKE, OTTO CYCLE ENGINE

Hello friend's in this post we will talk about pressure - volume diagram of four - stroke, otto cycle engine Fig. 3.8 shows theoretical p-v diagram of a four-stroke Otto cycle engine. During the suction stroke, the charge is admitted in the cylinder increasing the volume from 1 to 2, at the atmospheric pressure. Cylinder volume is the sum of clearance volume and stroke volume. During the compression stroke, the charge is compressed from 2 to 3. Volume decreases to clearance volume and pressure rises. The compressed charge is ignited at constant volume, which increases the pressure as represented by 3- 4 line. During the working stroke the volume increases and pressure decreases as represented by 4-5line. At 5, the exhaust valve opens and exhaust takes place at constant decreases the pressure suddenly as represented by 5-2 line. Finally the piston moves onward rushing out the exhaust gases at atmospheric pressure as represented by 2-1 line. The volume again decreases to clearance vo
