2 Groups of engines
1. Piston engines 2. gas turbine engines systems
Piston engines 2 arten
a) Unboosted/ Normal aspirated engine b)boosted
Unboosted/ Normal aspirated piston engine
the ambient air is drawn into the cylinder by the piston
boosted piston engines
a charger delivers compressed ambient air (more air mass) into the cylinder
Turboprop
gas turbine driving a propeller to create the thrust force
Turbofan
gas turbine driving a fan that creates thrust force as the reaction force to the acceleration of the air in the nozzle
Grundprinzip Piston engine
The high pressure inside the cylinder during combustion creates a force on typ of the piston, which is transmitted to the crankshaft, creating torque.
Was kann bei inverted cylinders passierenN z.B. beim Sternenmotor
Es entsteht ein Hydraulicing (oil flood) => Oil flows down into the cylinder head and blocks the movement of the piston. This oil must be drained (Säubern) from the cylinder by removing the spark plug before engine start
Welche Piston engines kommen am häufigsten in Airplanes vor?
Horizontal opposed air-colled engines ==> Boxer => 4-6 cylinder
Sternenmotor
Kurbelwellen in der Mitte => Ungerade Anzahl Zylinder ( bei 2-Reihiger Motor = gerade Zylinderanzahl) => Daraus ergibt sich die Zündreihenfolge
Verschiedene Arten Otto-Motoren
a) Reihenmotor b) V-Motor (Nockenwelle entscheidet, ob schneller oder langsamer Motor) c) Boxermotor (jeder Zylinder hat 2 Kerzen

Torque
F Rod * Arm F Rod= Connecting rod force
V Total im Zylinder
Vc + Vs = Vt Vc = Clearance Volume = Between TDC and the top of cylinder Vs = displacement between TOD and BDC
Compression ratio
\(Compression ratio = {Vs + Vc \over Vc}\)
Stroke
Distanve between TDC and BDC
Long Stroke engine where teh sroke is greater than the piston Bore (Zylinderbohrung) führt zu ?
Kraft mal Arm ist hier grösser => Grösser Tork
Short Stroke Engine where the stroke is less than the piston bore ist der Fall, wo?
