Determine the net load on the gudgeon pin/Mechanical Engineering
A vertical single cylinder gas engine has a bore of 8 cm and a stroke of 10 cm. The connecting rod length is 20 cm and the reciprocating parts weigh 1.5 kg.
The gas pressure on the piston is 6 kg/cm2 when it has moved 1.5 cm from the inner dead centre on its power stroke.
Determine the net load on the gudgeon pin when the engine runs at 2000 rpm . At what speed this load will be zero?
