Power And Torque Curves

In 2002 a joint project between International Navistar and the Ford Motor Company was born. “The goal of this project was to create an engine that was fuel efficient, emission compliant and would be able to outperform all of the competition” (Banks Power). With over 2 million ford super duty’s equipped with the 7.3l Powerstroke engine on the road, the new engine would have big shoes to fill. The engine that was to replace the outdated, underpowered and overall inadequate 7.3l Powerstroke was the International Navistar 6.0l turbo diesel.

After many years of trial and error, a combination of inventors and engineers developed a practical, effective internal combustion engine that greatly affected the world. This paper will give opposing views on the background and analyze the effects it had on transportation and the environment.

The continuing rotation of the crankshaft drives the piston back up, ready for the next cycle. The piston moves in a reciprocating motion, which is converted into circular motion of the crankshaft, which ultimately propels the car. Gas engines usually have about the same about of horsepower as they do torque. The diesel engine usually has twice as much torque as it does horsepower, thus it is the better hill climber and load carrier.

Although cheaper to manufacture, piston type airplane engines require more maintenance than that of their jet engine counterparts. In fact, a jet engine can go for “3,000 hours while an overhaul for a piston aircraft is generally 2,000 hours”, Piston Engine (2011). This source goes on to compare the average top speed of a piston engine driven aircraft which is usually around 200 KIAS. This is relatively slow when compared to the average jet engine that can reach 300 KIAS.

DIN 70020 are specific and very strict. Unlike the SAE gross standards used in the U.S. and Great Britain for many years, the DIN standard requires power to be measured with standard intake, exhaust, and accessory systems in place. DIN horsepower ratings, therefore, are comparable to the modern SAE net rating system, although they are usually reported in metric horsepower (sometimes referred to as Pferdestärke, the German word for horsepower, and abbreviated PS), rather than mechanical horsepower. One mechanical horsepower is about 745.7 watts, whereas one metric horsepower is about 735.5 watts; therefore, 1 PS equals 0.986 horsepower. Because of that and because DIN horsepower ratings are calculated with the engine in “as-installed” condition,

The chevy 350 came out in 1955 it had overhead valves and it became an instant hit for many hotroders and muscle car enthusiasts because it had large amounts of torque and horse power in such a small engine package (“Birth” 1). The Chevy 350 in 1955 stole the overhead valve configuration with its older cousin the 1949 Oldsmobile rocket 303ci (Tom Shaw 1). The Olds rocket was the first american high compression engine. (“innovation 1). The Olds Rocket 88 was als one of the first “hot” engines frome the factories in Detroit (“Beginning” 1). In 1960 chevy one upped its small block with the giant big block the big block came in a 396 409 and 454 cubic inch models. The Chevy 409 Big Block was so popular it even was mentioned in a Beach Boys song ( “Early” 3). The 1960 chevy big block was a big hit on and off the track and it offered lots of low end torque with tons of horse power (“Early”1). In 1964 Chrysler reintroduced the hemi and that same year it dominated the drag racing scene. With well over 550 HP it was a super strong contender (“Goldenage” 4). Just as Chrysler was dominating the drag strip, Cadillac was dominating the NASCAR and stock car circuit with its newly introduced v8

The world we live in is surrounded by diesel engines. They are on the freeways, railways, airways, and are one of the leading electricity producers in the world. They are also becoming more popular in automobiles. These engines are efficient and reliable and they are getting very sophisticated. However, the physics behind these engines has not changed.

These types of engines can be found not only in cars and trucks, but in boats, lawn mowers and generators to name a few.

New ways of oil lubricating were added along with water-cooling. The sizes of turbochargers now range from the diameter of a baseball to larger than a basketball.

That covers the basic function of an engine fron intake to exhaust. Next we will explore the relationship of Horsepower vs Torque.

Justin has led an activity, with support of our summer intern, to determine the variation of single-cylinder fuel flow measurement uncertainty. This was published as a GDM IP report document and is insightful in showing intra-cell variation in the speed load domain, with variations increasing at lighter loads. This data was valuable enough to include in Justin’s SMC final report as error bars on NSFC status.

Whereas ordinary diesel direct fuel-injection systems have to build up pressure anew for each and every injection cycle, the new common rail (line) engines maintain constant pressure regardless of the injection sequence. This pressure then remains permanently available throughout the fuel line. The engine's electronic timing regulates injection pressure according to engine speed and load. The electronic control unit (ECU) modifies injection pressure precisely and as needed,
