Chapter 30, Problem 1RQ
What is meant by the term crossflow head?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Define crossflow head.
Explanation of Solution
Crossflow head:
The placement of valve in the cylinder head plays an important role in determining the breathing efficiency. When the intake and exhaust valves are placed opposite to each other in a combustion chamber, an easy way is created from the intake port to exhaust port through the combustion chamber and is referred to as crossflow head design.
In crossflow head design, the flow enters and leaves the combustion chamber in opposite directions in the cylinder head.

Hello, i have an example question with an answer already given. Please help me in finding its solution so i can review and see the process and understand the concept. Thank you very much1.Question: Water at 15°C is pumped from a reservior at a rate of 0.1131 m3/s where the local atmospheric pressure is 94.6 kPa. The total head loss in the suction pipe is 1 m. From the manufacturer data, the NPSHrequired at this operating point is 7.8. Determine the maximum height hs (meters) before cavitation can occur. Round off your answer to 3 decimal places.Answer: 0.669
