Optimization of Crankshaft Offset to Design Crank Slider Mechanism with Improved Power Transmission Efficiency
Abstract: Increasing consumption and depleting reserve of the petroleum fuel calls for further improvement in the efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines. Ensuring maximum piston effort and its efficient transmission to the crankshaft are the two major factors governing the efficiency of an IC engine. A major challenge in designing an IC engine is the poor transmission efficiency of crank slider mechanism at the time of peak pressure. An analysis made …
