    Tutorial 1 Reciprocating Engine Design and Construction

    1. What is the principal fluid used for propulsion by most heat engines?

    2. Define Thrust.

    3. What is Thp? (Name and define or describe it.)

    4. How much thrust is being used by an aircraft that using 100 THP to go 100 MPH?

    5. Trace the energy that is used to open the intake or exhaust valves from its source (the fuel

    burning above the piston), naming each engine part in proper sequence that transfers energy (force) to open the valve.

    6. What are the advantages of a hydraulic lifter?

    7. Name all the parts in a typical cylinder assembly; describe the function of each and what material it is made of.

    8. What is the purpose of the process called nitriding?

    9. What is the main function of a piston?

    10. Describe the purpose and operation of a dynamic damper.
