R.M.K COLLEGE OF ENGG AND TECH / AQ / R2013/ ME6503 / V / MECH / JUNE 2016 – NOV 2016 ME6503 – DESIGN OF MACHINE ELEMENTS QUESTION BANK by ASHOK KUMAR.R (AP / Mech) 86 Possible over speed = 3000 rpm Compression ratio = 6.8:1 Probable maximum explosion pressure (assumed shortly after centre, at about 3˚) = 3.5N/mm2 . Draw fully dimensional drawings on the connecting rod showing the provision for the lubrications. [AU, May / Jun - 2012] 4.171) Design a mild steel connecting rod with an I-section for a single cylinder IC engine from the following data. Diameter of the piston is 0.104 m; weight of reciprocating parts is 18.2 N; length of connecting rod-center to center is 0.314 m; stroke length is 0.14 m; speed of the engine is 1500 rpm; Maximum explosion pressure is 2.28 MPa. Assume that the maximum thrust takes place at TDC during the explosion stroke. Assume also any missing data. [AU, Nov / Dec –2011]
