WHAT ARE THE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEARING? - Answers Roller, ball, and plain
Simpliest type of bearing - Answers Plain
For one surface to roll over the other - Answers rolling friction
are the basic principles of engine operation. - Answers The relationships between pressure, volume,
and temperature of gases
Roller bearings are made in many types and shapes, but the two types generally used in the aircraft
engine are: - Answers Straight roller and tapered roller bearings
is any surface which supports, or is supported by, another surface. - Answers BEARING
By the sliding movement of one metal against the other - Answers sliding friction
Since this type of bearing can accept both radial and thrust loads, it is used in gas turbine engines to
support one end of a shaft (radial loads) and to keep the shaft from moving axially (thrust loads). -
Answers Ball
bearings are generally used for the crankshaft, cam ring, camshaft, connecting rods, and the accessory
drive shaft bearings. - Answers Plain
TWO WAYS IN WHICH BEARING SURFACES MOVE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER - Answers Sliding
friction and rolling friction
The parts must be held in position within very close tolerances to provide efficient and quiet
operation and yet allow freedom of motion. - Answers bearing
Radial loads only - Answers Straight roller
They are used for shaft bearings and rocker arm bearings in some reciprocating engines. - Answers
Ball
bearings are usually made of nonferrous (having no iron) metals, such as silver, bronze, aluminum,
and various alloys of copper, tin, or lead. - Answers Plain
are widely used in this instance. They are impregnated with oil so that the heat of friction brings the
oil to the bearing surface during engine operation. - Answers Porous Oilite bushings
are required to take radial loads, thrust loads, or a combination of the two. - Answers bearing
is a device for converting heat energy into mechanical energy. - Answers internal combustion engine
Withstand both radial and thrust loads - Answers Tapered roller
Smaller bearings, such as those used to support various shafts in the accessory section, are called -
Answers Bushings
Bearings are required to take (blank) or a combination of the two - Answers radial loads, thrust loads,
2 OPERATING CYCLE? - Answers Four stroke cycle and two stroke cycle
four-stroke cycle, sometimes called the - Answers Otto cycle
The operating cycle of an internal combustion - Answers reciprocating engine includes the series of
events required to induct, compress, ignite, and burn, causing expansion of the air-fuel charge in the
cylinder and to scavenge or exhaust the byproducts of the combustion process.
The vast majority of certified aircraft reciprocating engines operate on the - Answers Four stoke cycle
includes the series of events required to induct, compress, ignite, and burn, causing expansion of the
air-fuel charge in the cylinder and to scavenge or exhaust the byproducts of the combustion process. -
Answers The operating cycle of an internal combustion
Two complete revolutions of the crankshaft (BLANK) are required for the four strokes; thus, each
cylinder in an engine of this type fires once in every two revolutions of the crankshaft. - Answers 720°
During the ( ), the piston is pulled downward in the cylinder by the rotation of the crankshaft. -
Answers INTAKE STROKE
Otto cycle after its originator, a German physicist - Answers Nikolaus August Otto
The air-fuel mixture passes through the intake pipes and intake valves into the cylinders. - Answers
INTAKE STROKE
of the crankshaft (720°) are required for the four strokes; thus, each cylinder in an engine of this type
fires once in every two revolutions of the crankshaft. - Answers Two complete revolutions
The speed of the exhaust gases leaving the cylinder creates a low pressure in the cylinder. - Answers
EXHAUST STROKE
Thus, the engine completes the operating cycle in one revolution of the crankshaft. - Answers TWO
STROKE CYCLE
As the piston travels through BDC at the completion of the power stroke and starts upward on the ( ),
it begins to push the burned exhaust gases out the exhaust port. - Answers EXHAUST STROKE
