Knowing about the Causes, types of Exhaust of vehicles

As we are aware about the fuels used in our vehicles, its our responsibility to know about it. Like any other machines, IC engines is not 100 percent efficient as a result of incomplete combustion of fuel, smoke formation takes place.


More exhaust is generated when rich mixture of fuel is used which may cause the formation of Soot  (black substance due to incomplete combustion of fuel). 
While travelling you might have observed smoke coming from exhaust of vehicles, but to add on there quite a few types of smoke coming out vehicles.  
  • Blue smoke 
  • White smoke.
  • Black smoke. 
  • Grey smoke   
Blue Smoke: A worn out engine is one of the reason for formation of blue smoke. In Engines there is a component called piston ring. Due to problem in this piston ring. (which prevents excessive consumption of oil) Thus  Blue smoke is formed.

White Smoke: Due to engine coolant leak, condensation happens in the exhaust pipe which gets heated during the start of vehicle and results in formation of white smoke. we cannot call it as smoke it gets quickly evaporated.

Black Smoke: As the vehicle begins to used much, the efficiency reduces and the fuel injector gets worn out in case of  diesel engines  causes more fuel to be wasted  and it is not completely combusted.
Improper maintenance of vehicle black smoke is formed.And if air and fuel is not mixed properly black smoke may form.

Grey smoke: Like how blue smoke is formed due to excessive burning of oil causes grey smoke.If coolant gets mixed with oil this type of smoke may be emitted.

Mainly the type of load,type of fuel and the speed at which engine is travelling has a major role in the exhaust produced from any vehicle.

Hope this bunch of  basic information about the exhaust. so next time you see smoke I hope this blog comes to your mind..

Types Of vehicle Drive Mechanisms

 Drive Mechanisms: A brief explanation Before knowing about the drive mechanism,let us understand what do we mean by a DRIVE.... DRIVE  is the arrangement (or position) of engine and transmission system in various ways. There are four types of Drives:                                       1.Front Engine Rear wheel Drive.                    2 Front Engine Front Wheel Drive.                    3.Rear Engine and Rear wheel Drive                    4.Four Wheel Drive. 1. Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive:                              This is the most common type of arrangement in 4 wheeled Automobile. Here, engine is positioned in front portion and drive is in back wheel which means the back wheel gets the power during transmission via clutch, gearbox and differential using propeller shaft. 2.Front Engine Front Wheel Drive:             This type of transmission consists of an Engine in front Portion and unlike the previous type, it has the power supplied to front wheels. Which means the mov

INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

             HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE           The First Automobile with Otto Cycle (Petrol cycle) was built by Karl Benz from Germany in 1885 and was granted patent  in 1886.. "Development of this great Invension".... Very soon invension of accelerator for speed control and ignition system,clutch,gear shifting mechanism and most importantly radiator cooling system for engine. Later on devoloping the automobile in the year 1888. In 1893  introduction of the first Four Wheeled Automobile which was having a Four stroke engine. Large scale production of automobiles started in 1902. As years went on.. massive scale of automobile production started and revolutionized the industry... Making its importance around the globe. After several modifications and improvements in design of the automobile , the efficiency safety and performance has become the most noticed criteria for automobile enthusiasts.. The Automobile industry made lifestyle advanced and made transportation of people eas

Does Wheel Alignment really matter?

 If you have visited a any vehicle repair shop, you might have observed that the car wheel will be connected to a computerized machine ,where the operators do adjustments and try to correct the wheel position.In short wheel alignment is correcting steering geometry.On a technical note it is maintaining the castor angle,camber angle,King pin inclination and Toe-in and Toe-out distances.  While manufacturing any vehicle, the manufacturer will have certain angles in which the wheels are connected to the axle. For proper driving of the vehicle those angles has to be maintained. to maintain those angles wheel alignment is done.You may think once the manufacturer has fixed the angle,why will it change. But in reality, due to vehicle  movement in irregular roads the alignment  changes. If  it is left unnoticed, it may lead to wear and tear of tyre and vehicle may not have straight line stability and may start sliding to one side.The main reason of wheel alignment is to avoid these complicatio
