Diameter of Valve Stem Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Valve Stem = 1.5*Diameter of Port*(1-(Tensile Stress in Valve Stem*Thickness of Valve Disk^2)/(1.4*Spring Force on Seated Valve))
d_s = 1.5*d_p*(1-(σ_t*t^2)/(1.4*P_s))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter of Valve Stem - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Valve Stem is the diameter of the lowermost part of the valve (valve stem).
Diameter of Port - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Port is the diameter of the opening of the port of an IC Engine.
Tensile Stress in Valve Stem - (Measured in Pascal) - Tensile Stress in Valve Stem is the amount of tensile stress induced into the valve stem due to the tensile spring force acting on it.
Thickness of Valve Disk - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Valve Disk is the thickness of the circular valve disk of a valve and is the part of valve head.
Spring Force on Seated Valve - (Measured in Newton) - Spring Force on Seated Valve is the force exerted by the valve spring onto the valve when it is seated.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Port: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
Tensile Stress in Valve Stem: 2.2 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 2200000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Valve Disk: 5.5 Millimeter --> 0.0055 Meter (Check conversion here)
Spring Force on Seated Valve: 63 Newton --> 63 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_s = 1.5*d_p*(1-(σ_t*t^2)/(1.4*P_s)) --> 1.5*0.04*(1-(2200000*0.0055^2)/(1.4*63))

Evaluating ... ...

d_s = 0.0147278911564626

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0147278911564626 Meter -->14.7278911564626 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.7278911564626 ≈ 14.72789 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Valve Stem

Valve gear mechanism for a vertical engine with overhead valves

The camshaft is rotated by means of a belt drive from the crankshaft. As the camshaft rotates, the cam pushes the follower and the push rod upwards. The rocker arm is pivoted at its center by means of a fulcrum pin. When the right end of the rocker arm is pushed up by the push rod, the left end moves downward. This compresses the spring and pushes the valve rod down in the cylinder, thereby causing the valve to open. When the follower moves over the circular portion of the cam, the spring expands and closes the valve. The spring pushes the left end of the rocker arm upward. This causes the right end to move downward and keeps the follower in contact with the cam. It should be noted that the valve is closed by a helical compression spring.
