Lift of Engine Valve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lift of Valve = Force to Lift Engine Valve/Stiffness of Valve Spring
h_max = P₂/k
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lift of Valve - (Measured in Meter) - Lift of Valve is the height to which the valve is lifted during operation for the flow of gases.
Force to Lift Engine Valve - (Measured in Newton) - Force to Lift Engine Valve is the amount of force (a push or pull upon the valve) that is required to lift the valve.
Stiffness of Valve Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of Valve Spring is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic valve spring to deformation, every object in this universe has some stiffness.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force to Lift Engine Valve: 102.3 Newton --> 102.3 Newton No Conversion Required
Stiffness of Valve Spring: 9.3 Newton per Millimeter --> 9300 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_max = P₂/k --> 102.3/9300

Evaluating ... ...

h_max = 0.011

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.011 Meter -->11 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

11 Millimeter <-- Lift of Valve

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Lift of Valve = Force to Lift Engine Valve/Stiffness of Valve Spring
h_max = P₂/k

Working of Valve Spring

The purpose of the valve spring is to exert a force on the rocker arm in order to maintain contact between the follower and cam at the other end. During the suction stroke, the initial spring force keeps the valve closed against negative pressure inside the cylinder. The total force acting on the spring of the exhaust valve consists of two factors, the initial spring force and force required to lift the valve.
