Maximum Lift of Valve given Diameter of Port and Valve Seat Angle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lift of Valve = Diameter of Port/(4*cos(Valve Seat Angle))
h_max = d_p/(4*cos(α))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

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.
Diameter of Port - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Port is the diameter of the opening of the port of an IC Engine.
Valve Seat Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Valve Seat Angle is the angle of the seat of a valve from the direction perpendicular to the valve length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Port: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
Valve Seat Angle: 24.61 Degree --> 0.429525528915724 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_max = d_p/(4*cos(α)) --> 0.04/(4*cos(0.429525528915724))

Evaluating ... ...

h_max = 0.0109991224400306

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0109991224400306 Meter -->10.9991224400306 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.9991224400306 ≈ 10.99912 Millimeter <-- Lift of Valve

(Calculation completed in 00.013 seconds)

Construction of Poppet valve of an IC Engine

The poppet valve consists of a disk called ‘head’ at the end of a rod called ‘stem’. The ‘face’ of the valve is a conical surface that comes in contact with a valve seat It has a face angle varying from 30° to 45°. The conical surface of the valve results in the self-centering property. There is a small margin between the head and the face. There are two reasons for providing the margin—it avoids the sharp edges and a provision is made for regrinding of the valve. The lower end of the valve stem has a groove. A spring retainer is fitted in this groove, which supports one end of the valve spring. In slow-speed engines, valves have composite construction with a cast iron head and steel stem. In high-speed engines, one-piece construction is used and valves are forged.
