3.1 Introduction
In 1876 four stroke engine based on Otto cycle was developed by a German engineer
Nikolous Otto, Which revolutionized the development of internal combustion engines and
are even used till date. Diesel engine was developed by another German engineer Rudolf
Diesel in the year 1892.
Engine refers to a device which transforms one form of energy into the other form. Heat
engine is a modified form of engine used for transforming chemical energy of fuel into
thermal energy and subsequently for producing work."
Heat engines may be classified based on where the combustion of fuel takes place. i.e.
whether outside the working cylinder or inside the working cylinder.

7.1 Introduction
Refrigeration can be defined as the method of reducing the temperature of a system below
surrounding temperature and maintaining it at the lower temperature by continuously
abstracting the heat from it.
Refrigerator is a device which removes heat from cold body and reject to hot body
(surrounding) and maintains low temperature for useful purpose. In this device, external
work is required to convey heat from cold body to hot body.
Refrigerant is a heat carrying medium which absorbs heat from space (desired to cool) and
rejects heat to outside the refrigerator (in atmosphere).

8.1 Introduction
Coupling and clutches are power transmission elements. It is used for transmitting power
from one shaft to the other shaft.
A coupling is a device used to connect or couple two shafts while clutch is device which
facilitate engage and disengage of driving shaft and driven shaft whenever required even it
may rotate.
The brake is frictional device whose primary function is to control the motion of machine
member. It is used to bring machine member into rest or slow down.
8.2Couplings
Shafts are mostly available up to 7 meter length due to transport difficulty. To get a greater
length, it is necessary to joint two or more pieces of the shaft using coupling.
Purposes of Coupling used are,
1. To connect shafts of motor and generator which are manufactured separately and to
provide for disconnection for repairs.
2. To reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.
3. To allow misalignment of the shaft or to introduce mechanical flexibility.
4. To introduce protection against overloads.
8.2.1 Types of couplings
Couplings are divided into two main groups as follows,
Rigid coupling
It is used to connect two shafts which are perfectly in axial alignment. These couplings do
not allow any relative rotation between the two shafts.
There are basic three types of rigid coupling as follows,
a. Sleeve or muff coupling
b. Clamp or split muff or compression coupling
c. Flange coupling: - (1) Unprotected type (2) protected type
Classification of Clutch
a) Friction Clutch - 1) Single plate clutch 2) Multi plate clutch 3) Cone clutch
4) Centrifugal clutch
b) Positive Contact -1) Jaw clutch
8.4 Brakes
Brake is a device by means of which an artificial frictional resistance is applied to a moving
body in order to retard or stop the motion of a body. Clutches and brakes work on the same
principle of friction but the functional difference between clutch and brake is that the clutch
connects one moving part to another moving part, whereas the brake connects one moving
part to another stationary part.
During braking process, the brake absorbs either kinetic energy or potential energy or both
by an object. In automobiles brake absorbs kinetic energy of moving vehicles. In case of
elevators and hoists brake absorb potential energy released by the objects during braking
period.
The energy absorbed by the brake is converted in the form of heat which is dissipated to the
surrounding air or water which is circulated through the passage in the brake drum.
Classification of brake
a) Block or Shoe brake
1) Single block brake 2 ) Double block brake
b) Band brake
1) Simple band brake 2) Differential band brake
c) Internal expanding shoe brake
d) Disc brake
Sign
Date
In early days, friction discs as shown in figure 10.1 were used for transmitting the power from
one shaft to another shaft. In such a case, the power transmission capacity depends on friction
between surfaces of two discs. Therefore, this method is not suitable for transmitting higher
power as slip occurs between the discs.
Advantages
1. It is a positive drive (no slip) i.e. it transmits exact velocity ratio from one shaft to
another shaft.
2. It can transmit very large power.
3. High transmission efficiency.
4. Requires less space.
5. Reliable.
Spur gear
Use
When the axis of two shafts are parallel to each other. These gears have teeth parallel to the
axis of the shaft.
Helical gear
In helical gears the teeth are at some angle called helix angle with respect to axis of the shaft.
Advantages
1. It runs quieter as compared to spur gears since the contact between teeth is gradual.
2. Transmission of load is gradual which results in low impact stresses and reduction in
noise. Thus they are used for high speed transmission.
It is a special case of spur gear in which one gear is having infinite diameter called "Rack".
Use
To transmit the rotary motion into reciprocating motion or vice-versa.
Application
Lathe machine, drilling machine and measuring instrument.
Bevel gear
Use
When power is required to be transmitted from one shaft to another shaft which are intersecting
to each other then bevel gears are used. Generally, the angle between two shafts is 90.
The bevel gears are of two types,
1. Straight bevel gear
2. Spiral bevel gear
In straight bevel gears the teeth are formed straight on the cones, and they are parallel to the axis
of the gear.
Application
Automobile differential
Spiral Gears (Skew gears or Crossed helical gears)
Use
To transmit power from one shaft to another shaft which are non intersecting and their axes
are normally at right angles to each other.
Application
Lathe machine to get large speed reduction.
