I C engine is the most important in power generation. I C engine is the assembly of many components like piston, connecting
rod, crank shaft, cylinder block, cylinder head, etc., coming to the automobile the power produced by the I C engine is
utilized by the automobile and also by the engine its self i.e. automobile consists of engine and other parts, all are fitted to
the chassis. All the weight of the automobile i.e. engine and other parts will be on the engine.
So the mileage of the automobile also depends on the weight of the automobile. And the major weight is engine. As the
engine is the assembly of many components, we will take the particular component and optimization of weight is done i.e.
with respective to its function. I C engine components like piston, connecting rod crank shaft are made of steel because of its
good strength.
Replacing the steel components with aluminium components will reduce the weight but the strength is not enough so we are
taking the aluminium alloy such that the aluminium alloy exhibits the strength like the steel because of its alloying material
and own property of less weight.
There fore if as many as components are replaced then automatically overall weight is reduced there fore the power required
to run itself by automobile is reduced resulting in the increase in the mileage.
In this project we are taking the aluminium alloy 1060 alloy and cast alloy steel. The components are designed by using proE
and analysis is done by cosmos.
