Piston, how is it done and how does it work? We are going to discover its features and what it is for in the mechanical sector of Audi q5 2015 for sale or any used car. Motor piston is a moving organ , driven by a rectilinear motion, alternative to the connecting rod-crank mechanism of a motor, be it steam, with controlled ignition, diesel or Stirling, on which a fluid acts under pressure. Its real, cold form looks cylindrical, but it is not perfect because the distribution of mass and operating temperatures are not homogeneous. It can therefore be defined as ' truncated-conical ' in section and oval in plan, but it should be considered that its precise shape is defined, for each motor and application, with computer simulations and practical tests, so that it can assume the correct form at normal operating temperature and guarantee maximum efficiency.
Base Stuff
A motor piston can be made of different materials or different solutions. Generally, we opt for the realization in a single material, that is the aluminum (and its different alloys), with silicon concentrations, which allows to decrease the thermal expansion. More recently, it has begun to produce 'bimetallic' piston models or grafts, such as, for example, a lamellar cast-iron ring inserted in the first slot of the elastic band, or bushings where there is a pin. Another solution, the ceramic pistons. In the past, very precisely, steel and cast iron were also used to produce a piston: now, however, these metals are used in a few cases.
Piston Functionality
Nowadays, inside the engine of a vehicle, the piston should perform various functions. A motor piston, for example, transmits the force that is generated after the combustion of the gas to the connecting rods. It, therefore, serves as real support for defining the path that follows the movement of the connecting rods inside the cylinders. A motor piston then supports the normal force applied against the cylinder walls, while the pressure of the latter is transmitted to the connecting rod. Another important function of the engine piston is to hermetically close the combustion chamber of the crankcase together with its sealing elements and, finally, absorb the heat to transfer it thereafter to the engine cooling system.
In Practice
In practice, for those not accustomed to mechanical studies: the engine piston performs a series of fundamental functions within an engine but which, seen from an external eye and 'profane', can be visually described as a monotonous' going up and down , pushed up by the connecting rod and drawn down by the latter after combustion. Please note that The engine of a car is a complex mechanism and is composed of many elements, each of which performs a very precise function and is necessary for the proper functioning of the system. Please heed, Audi q5 2015 price is directly connected to that. Besides, understanding how an engine is made and how the "pieces" that make it work can also be useful to identify the damage caused by time and poor maintenance more quickly.
