 Abstract

A steam engine uses heat and steam to create mechanical power. A steam engine a heat engine that
performs mechanical work using steam as itsworkingfluid. Heat is obtained from fuel burnt in a closed
firebox. The heat is transferred to the water in a pressurized boiler, ultimately boiling the water and
transforming it into saturated steam. Steam in its saturated state is always produced at the temperature
of the boiling water, which intern depends on the steam pressure on the water surface within the boiler.
The steam is transferred to the motor unit which uses it to push on pistons to power machinery. The
used, cooler, lower pressure steam is exhausted to atmosphere. The project simulates the working of a
steam engine. It illustrates how the linear motion of the piston is converted into rotary motion. The
engine is initially at rest. On right clicking, the users provided with Manwich provides five options-
shaded, animate, increase speed, decrease speed, transparent. The animate option starts the steam
engine from rest or stops the engine if it is running. The speed of the engine can then be increased by
the increase speed option or decreased by the decrease speed option. The texture of the engine can be
changed by the shaded option. There are two textures. One being the normal solid fill and the other
being wireframe. The transparent option makes the front portion of the cylinder transparent and shows
the up and down motion of the piston.

1.INTRODUCTION

Steam engines are external combustion engines, where the working fluid is separate from the
combustion products. It performs mechanical work by using steam as its working fluid. In 1781 James
Watt patented a steam engine that produced continuous rotative motion. Watt's ten-
horsepower engines enabled a wide range of manufacturing machinery to be powered. The engines
could be sited anywhere that water and coal or wood fuel could be obtained. By 1883, engines that
could provide 10,000 hp had become feasible. Steam engines could also be applied to vehicles such
as traction engines and the railway locomotives. The stationary steam engine was a key component of
the Industrial Revolution, allowing factories to locate where water power was unavailable. This Project
as name suggest demonstrate the working of First Come First Serve Algorithm or FCFS Algorithm. The
objects are drawn using the GLUT functions. This project has been developed using Code: Blocks IDE on
Windows 7 operating system with OpenGL package.

2.DESIGN APPROACH
Designing a fast-cooling freezing AC system involves several key considerations:
Cooling Capacity: Determine the required cooling capacity based on the size of the area to be
cooled and the desired temperature reduction.
Refrigerant Selection: Choose a refrigerant with high heat transfer efficiency and low
environmental impact.
Compressor Efficiency: Select a compressor with high efficiency to ensure rapid cooling
without consuming excessive energy.
Heat Exchanger Design: Optimize the design of the evaporator and condenser coils for
maximum heat transfer efficiency.
Airflow Optimization: Ensure proper airflow distribution within the cooling unit to maximize heat
exchange and minimize cooling time.
Insulation: Use high-quality insulation materials to minimize heat transfer between the interior
and exterior of the cooling unit.
Control System: Implement a sophisticated control system to regulate compressor speed, fan
operation, and refrigerant flow for optimal performance.
Thermal Management: Incorporate features such as thermal overload protection and
automatic defrost to prevent overheating and icing of the system.
Maintenance and Servicing: Design the system for easy maintenance and servicing to ensure
long-term reliability and efficiency.
By focusing on these aspects, you can develop a fast-cooling freezing AC system that meets the
project's requirements for rapid cooling and efficient operation.

3. Components: -
The essence of the cooling and freezing process lies in the change of gas temperature as it
passes through compression and expansion in the air conditioning system. When the gas
expands in the copper pipes, there is a decrease in temperature, resulting in the absorption of
heat from the surrounding environment, including the walls of the pipes. This can cause
condensation of moisture on the surface of the pipes and, in case of high humidity in the air,
even the formation of ice.

A) Requirements: -
 3/16'' Plywood (approx. 12*8 cm)
 Retractable Pen (Optional)
 Brass Tubing: (find some at your local RC hobby shop)
 "Tea Light" candle
 Heavy washers with a diameter less than that of the tea light
 5 min Epoxy Glue
 Plastic Tubing
 Home Depot sprinkler
 Floral steam wire or piano wire
 Q-Tips with plastic tube
 Small elastic bands
 Plastic wrap.

Tools: -
 Drill and bits
 Tubing cutter
 Pliers Tin can
 Empty Tin can

Plans: -
Attached are two PDF files. "Parts Only with Measurement" includes a layout of all the
parts your will need to cut out of wood as well as the lengths for the wire and brass tubing
parts. "Parts Only No Measurements" is exactly the same but without any measurements
printed on the page; good for cutting out and gluing to your wood as a guide.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sipna COET, Amravati Page 12

B). Cut the Piston and the Cylinder: - Cut the cylinder and piston from two pieces of brass
tubing. They do not have to be exactly the as me diameters as I used but the smaller one should
fit very snugly inside the larger one and still be able to slide freely. Your local hobby shop
should have the correct sizes of brass tubing.
To use a tubing cutter, align your cut with the cutters blade and tighten the knob, not too
tight though h as not to squish the tube. Slowly rotate the tube inside the device tightening
the knob every few t urns until the blade cuts through the tube. It may take a few practices
runs; I ended up squishing the e tube too much several times.
Scrape out the inside lip of the cylinder with a razor blade to ensure no burs are left to scrape
up you r piston.

C): The Piston: - First cut the wire (24AWG) for the piston rod (I used a thin piece of floral
wire but any stiff wire will do), then make a 90 ° bend 3mm from one end.
Now take some sandpaper and scuff up the inside of the piston. Next take a small piece of
plastic wrap and cover one end of the piston tube, secure it with an elastic commix some epoxy
and fill the inside of the piston tube with it. Be very careful not to get any on our tide of the
piston, also try to keep the tube pressed to the table so no epoxy will get out under the edges of
the plastic wrap. Now insert the piston rod (bent end first) straight into the epoxy. To ensure
that the piston rod stays at 90° you may want to push it through a piece of ~0.7mm foam first
and glue that in along with the piston rod (see Images). Alternatively, you could try hanging
the piston rod from something so that it is just 1mm or so above the table, this will ensure it
stays perfectly vertical while the epoxy hardens.

D): The Flywheel: -Start by cutting the crankshaft wire. It should be a 45mm long piece
of ~18 AWG wire. I used the wire from one of those little red flags you see stuck in lawns to
mark the sprinkler system. If your ca not find one Home Depot sells them. This size of wire
is excellent because it fits perfectly inside of the plastic tube that Q-Tips are made of.To
make the flywheel I popped the wax out of a tea light (candle), inserted the crankwire
through a few pieces of wood to keep it from pulling out of the wax and glued them to the
crankshaft, the n I added some metal washers (to add weight). Next, I put all this back into
the tea light and poured its melted wax back in to hold it all in place. Hopefully the images
below will better explain this proc Ess. To melt the wax, I put it in the bottom of a tin can
which I had bent a bit of a spout into to make it ea. sire to pour. Then put the can in a pot of
boiling water on the stove until the wax melted. Be sure to lay down a few layers of
newspaper before trying to pour molten wax, I also wouldn't rec commend doing this over
carpet. Epoxy could also easily be substituted for the wax; I just didn't have e enough epoxy
to do it.
If I were to do it again, I would drill a hole through the bottom of the tea light and run the
crankshaft wire all the way through so that the motor could be easily connected to another
device in order to p owner it. If you do this you should probably make the crankshaft wire
a cm or so longer.

E): Make the Wood Parts: -The wood parts are to be made from 3/16" plywood. I bought
mine from the craft department in Wal-Mart; $3 for a six pack of 7x3" sheets. You could also
use aluminum, brass, Teflon, plastic or Plexi glass instead of wood. Just make sure whatever
you use it has a nice smooth finish in-between the moving parts. You will find the plans for the
wood parts back on the Materials Page.3/16" plywood is easily cut, even with a razor knife. Cut
both sides and go over it with the blade sav real times until the wood cuts. Sand the edges
smooth. To cut the round crankshaft part start with a n octagon shaped piece and sand the
edges to a circle.

Body: -Now start by gluing the part Body 2 to Body 1. Drill the top two holes with a 3/32"
drill bit. Drill the central hole the same size as the wire you used for the Cylinder Pivot Wire.
Finally Drill the bottom hole the same size as the plastic tube from your Q-Tip.

F): Cylinder Block: - To build the cylinder block start by taking the wooden part "Cylinder
Back" and sanding down the c enter gray area of it by about 1mm. This will make a
smaller contact area between it and the body, this reducing friction.
Now drill out the center hole in this part the same size as the wire you will be using for the
"Cylinder Pivot" wire. Now drill out the top hole with a 3/32" bit.
Cut the wire for the "Cylinder Pivot" part and make a 90° bend 5mm from one end. Now, on
the Opp onsite side from where you sanded down 1mm on the "Cylinder Back" part you
must cut a 5mm long grove from the middle hole towards the top hole, just deep enough for
the 5mm of wire to rest in who end it has been inserted through the wood. This is the side
you will be gluing the cylinder to.

G): Cylinder Head: -Start by drilling out the 12mm hole in the cylinder head before you cut
out the square around it, unl ess you have a drill press such a large hole will be hard to align
with a small piece of wood. This al so helps it from splitting on you. Now cut out the 2.5mm
deep grove in the other Cylinder Head part. cylinder tube to prevent any e poxy from
dripping into it before gluing. Next drill the outer hole in the wooden crankshaft part the
same size as your piston rod wire, then d rill the central hole in that part the same size as the
wire used for your crankshaft. Now epoxy the part "Brace" to the flywheel side of the body
just under the hole for the crankshaft, I also added a small brace to the piston side of the
Body. Now epoxy a Q-Tip tube into the hole though the body and to the top of the brace. You
can now ins art the crankshaft through the body, add a few washers made of free spinning Q-
Tip tube between the flywheel and the body. Add more Q-Tip washers on the piston side to
provide This also helps prove not the wooden crankshaft part from accidentally getting glued
to the body. Finally trim off any excess length of crankshaft wire.

H): Finishing up: -First make a 90° bend in the piston rod 20.5mm from where it enters the
end of the piston. Now ins art the piston into the cylinder, then simultaneously push cylinder

pivot rod and the cylinder rod through the body and the crankshaft respectively.

Six-cylinder steam engine

You will likely have to turn the crankshaft to make the hole for the cylinder align with the
bend in the cylinder rod.

Now you just need a way to hold the cylinder tight up against the body. I used a spring from
a retro cable pen held in place with a screw on "prop-saver" from a model airplane. I also
found just putting g an elastic band around the piston and body worked quite well... if not
better than the spring, this o piton is also much easier to remove than if you glued a cap on
the cylinder pivot rod. An elastic or t wo should really be all you need here.
Troubleshooting: -
If your motor does not run first make sure everything spins fairly easily when turned by
hand. If it in the comments, I'll see what I can do but I'm no expert on the subject.
Final Thoughts: -
Over all I am very pleased with how this little motor came out. It runs very smoothly, looks
good a d was really easy and cheap to build. Some possible improvement include; the use of
bearings to r educe friction, waxing the wood where it rubs together, or replacing/coating
the wood with a layer of Teflon which would greatly reduce friction and help with the air
seal. You might also try making the air input/output holes a little bigger and upping the PSI
for more speed.

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions please don't hesitate to put them in
the com mints. I'll do my best to respond to them.

4.WORKING METHODOLOGY
To achieve fast cooling or freezing with an air conditioning (AC) system, a comprehensive
approach is required. This involves optimizing various factors such as system design, proper
sizing, airflow management, temperature settings, maintenance, and utilization of
advanced technologies.
A well-designed AC system with high-efficiency components like a powerful
compressor, efficient evaporator and condenser coils, and appropriate refrigerant is crucial.
Proper sizing ensures the unit matches the cooling demands of the space, avoiding
inefficiencies from under or oversizing. Airflow optimization, including unobstructed vents,
fans for circulation, and zoning systems, ensures even distribution of cool air throughout the
space. Temperature settings should be adjusted to the lowest comfortable level without
compromising energy efficiency.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant
levels, and ensuring all components function correctly, is essential for optimal performance.
Advanced technologies such as variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats enhance
efficiency and control. Strategic considerations like installing the unit in a shaded area, using
curtains or blinds to block sunlight, and minimizing heat-generating appliances reduce the
workload on the AC system. Creating cooling zones and utilizing thermal mass help maintain
comfortable temperatures efficiently. Taking advantage of cooler nighttime temperatures
through natural ventilation and controlling humidity levels with dehumidifiers further
optimize cooling performance.
In summary, achieving fast cooling or freezing with an AC system requires a holistic approach
that considers system design, proper sizing, airflow management, temperature settings,
maintenance, advanced technologies, strategic considerations, and humidity control. By
optimizing these factors, efficient and rapid cooling or freezing can be achieved without
sacrificing performance or energy efficiency. The steam engine was invented by several
individuals throughout history, with each contributing to its development and improvement.
The first practical steam engine was created by Thomas Newcomen, an English inventor, in
1712. Newcomen’s invention, known as the atmospheric engine, utilized steam pressure to
create a vacuum and operate a piston. Although Newcomen’s engine was a significant
breakthrough, it had limitations in terms of efficiency. James Watt, a Scottish engineer, made
significant improvements to the steam engine in the late 18th century. He introduced the
separate condenser, a key innovation that increased efficiency by condensing steam
separately from the cylinder, reducing energy waste and improving power output. Watt’s
improvements made steam engines more reliable and cost-effective, which led to their
widespread adoption in various industries. Minimize the use of heat-generating appliances
such as ovens, stoves, and dryers during peak cooling times. These appliances can add heat to
the space, making it harder for the AC system to cool effectively. If possible, create cooling
zones within the space by using ductless mini- split systems or zoning controls. This allows
for more precise control over the temperature in different areas, ensuring that cooling is
focused where it's needed most. Minimize the use of heat-generating appliances such as
ovens, stoves, and dryers during peak cooling times. These appliances can add heat to the
space, making it harder for the AC system to cool effectively.

Take advantage of cooler nighttime temperatures by opening windows and allowing natural
ventilation to cool the space. This can help reduce the workload on the AC system and pre-
cool the space for the following day.

6.CONCLUSION
We have met some problems in this work such as pressure leakage through valve and we don’t
know how much the steam pressure that the system needs.
Steam engines hold many basics physicals concepts in mechanics and thermodynamics
which are used for designing machines today. In the past, steam engines have contributed
significantly to the industry worlds and the scientific researches. Despite the rivals of internal
combustion engines, diesel engines and electrical engines, steam engines are known as a clean
machine that produce clean energy with no wastes.
We come up with the idea of designing steam engine because it is a simple engine but
containing the basic concepts of machines designs and we believe that the steam engine is an
example that engine designers should follow its mechanical concepts, theories and
environmental impacts. Rapid cooling freezing AC involves installing specialized
equipment with precise temperature control and adequate air circulation to quickly freeze
food items, preserving their quality. Automation, energy efficiency, safety measures, and
maintenance are key aspects of its implementation rapid cooling freezing AC, or commonly
known as flash freezing, involves using a specialized system to quickly freeze food items to
preserve their quality. The implementation typically includes: Rapid cooling freezing AC
