Two possible overhead valve combustion chambers are being considered, the first has two valves and the second design has four valves per cylinder. The diameter of the inlet valve is 23 mm for the first design and 18.5 mm for the second design. If the second design is adopted, show that the total valve perimeter is increased by 60.8 per cent. If the valve lift is restricted to the same fraction of valve diameter, calculate the increase in flow area. What are the additional benefits in using four valves per cylinder?

The spiral of Archimedes is a curve described in polar coordinates by the equation ?? = ???? where ?? is the distance of a point from the origin, and ?? is the angle of the point in radians with respect to the positive x-axis. Write an m-file to create a plot of the spiral of Archimedes using 1000 points for 0 ? ?? ? 6?? ?????? when k = 0.5. Be sure to include a title, axis labels, and grid on the plot. Hint: use the command axis equal.

In a heat treatment of a specific excavator bucket tooth of 15kg mass, the tooth is heated to 8850C and to achieve the required level of physical properties it needs to be cooled to the final temperature in a cooling tank using brine as the cooling medium. Determine the final temperature if the minimum required mass of brine initially at 200C temperature is 260 kg, using specific heat values cb= 3.71 J/g·K and cs=0.47 J/g·K for brine and steel respectively. Assume no heat losses to the environment.
