Journal and anti friction bearing r the? two general type of bearing.journal bearing operates with sliding contact ,where as anti friction bearing operates under predominantly rolling contact.and there r two types of rivet joints ,these r tabular rivets and blind rivets.

The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors:

1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH)
2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC)

And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.

sagar jain

• Apr 5th, 2016

In carnot engine, working fluid is ideal gas. The only possiblity that the efficiency of carnot engine to be 100% is when the temperature of reservoir comes to absolute zero.

Rakesh Sharma

• May 24th, 2014

There is not any even a single cycle having efficiency higher than the carnot cycle efficiency it means carnot engine having 100% efficiency.

First thing you have to know is what is called cetane and octane number.

The octane number is the percentage of octane in the mixture of fuel
The centane number is the percentage of cetane
The octane number expresses the self ignition temperature, as this no. increases the self ignition temperature increases too and this make the knock to be avoidable and the cetane no. is vice verse

**Octane no. increase self ignition increase and cetane no decrease"" SIE needs high octane no"
**Cetane no increase the octane no decrease and the self ignition temperature decrease" CIE needs this"

Case 1: SI engine we dont want the Self Ignition to be reached we use a fuel have a high octane to avoid the knock "which damage the engine"

Case 2: CI the compression ratio is too high "12:22" and this kind of engine depends essentially on the self ignition temperature so we use a fuel with high cetane no "low octane" as the high cetane "low octane" gives low self ignition temperature and that is we need in the CIE..
