Recent study has shown that the application of a Scotch Yoke crank mechanism to a reciprocating internal combustion engine reduces the engine's size and weight and generates sinusoidal piston motion that allows for complete balance of the engine. This paper describes detailed investigation of the performance of a linear bearing assembly, which is one of the key components of the Scotch Yoke mechanism. The investigation starts by solving Reynolds equation for the Scotch Yoke linear bearing. The two-dimensional lubricant flow is numerically simulated and the calculated results are compared with experimental results from a linear bearing test rig. The performance characteristics and a design sensitivity analysis of the bearing are presented. Dynamic testing and analysis of an instrumented linear bearing on a test rig are used to validate the numerical simulation model. The oil supply and lubrication mechanism in the linear bearing are analysed and described in detail. This work aims to provide new insights into Scotch Yoke linear bearing design. In addition, strategies for optimization of the linear bearing are discussed.

The use of information visualization in engineering analysis and design has increased exponentially, making it indispensable in science and engineering education. In this paper, several new concepts on graphical representation of two-dimensional data are presented, and their implementation in a computer program called D_2D detailed. Application examples include mechanism kinematics, vibrations, and optimizations. New ideas on plotting inequalities of two variables, damping ratio evaluation of single degree-of-freedom vibratory systems, and time ratio calculation of crank-driven mechanisms are presented in paper.

This paper describes a two dimensional model for flow analysis and design of a single entry nozzle-less volute casing for inward flow radial turbines. The model takes into account the cross-sectional shape of the casing by dividing it into a number of segments which are further sub divided into control volumes. Changes in flow properties are calculated by considering the changes in momenta of fluid in the tangential and the radial directions across each control volume. The model, has been computerized using Fortran 77 for the IBM AT or 100% compatible micro computers.

A two-dimensional model for MHD channel design and analysis has been developed for three different modes of operation: velocity, Mach number, and pressure. Given the distribution of any of these three parameters along the channel, the channel aspect ratio, and the channel operating conditions, the MHD channel geometry can be predicted. The developed two-dimensional design model avoids unnecessary assumptions for surface losses and boundary layer voltage drops that are required in one-dimensional calculations and, thus, can yield a better prediction of MHD channel geometry and performance. The subject model includes a simplified treatment for possible arcing near the electrode walls. A one-dimensional model for slag flow along the channel walls is also incorporated. The effects of wall temperature and slag carry-over on channel performance are discussed.
