Chapter 791 Diesel Engine Does Not Last(2/2)
This diesel engine is exactly the same as the one demonstrated on the playground, except that some details can be seen clearly.
The diesel engine had been running for nearly twenty minutes, only to hear a click and suddenly stalled.
When the sound rang out, the guards of the Qilin Guard immediately formed a human wall in front of Emperor Su He and Prince Su Shu.
They entered the laboratory to check and confirmed that it was safe and that it was just a false alarm.
Emperor Su He entered the laboratory and saw Professor Jiang Qing leading his students to dismantle the diesel engine.
When they saw the emperor and the prince coming in, they immediately prepared their luggage.
Emperor Su He said in a calm tone: "You are busy with business, don't worry about etiquette."
He stopped Professor Jiang Qing and others from saluting, and asked curiously: "I saw the diesel engine forcibly stopped running very quickly on the playground, and I knew there were some defects in the diesel engine.
What exactly is the reason for the defect?"
Professor Jiang Qing moved very quickly. He took apart the diesel engine casing and saw that the crankshaft and other parts inside were twisted.
"Your Majesty, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
I never expected that developing an internal combustion engine would be so expensive.
The school has tried its best to support the internal combustion engine project team, but we have also exhausted almost all the funds for the project.
The cause of this problem in the diesel engine requires a long period of testing to find, but due to lack of money and other reasons, the progress has been very slow.
Thanks to the breakthrough of Imperial Steel technology and the emergence of electric motor boring machines.
I made the cylinder of the diesel engine without any hindrance.
But it is precisely because the power of the diesel engine is too strong that the crankshaft connecting rod runs at high speed, and even high-strength steel cannot withstand such an environment.
I tried to cool down the parts with water, but this was only partially successful. The diesel engine could run normally for a while, but then it would cause abnormal deformation of the parts."
Emperor Su He took over the damaged and deformed parts.
He asked curiously: "I am not very familiar with mechanical processing, but what kind of talent does the empire have?"
Emperor Su He gave Qin Shanshui a few instructions and found top scholars in the field of machinery at the scene.
Guo Zhenshan, a mechanical engineering academician who designs and manufactures railways and trains, was approached.
Guo Zhenshan watched the diesel engine to find new power for the next generation of locomotives.
Today's trains use steam engines, and various indicators have reached the limits of steam engines.
A lot of money has been invested in the Empire's train project, but there has been no progress for three years.
When Guo Zhenshan heard the news about diesel engines, he immediately felt that this was a new breakthrough, so he came to visit the diesel engine test.
While he was chatting with his friends, he was called away by the Qilin Guard.
Guo Zhenshan learned about the situation and came to the laboratory with confidence.
When Professor Jiang Qing saw Guo Zhenshan, he was extremely excited.
Guo Zhenshan’s famous name is simply like thunder.
Many of the textbooks he uses in teaching were written by Guo Zhenshan himself.
Professor Jiang Qing believes that he has some fantastic ideas, but his level of research in the mechanical field is definitely not as good as Guo Zhenshan’s.
He immediately handed the damaged parts to Guo Zhenshan.
"Academician Guo, it is official that this part is often damaged, which causes the diesel engine to run for a short time.
You have rich experience, please give me an idea."
Guo Zhenshan took out the magnifying glass he carried with him. He carefully observed the damage to the parts and asked Professor Jiang Qing how the parts were operating in the machine.
After Guo Zhenshan read it, he took out the small hammer in the laboratory and kept tapping on the parts.
His face looked serious at first, but soon a smile appeared on his face.
"I know the reason why this part was damaged. The diesel engine piston did work too fast, driving the crankshaft connecting rod to run at high speed.
This damaged crankshaft is mainly due to high temperature caused by wear between parts.
Why don't you use engine oil? This is the simplest solution. This problem should not occur."

Academician Guo Zhenshan slapped his head. This is the biggest problem faced by the imperial scientific research community now, information is not flowing smoothly.
Some of the results of the Royal Academy of Sciences are something that they have taken for granted internally, but the outside world is not aware of them at all.
“To put it simply, engine oil is liquid lubricating oil.
It not only lubricates the machine, but also quickly conducts heat away from the machine."
When Professor Jiang Qing heard these two functions of engine oil, he was surprised and said: "There is really such a thing as engine oil, and it perfectly solves the problems I encountered.
With oil to lubricate the machine and dissipate heat, I can reinstall the gear set that I had no choice but to remove before and reinstall it on the diesel engine.
In this way, both the transmission function of the diesel engine and the power output of the diesel engine will be more stable."
Academician Guo Zhenshan nodded and said: "Motor oil is very useful, especially for machines with built-in gears.
In some simple steam engines, except for the mechanical device of connecting rod and crankshaft, all its external gears are placed outside.
Workers can observe the condition of these parts in real time and promptly observe problems if they occur.
Precision steam engines and diesel engines have many gears and other mechanical structures inside, and external lubricating oil has little effect. Soaking these machines in engine oil can solve many problems."
After Academician Guo Zhenshan asked Emperor Su He for instructions, he sent someone to the Royal Academy of Sciences to get engine oil. At the same time, he taught Professor Jiang Qing how to use engine oil.
Professor Jiang Qing learned quickly. He understood the functions and usage requirements of engine oil.
Some improvements have been made to the diesel engine so that it can hold oil without spilling it due to bumps.
