The diameter of the valve port is designed based on the area and mean velocity of the piston, Based

d on the diameter of the valve port dp other valve dimension such as valve stem diameter valve head diameter, thickness of the valve head are designed

Diameter of the valve port(dp) Maximum lift of the valve Thickness of valve head(t) Valve steam diameter(ds) Valve head diameter (dv)

Diameter of the valve port(dp)

ap vp = a v ap = Area of the valve port = dp2 /4 vp =mean velocity of the gas through the port a.= Area of the piston = D2 /4 v. = Mean velocity of piston =2LN/60

Maximum lift of the valve

Thickness of valve head(t)

Valve steam diameter(ds)

Valve head diameter (dv)

Valve head diameter dv= dP+2 x width of valve seat. ( 0.5dp to 0.7dp )

An I.C engine valve made up of carbon steel designed for the following data: Bore=140mm, stroke=270mm, power=8.25KW, speed=475rpm, maximum gas pressure=3.5N/mm2
