Electronically Controlled Fuel Injector

 This is a smart type of fuel injector which is controlled electronically by the electronic control unit of the engine which is also known as brain of modern engines.

Electronically controlled fuel injectors consist of following parts –






  • Injector body- Same as the mechanically controlled fuel injector the body of this type of injector is a precisely designed hollow shell inside which all the other components are arranged.
  • Plunger- Same as the mechanically controlled fuel injector a plunger is used for the opening and closing of the nozzle but in electronically controlled fuel injector the opening of the nozzle is controlled electronically with the help of electromagnets.
  • Spring – Same as the mechanically controlled fuel injector a plunger spring is used to hold the plunger in its position in order to close the nozzle of the fuel injector when required.
  • Electromagnets – Unlike mechanically controlled fuel injector this type of injector is equipped with electromagnets just around the plunger which controls the opening of the nozzle by taking the electronic signal from the electronic control unit of the engine through the electronic plug or connection connecting the fuel injector with the electronic control unit of the engine.
  • Electronic plug/connection- At the top end of electronically controlled fuel injector a connection/plug is present through which the electronic signal from the electronic control unit of the engine is transferred to the electromagnets which in turn opens the nozzle in order to spray the fuel.

Working 

  • The fuel pump start pumping the fuel to the fuel injector and the timing, amount and pressure of the fuel entering the fuel injector is governed by the electronic control unit.
  • The electronic control unit sends the electronic signal to the fuel injector with the help of the electronic connection, due to these electronic signals from the ECU the electromagnets inside the fuel injector got activated which in turn pushes the plunger outward results in opening of the nozzle and finally the spray of the fuel takes place.
  • After completing this particular cycle the electronic signal from the ECU stops which in turn deactivates the electromagnets due to which the plunger returns to its initial position results in closing of the nozzle and the spray of the fuel stops.
  • The closing of the nozzle is maintained by the plunger spring.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
