Instructions
Solve each exercise in an orderly way, specifying each of the assumptions made to use each equation in
a specific way.
Set out, develop and apply each equation step by step, indicating as clearly as possible the procedure
and analysis performed.

Make diagrams and indicate the control volume where necessary.

Indicate and highlight the final result at each exercise.
Develop and deliver the workshop in groups of up to 3 people.

Consumption Parameters Exercise

The engine of the previous exercises operates with a fuel air ratio of AF = 15, with a fuel with a lower
heating value of QLHV = 44 M J
kg and a combustion efficiency of ηc = 97 %. Calculate:

(a) Fuel consumption for the engine [ kg

s ].

(b) Break thermal efficiency [-].

(c) Indicated thermal efficiency [-].

(d) Volumetric efficiency [-].

(e) Break specific fuel consumption [ kWg−h ]
