1- An unsupercharged petrol engine develops 1000 b.h.p with a fuel air ratio of .078.
The brake specific fuel consumption is 0.26 kg/b.h.p. hr. and mechanical efficiency
is 0.86. The inlet pressure is 730 mm of Hg abs. And the mixture temperature is
325 K. The engine is supercharged to a pressure ratio of 1.6 by a centrifugal
supercharger of adiabatic efficiency 0.7 and mechanical efficiency 0.9. Inlet to the
blower is at the same conditions as those of unsupercharged engine inlet.
Assuming that the fuel air ratio remains unchanged and i.h.p. is proportional to
inlet density, calculate the b.h.p. of the supercharged engine and its brake specific
fuel consumption. Also calculate the overall mechanical efficiency. Assume that
volumetric efficiency does not change due to supercharging.
2- A four stroke diesel engine with 4 cylinders of dimensions 16 cm x 20 cm, runs at
1000 rpm. The compression ratio is 15.5 and fuel air ratio at rated power is 0.04.
The indicated thermal efficiency of the engine at the above fuel air ratio is 0.40,
The mechanical efficiency is 0.85 and the volumetric efficiency is 0.84. The engine
is supercharged to a pressure ratio of 2.0 by a turbo-compressor with a steady flow
turbine which runs independently of the engine. Under supercharged condition the
fuel air ratio is reduced to 0.038 at which the indicated thermal efficiency is 0.42
and mechanical efficiency is 0.87. Calculate the b.h.p. and brake specific fuel
consumption of the unsupercharged engine and the supercharged engine. Also find
the exhaust temperature of the engine when running with the turbo-compressor.
The inlet condition is 1.03 kg/cm2 and 40 oC.
3- A two stroke diesel engine with 8 cylinders of dimensions 13 cm x 18.5 cm, runs at
1500 rpm. The compression ratio is 15.5 and fuel air ratio used is 06 times the
stoichiometric fuel air ratio. Cross scavening, with scavening ratio of 1.1, by a
single stage centrifugal pump and a steady flow exhaust turbine both geared to the
engine shaft is used. The scavening compressor operates at apressure ratio of 2.8.
The scaveningefficiency under the operating conditions is 0.56. Calculate the b.h.p.
and b.s.f.c. of the engine under supercharged condition. Turbine pressure ratio is
0.85 times the compressor ratio. Fuel is medium diesel oil ( Q= 41600 kJ/kg ,
stoichiometric fuel air ratio is 0.067) , indicated efficiency is 0.4. Turbine and
compressor adiabatic efficiency 0.80 and mechanical efficiency is 0.90, the exhaust
gas temperature is 290 oC above the temperature of the charge entering the engine.
M.e.p consumed to overcome friction in supercharged and unsupercharged engine
is the same and is equal to 15% of i.m.e.p of unsupercharged engine. The inlet
condition is 1.03 kg/cm2 and 40 oC.
4- An eight cylinders diesel engine produces 170 b.h.p when running at 1500 rpm.
The mechanicl efficiency is 0.82. The engine is supercharged by a turbo
supercharger having compressor pressure ratio of 2. The adiabatic efficiency of the
compressor is 0.65. The i.m.e.p of the engine is proportional to the inlet density of
the charge and the mechanical efficiency does not change due to supercharging. A
water cooler of 0.65 effectiveness is added to cool the air before it enters to the
engine. Calculate the b.h.p. of the supercharged engine when air is cooled and
when there is no air cooling. The inlet condition is 1.03 kg/cm2 and 40 oC.
