Measurement of mass flow rate of fuel and specific fuel

consumption of:
 Petrol engine
Apparatus:
• Engine Cycle Analyzer
• TD202 & TD212 (Four stroke diesel engine)

Procedure:
• First of all check all the safety precautions and then switch ON the engine.
• Run the engine at specific rpm and take readings through interface of the
engine cycle analyzer.
• Note the speed of the engine.
• Note the ambient pressure of the engine.
• Note the ambient Temperature of the engine.
• Note the differential pressure of the engine.
• Calculate the mass flow rate of fuel by using these values.
• Repeat all these steps and take five readings by changing the rpm of the engine.

Calculations & Tables:

Mass flow rate of air = ma = (𝑐𝑑 ∗ 𝜋 4 𝑑 2 ∗ 𝑉𝑎𝑖𝑟)
Mass flow rate = 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑚3 𝑠) (𝑘𝑔 𝑚3) X

4 1745 6.4 1169.5

Observation:
In this week we find the power, speed and torque of the diesel engine. The
speed increases by increasing the torque by which power of the engine increasing
