Application of ICE in PP
1. Peak load plant Diesel plants can be used in combination with
thermal or hydro-plants as peak load units. They can be easily
started or stopped at a short notice to meet the peak demand.
2. Mobile plant Diesel plants mounted on trailers can be used for
temporary or emergency purposes such as for supplying power to
large civil engineering works.
3. Standby unit If the main unit fails or cannot cope up with the
demand, a diesel plant can supply the necessary power. For
example, if water available in a hydro-plant is not adequately
available due to less rainfall, the diesel station can operate in
parallel to generate the short fall in power.
4. Emergency plant During power interruption in a vital unit like a
key industrial plant or a hospital, a diesel electric plant can be
used to generate the needed power.

Application of ICE in PP
5. Nursery station In the absence of main grid, a diesel plant can be
installed to supply power in a small town. In course of time, when
electricity from the main grid becomes available in the town, the
diesel unit can be shifted to some other area which needs power
on a small scale. Such a diesel plant is called a "nursery station".
6. Starting stations Diesel units can be used to run the auxiliaries
(like FD and ID fans, Boiler Feed Pump, etc.) for starting a large
steam power plant.
7. Central stations Diesel electric plants can be used as central
station where the capacity required is small
8. IPP Applications in some countries DPPs are used as a part of
the main electric generation network. In these a large number of
machines work in parallel to produce the total power.

DPP Problems
Problem # 1
Following are the observations made for a 20 minute trial of a two-stroke
diesel engine.
Net brake load = 680 N, mep = 3.0 bar, N = 360 rpm, Fuel consumption
= 1.56 kg, Cooling water = 160 kg, Water inlet temperature = 32°C,
Water outlet temperature = 57°C, Air used/kg fuel = 30 kg, Room
temperature = 27°C, Exhaust gas temperature = 310°C, Cylinder
dimensions = 210 mm bore x 290 mm stroke, Brake diameter = 1m,
Calorific value of fuel = 44 MJ/kg, Steam formed per kg fuel in the
exhaust = 1.3 kg, specific heat of steam in exhaust = 2.093 kJ/kgK,
Specific heat of dry exhaust gases = 1.01 kJ/kgK.

Calculate the indicated power and the brake power and make an energy
balance of the engine.

DPP Problems
Problem #2
During a test on a diesel engine used for driving a dc generator, the
following observations were made.
The output of the generator was 215 A at 210 V, the efficiency of the
generator being 85%. The quantity of fuel supplied to the engine was
11.8 kg/h, the calorific value of fuel being 43 MJ/kg. The air-fuel ratio
was 18:1.
The exhaust gases were passed through an exhaust gas calorimeter
for which the observations were as follows:
Water circulated through the calorimeter = 560 litres/h, Temperature
rise of water = 38°C, Temperature of exhaust gases at exit from
calorimeter = 97°C, Specific heat of exhaust gases = 1.04 kJ/kgK,
Ambient temperature = 30°C.

If the heat lost to the jacket cooling water was 32% of the total energy
released by combustion, draw up energy balance sheet of the engine.

DPP Problems
Problem # 3

A four-stroke CI engine of 3.5 litre capacity develops indicated power


on average of 13.1 kW/m3 of free air induced per minute, while running
at 3600 rpm and having a volumetric efficiency of 82%, referred to free
air conditions of 1.013 bar and 25°C. A blower driven mechanically from
the engine is proposed to be installed for supercharging. It works
through a pressure ratio of 1.75 and has an isentropic efficiency of
70%. Assume that at the end of the intake stroke the cylinders contain
a volume of charge equal to the swept volume, at the pressure and
temperature of the delivered air from the blower. Taking all mechanical
efficiencies to be 80%, estimate the net increase in brake power of the
engine due to supercharging.
