Imperial College of Engineering (Affiliated by Rajshahi University)

Department of Mechanical Engineering (Year: 4th; Term: 1st)

Course Name: Applied Thermodynamics I; Course code: ME 4131
CT-01 || Time: 50 min || Full Marks: 35
1. Write short notes on - (3 × 𝟏 = 3)
(a) Valve overlapping; (b) Atomization; (c) Cetane rating;
2. What is combustion? Describe the terms: (a) Pre-ignition; (b) Auto ignition; (c) Self ignition (1+ 3 × 𝟏 = 4)
3. Describe 4 Stages of Combustion in CI Engines with necessary figure. (4+2 = 6)
4. What is ignition delay? Why does it occur in CI engine? What are the processes of ignition delay? (1+1+2 = 4)
5. Explain the factors that affects ignition delay. (3)
6. Why do we need air swirl? List the methods of generating air swirl. Describe induction swirl and compression swirl with their 3
advantages and disadvantages. (1+1+3 = 5)
7. What do you mean by Squish? Explain how does the exhaust gas composition data in mole fractions is changing with respect to
equivalence ratio with necessary figure. (1+1.5+1.5 = 4)
8. Define rich combustion and lean combustion. In case of IC engine during the exhaust stroke, the exhaust vale is opened for long
time. Explain why? (1+3 = 4)
9. Why more attention is required for scavenging in two stroke engines than that in four stroke engines? (2)
