QUIZ

DIESEL POWER PLANT

1.) A six cylinder, four stroke diesel engine
with 76mm bore x 89mm stroke was run in
the laboratory at 2000 rpm, when it was found
that the engine torque was 153.5 N-m with all
cylinders firing but 123 N-m when one
cylinder was out. The engine consumed 12.2
kg of fuel per hour with a heating value of
54,120 kJ/kg and 252.2 kg of air at 15.6 °C
per hour. Determine the indicated power?
2.) A 500 KW diesel engine develops torque of 2
kN-m, The engine drives an alternating current
generator with 8 poles producing current at
60Hz. What is the speed ratio of speed reduction
gear?
• 3.) A four stroke 394 mm bore and 534 mm
stroke single acting diesel engine with our
cylinders is guaranteed to deliver 350 Bhp at
300 rpm. The engine consumed 66.8g kg/hr of
fuel with a heating value of 44251 kj/kg.
Calculate the indicated mean effective
pressure if Kpa if mechanical efficiency is 89%.
• 4.) A supercharged six cylinder, four stroke
diesel engine of 10.48 cm bore and 12.7cm
stroke has a compression ratio of 15. When it
is tested on a dynamometer with a 53.34 cm
arm at 2500 rpm, the scale reads 81.65 kg,
2.86 kg of fuel of 45,822.20 kj/kg heating
value are burned during a 6 min, test and air
metered to the cylinders at the rate of 0.182
kg/s. Find the brake thermal efficiency.
