A four-stroke , four cylinder diesels engine running at 2000

rpm develops 60 kW. Brake thermal efficiency is 30% and

calorific value of fuel is 42 MJ/kg. Engine has a bore of 120
mm and stroke of 100 mm. Take ρa = 1.15 kg/m3, air-fuel
ratio = 15.1 and ηm = 0.8. calculate fuel consumption (kg/s),
air consumption (m3/s), indicated thermal efficiency,
volumetric efficiency and mean piston speed.
A four stroke petrol engine at full load delivers 50 kW. It
requires 8.5 kW to rotate it without load at the same
speed. Find its mechanical efficiency at full load, half
load. Also find out the volume of the fuel consumed per
second at full load if the brake thermal efficiency is 25%,
given that calorific value of the fuel = 42 MJ/kg and
specific gravity of petrol is 0.75. Estimate the indicated
thermal efficiency.
A spark-ignition engine is throttled when opiating at part load
(the inlet pressure is reduced) while the fuel/air ratio is held
essential constant. The inlet pressure air is at pressure P1, the
exhaust pressure is atmospheric Pa, and the ambient
temperature is Ta. Derive an expression for the decrease in
the net thermal efficiency due to throttling from the ideal
constant-volume cycle efficiency and show that it is
proportional to ((Pa/P1)-1). Assume mass of fuel is very less
compared to mass of air.
