Performance
The engine has a compression ratio of 5. The fuel used has a calorific value of 44300
kJ/kg and the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is 14.5. Plot on a base of air-fuel ratio,
curves of brake mean effective pressure and the specific fuel consumption. Point out
these characteristics of petrol engine in general and this engine in particular,
revealed by these curves. Calculate the highest brake thermal efficiency given by
these tests.
17 In a test the percentage analysis of petrol is found to be C = 83.2%; H = 14.3% O2 =
. 2.5%. Calculate the mixture strength theoretically required for complete combustion
of this fuel. Tests were conducted on a petrol engine at full throttle and constant
speed, the quantity of fuel supplied to the engine being varied by means of an
adjustable needle valve fitted to the jet of the carburettor. The results obtained
were as follows:
Calorific value of fuel is 42 MJ/kg. Find the mixture strength for maximum brake
power and maximum thermal efficiency.
18 The following set of observations refer to a trial on a single-cylinder, four-stroke
. solid injection diesel engine of 200 mm bore and 400 mm stroke; gross mep = 6.20
bar, pumping mep = 0.44 bar, speed 262 rpm, brake torque = 468 Nm; fuel used 3.85
kg of oil per hour of gross calorific
value 46600 kJ/kg, cooling water 6 kg/min raised 47 ◦C. Draw up a heat balance
sheet for the trial expressing various quantitative in kJ/min and calculate the
mechanical efficiency of the engine. If the fuel contains 13.5% H2 (by mass) and the
air supply to the engine 1.71 kg/min at
17 ◦C. Estimate the heat carried away per minute by the exhaust gases when their
temperature is 280 ◦C. Assume a mean specific heat of 1 kJ/kg and specific heat of
fuel to be 4 kJ/kg K. Take sensible heat of air and fuel also in the heat balance.
