Internal Combustion Engines (LAB)

ASSIGNMENT IN LIEU OF EXAMINATION

Engr. M. Ayub

(Task One)

Case Study

Engineering knowledge without Practical and Financial Outcome becomes Redundant. Therefore, the following study
requires both Practical Knowledge of Power Systems and Financial Optimization to Achieve the Required Outcomes.

A Person Owns A Honda CD70 that he uses to Commute daily from work. Saying that the Trip
is Fairly at a Constant Speed and that the Bike Travels Daily for 60kms at least, Achieve the
following (Study can be Performed on any Bike Available to you):

1. Find the Fuel Consumption Rate and Mileage of the Bike per Liter

2. Discuss the RER possibilities that are possible for the Same Vehicle, Same Trip Distance,
and Lower Costs than using Fossil Fuel.

3. Make a Complete in Detail Feasibility Study Report of Converting the Bike from
Conventional Fuel System to Solar Energy Dependent Electric Powered System. Discuss
the Steps and Process in Detail. Also State the Selection Criteria, Reason for Choice of
Components Chosen, Output Estimations, Longevity of the Modification, and Reliability
Study. Attach Quotations, Comparison between Product Details, and Budgeting to make
this Report fully Presentable to any Potential Investor.

Your Constraints for this Study are Following:

 Use Only Locally Available Products and Components
 The Total Cost of Modification Must not Exceed the Cost of New Vehicle or the
Extra Cost Should be Justified by the Longevity Studies
 The Total Area Available for Solar Panels Should be Less than 600 sqft
 The Modification Should not Affect the Bike’s Performance

At last, Briefly Discuss any 5 uses, where the redundant IC Engine removed after the
Modifications can be Used.

P.T.O
(Task Two)

Explain in detail and discuss, the Design Modifications to any given IC Engine, you will make to
achieve the following requirements:

1. Power Output of the Engine is needed to be Increased

2. Speed Output of the Engine is needed to be Increased.
3. The Engine is needed to be made more Power Efficient
4. The Engine is needed to be made more Volumetric Efficient
5. The Weight to Performance ratio is needed to be Decreased

Explain the Design and Performance Changes you shall make in detail, also explaining the
correlation between performance entities using formulas.
