1. three-litter V6 engine operating at 2400 RPM. And at this speed the mechanical efficiency is 84%,
Cylinder conditions at the start of compression in an SI engine operating at WOT on an air-standard Otto
cycle are 60°C and 98 kPa. The engine has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and uses gasoline with AF = 15.5.
Combustion efficiency is 96%, and it can be assumed that there is no exhaust residual. Calculate.
(a) Brake power. [kW]
(b) Torque. [N-m]
(c) Brake means effective pressure. [kPa]
(d) Friction power lost. [kW]
(e) Brake specific fuel consumption. [gm/kW-hr]
(f) Volumetric efficiency. [%]
(g) Output per displacement. [kW/L]
2. A compression ignition engine for a small truck is to operate on an air-standard Dual cycle with a
compression ratio of rc = 18. Due to structural limitations, maximum allowable pressure in the cycle will be
9000 kPa. Light diesel fuel is used at a fuel-air ratio of FA = 0.054. Combustion efficiency can be
considered 100%. Cylinder conditions at the start of compression are 50°C and 98 kPa. Calculate: (a)
Maximum indicated thermal efficiency possible with these conditions. [%] (b) Peak cycle temperature under
conditions of part (a). [0C] (c) Minimum indicated thermal efficiency possible with these conditions. [%] (d)
Peak cycle temperature under conditions of part (c). [0C].
