Introduction:
The engine that we chose to create was the Cummins’s V903 Diesel Engine. This engine was for many years and up until recently was considered the ‘big dog” of diesel engines. This engine was used in the United States Army for many years and is just now starting to be phased out by a slightly bigger version of the engine that provides more power. The 903 was used in M1A1 Abrams tanks as well as many other military vehicles. This engine was, and is, used extensively in the marine
environment on boats and barges. This engine is one that can be set to meet many high power standards. The Cummins V903 range with engines from 350 horsepower to 500 horsepower. This engine is an internal, 4 stroke, piston combustion engine. It operates off of the principle of alternating combustions that happen on pistons to drive a connecting rod to drive a crankshaft. This engine has a displacement of 9.6L

Conclusion: This engine drawing presented a lot of very difficult factors to over come. The main problems that were encountered throughout the project were communication and scaling. The communication was a huge factor and in a sense can be considered the only factor that effected our project. We started off with poor communication between people in the group and then things started to lag and get bogged down. With this, there was really no set parameters with respect to the scale that everyone
needed to draw to. We started getting parts that were multiple sizes and not really knowing which would be best. This was fixed before it became a potentially larger problem. Action was taken swiftly to communicate to the group what our determined scale would be. That and was a huge undertaking that in the end fixed many problems and prevented more form occurring. The group fixed the bogging down problem by setting dates of priority. We got together and decided on when what needed to be done by when, and the order of priority.

Can you please help me with ONLY the C,D, and E parts of this question? I would appreciate any insight or explanation on the final 3 parts only. I asked this question already but I got an explanation of the first 3 instead of the final. lol. Thank you! For C, I understand that Th>Ti>Tc, does this mean that since the ec=1-Tc/Th that the efficiency won't change with having two engines because we are using the same temps?

Two automobile engines have the same total displacement volume and the same total
power produced within the cylinders.
List the possible advantages of:
(a) A V6 over a straight six.
(b) A V8 over a V6.
(c) A V6 over a V8.
(d) An opposed cylinder four over a straight four.
(e) An in-line six over an in-line four.

I am having a hard time understanding C-E on this problem. For C, I know that Th>Ti>Tc. Does that mean that since ec= 1-Tc/Th and Tc is the lowest temp of the system, that it is indeed more efficient with both engines?
The other ones, I just don't know where to start.
Any help or explantions would be appreciated!

Using the basic relations given below and detailing your method and assumptions,Develop all the analytical relations required to:1) Determine the temperatures and pressures at all stages of an ideal air-standard SIOtto cycle analysis2) Show that the thermal efficiency of any internal combustion engine can besimplified as a ratio of temperature differences 3) Discuss the concept of Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) and propose a rationale for the Figure 1 below (in other words, explain why the BSFC is decreasingbefore increasing with engine speed)

A comparison between the actual gasoline engine and actual diesel engine is to be made. Assume the heat added is the same. Check all that apply.
Group of answer choices
Because the diesel engine has a lower compression ratio the thermal efficiency will be higher because less work is required to compress the air.
Because the diesel engine can run a higher compression ratio the thermal efficiency will be higher.
Because the diesel engine has a higher efficiency, it reponds quickly to rapid accelerations and in-city driving conditions compared to a gasoline engine.
The diesel engine compresses only air on the compression stroke and is not knock limited so the compression ratio can be much higher
The gasoline engine is knock limited and the compression ratio will be lower than the diesel engine
The gasoline engine compresses only air on the compression stroke and is not knock limited so the compression ratio can be much higher

(f) An automobile engine produces 94 kW at 6300 rpm. In SI units, what is
the torque?
(g) An automobile engine produces 221 lb ft of torque at 1800 rpm. In Hp, how
much power does this engine produce?
