A 320 mm x 400 mm, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke cycle, single acting diesel engine has indicated mean effective pressure of 420 kg/cm2 and the specific consumption is 0.22 kg/kW-hr. It runs at 260 RPM. The fuel oil used has 22 ˚API at a temperature of 43 C. The mechanical efficiency is 72%. Determine: Fuel consumption, gallons per minute If the engine was to be installed at an elevation of 1480 m above sea level, what is the adjusted brake power output of the engine, kW and the brake thermal efficiency, %
