A 4-cycle diesel engine with a 16: 1 compression ratio drives a 550 kW electric generator at 1250 rev / min. the efficiency of the generator is 92%. In these conditions, the air-fuel ratio of the engine is 20: 1 and the specific effective consumption is 6.75kg / sec per kW. Intake air conditions are 90 KPa and 35 ° Celsius. the volumetric efficiency of the motor is 85%. the stroke is 1.3 times the diameter of the cylinder. determine in the case of a 6-cylinder engine a) the inside diameter and stroke of each cylinder b) the volume of dead space per cylinder c) fuel consumption in kg / sec d) the thermal efficiency if the fuel is C12H26
