Question
A four-stroke SI engine 0.08 m bore (d), 0.10 m stroke (L), is tested at full throttle at
constant speed. The fuel supply (m; ) is fixed at 0.0011333 kg/s and the spark plugs
of the four cylinders are successively short circuited without change of speed, brake
torque (4) being correspondingly adjusted. The brake power (bp) measurements are
the following:
With all cylinders firing
With cylinder No. 1 cut off
With cylinder No. 2 cut off
With cylinder No. 3 cut off
With cylinder No. 2 cut off = 9.1 kW
12.5 kW
9 kW
9.15 kW
9.2 kW
The lower calorific (or heating value, LCV) of the fuel is 44100 kJ/kg. The clearance
volume (Va) of one cylinder 70.0x10³ mm³. Determine:
(a) Indicated power (ip) of the engine under these conditions.
(b) The indicated thermal efficiency (Nind, th).
(c) The relative efficiency (7el) of this engine.
