Transcribed Image Text:CHAPTER 5 : DIESEL ENGINE POWER PLANT
A six cylinder, four-stroke CI engine is tested against a water brake dynamometer for which
B.P = WN/17x10' in kW, where W is the brake load in newton and N is the speed of the
engine in the r.p.m. The air consumption was measured by means of a sharp edged orifice.
During the test following observersations were taken :
• Bore
• Stroke
• Speed
• Brake load
Barometer reading
= 10 cm
= 14 cm
= 2500 rpm
= 480 N
= 76 cm Hg
• Orifice diameter
• Co-efficient of discharge of orifice
• Pressure drop across orifice
• Room temperature
Fuel Consumption
= 3.3 cm
= 0.62
= 14 cm of Hg
= 25°C
= 0.32 kg/min
Calculate following :
i.
The volumetric efficiency
The brake mean effective pressure ( b.m.e.p)
The engine torque
The brake specific fuel consumption ( b.s.f.c )
ii.
iv.
