a) The facility is using two diesel powered generators to provide electricity if there is a power failure. One is an old one which uses 2 stroke cycles and the other one is a brand new one which uses 4 stroke operating cycle. Following information has been written on the name plate of the brand-new generator but the information of the old generator is missing. It was known that the old generator is also a rare V8 engine (2 stroke) engine with an engine speed of 350 RPM. and the power output is the same as the brand-new generator.

Transcribed Image Text:a) The facility is using two diesel powered generators to provide electricity if there is a power
failure. One is an old one which uses 2 stroke cycles and the other one is a brand new one
which uses 4 stroke operating cycle.
Following information has been written on the name plate of the brand-new generator but the
information of the old generator is missing. It was known that the old generator is also a rare
V8 engine (2 stroke) engine with an engine speed of 350 RPM. and the power output is the
same as the brand-new generator.

Determine the following for each engine,
1. Indicated Mean effective Pressure & Indicated power of each engine
2. Brake Mean effective pressure & brake power of the engine.
Thus, evaluate the mechanical efficiencies of each engine. Explain why these values differs
with each other.
