q1

An eight-cylinder, four-stroke engine of 9 cm bore and 8 cm stroke with a compression
ratio of 7 is tested at 4500 rev/min on a dynamometer which has 54 cm arm. During a 10
minutes test the dynamometer scale beam reading was 42 kg and the engine consumed
4.4 kg of gasoline having a calorific value of 44000 kJ/kg. Air at 27°C and 1 bar was
supplied to the carburettor at the rate of 6 kg/min. Take R for air = 287 kJ/(kg·K). Find:
(1)
the brake power delivered (bp),
(2)
the brake mean effective pressure (bmep),
the brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc),
(3)
(4)
the brake specific air consumption (bsac),
(5)
the brake thermal efficiency (76, ih),
(6)
the volumetric efficiency (7vol), and
(7)
the air-fuel ratio (A/F) on mass basis.
Draw the simplified schematic diagram of the plant showing all the necessary data dis-
played on it.
