Question 4
a) Each cylinder in a four-cylinder car engine has a bore diameter of 63.53 mm and the
stroke for each piston is 175.00 mm. Calculate the cubic capacity of the engine in cm3
and calculate the clearance volume per cylinder for a compression ratio, r, of 6.25.
b) The bore diameter of each cylinder in a six-cylinder four-stroke internal combustion
engine is 32 mm and the stroke of each piston is 125 mm. During testing, the engine
runs at 1450 revolutions per minute (rpm) with a pressure-volume indicator diagram
showing a mean net area of 2.90 cm? and a diagram length of 0.85 cm. The pressure
scale on the indicator diagram is set to 165 kN/m2 per cm. Calculate the mean
effective pressure (m.e.p) and the indicated power in kilowatts (kW) developed by this
six-cylinder four-stroke engine. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
c) A hollow connecting rod has an inner diameter of 26.25 mm and is subjected to an
axial tensile load of 500 MN. If the maximum allowable stress for this hollow rod is 325
kN/mm2, calculate the minimum thickness of the rod. Give your answer in
millimetres (mm) and to 2 decimal places.
