Question
Show from the following data taken for the automobile test performed on a 4 cylinder gasoline
engine calculate the Brake Thermal Efficiency:
Fuel intake = 9.78 lb/hour
Brake output = 36.5 HP
Specific gravity of gasoline at 60°F = 0.738
Room temperature = 78.5° F
Throttle Setting = 9/16 full throttle
High heating value (HHV) = 25,960 BTU/lb
Conversion factor 1HP = 2,545 BTU/hour
MUST show all steps. MUST show units in each step.
1 horsepower [international] = 0.746 kilowatt
1 kilogram = 2.204 lbs
1 BTU = 1.055 kilo joules
Round off ALL answers to three decimals. MUST show the units in every step.
