Sketch and explain a PV Diagram and a Temperature Entropy Diagram for a 4 stroke diesel engine
0.113 cubic meter of air at 8.25 bar is expanded in a cylinder until the volume is 0.331 cubic meters. Calculate the final pressure and work done if the expansion is
Isothermal
Adiabatic (take γ = 1.4)
The effective radius of the pads in a single collar thrust block is 230 mm and the total load on the thrust block is 240 kN when the shaft is running at 93 rev/mm. Taking the coefficient of friction between thrust collar and pads to be 0.025, find (i) the power lost due to friction, (ii) the heat generated per hour, iii) the mass flow of oil in kilograms per hour through the block assuming all the heat is carried away by the oil, allowing an oil temperature rise of 20°C and taking the specific heat of the oil to be 2 kJ/kg k.
