Engine Design and Operating Parameters Problem Sheet

1- A large CI engine operating at 310 RPM has open combustion chambers and direct
injection. Fuel injection in each cylinder starts at 21 bTDC. The ignition delay ID is
0.0065 seconds. Calculate:
a - ID in degrees of engine operation
b - Crank angle position when combustion starts.

2- A two-stroke cycle CI engine delivers a brake power of 368 kW while 73.6 kW is used to
overcome the friction losses. It consumes 180 kg/h of fuel at an air-fuel ratio of 20:1. The
heating value of the fuel is 42000 kJ/kg. Calculate:
i- indicated power.
ii- mechanical efficiency.
iii- air consumption.
iv- indicated thermal efficiency.
v- brake thermal efficiency.

3- A 39.37 cm x 55.88 cm x 327-RPM 16 cylinder, 4-cycle stationary diesel engine is


connected to a 3000-KVA generator. It also drives a 30-kW exciter. Assume a generator
efficiency of 92% and determine BMEP at rated load.

4- A 4-cylinder, 4 stroke diesel engine is being designed. A bore of 100 mm and a stroke of 120
mm have been selected and the operating speed is to be 1500 rev/min. A turbocharging
system is envisaged which will supply inlet manifold air at 2.0 bar, 380 K. The volumetric
efficiency is expected to be 90%. The indicated fuel conversion efficiency has been estimated
at 55%, and an air-fuel ratio of 28:1 is to be used. The friction mean effective pressure is
expected to be 2.2 bar. The calorific or heating value of the fuel is 42.5 MJ/kg.

Estimate:

(a) Mass flow rate of air into the engine (kg/s)

(b) Mass of fuel burned per cylinder per cycle (g)

(c) The indicated work done per cylinder per cycle (kJ)

(d) The brake mean effective pressure (kPa)

(e) The engine shaft power output (kW)

(f) The brake specific fuel consumption (g/kW.hr)


(g) The brake fuel conversion efficiency.

5- The Isuzu V12 DI diesel 12PEI-S engine described in the attached sheets is operating at 2000
rpm, full load. At this operating condition the total friction power (consisting of rubbing
friction, pumping and accessory power) is 50 kW. Making an appropriate assumption for the
relative air-fuel ratio (remember that diesels operate lean overall) and using the
manufacturers specifications, calculate the following:

(a) mechanical efficiency

(b) brake fuel conversion efficiency

(c) indicated fuel conversion efficiency

(d) volumetric efficiency The engine is working with light diesel fuel, which has lower
heating value 43.2 MJ/kg and stoichiometric air-fuel ratio 14.5.
