The following data obtained in trial of 4 cylinder gas engine

Duration of trial = 1 hr

Revolution = 14000

No. of missed cycle = 500

Net load = 1470N

Mean eff. Pressure = 7.5 bar

Gas consumption = 20000 lit

LCV of gas supply condition = 21 KJ/liters

Cylinder Diameter = 250mm

Stroke = 450mm

Effective break circumference = 4m

Compression ratio = 6.5

Determine

1. Indicated power
2. brake power
3. mechanical effeciency
4. indicated thermal effeciency
Solution:-
NW = N = 1400 = 700 rpm

Given,

Mass of the air = 6 kg/min = 0.1 kg/sec


Mass of the fuel = 0.4 kg/min
Density of the fuel = 770 kg/m3
Initial Pressure P1= 1 bar
Initial Temperature T1 =290 K
Velocity of air at the throat C2 = 100 m/sec
Cda = 0.84
Cdf = 0.65
Ratio of specific heat = 1.4
Pressure drop across the fuel metering orifice is 0.85 of the pressure at the throat
