Example 1 Air & Fuel Induction

This document discusses the performance of a 5.6-liter V8 engine that can operate on either 8 cylinders or 4 cylinders through cylinder cutout. When operating on 4 cylinders, the engine needs to increase speed to produce the same brake power output. Calculations show that operating on 4 cylinders would reduce fuel consumption by 6.1% and require an engine speed of 2782 RPM to maintain the same brake power.

Air and Fuel Induction

Example Problem 1
A 5.6-liter V8 engine with a compression ratio of 10.2:1 is equipped with cylinder cutout, which
converts it to a 2.8 liter four-cylinder engine at low load requirements. The engine operates on an
Otto cycle using gasoline, and with eight cylinders at 1800 RPM it has an AF = 14.9, a volumet-
ric efficiency of 57%, a combustion efficiency of 91%, and a mechanical efficiency of 92%. If
cylinder cutout occurs, the engine speeds up to produce the same brake power output. Using only
four cylinders at this condition the engine has an AF = 14.2, a volumetric efficiency of 66%, and
a combustion efficiency of 99%, but a mechanical efficiency of only 90%.
Calculate:

1. percent reduction in fuel consumption operating on four cylinders to produce same


brake power output
2. engine speed needed to produce same power output using only four cylinders
(1) Indicated thermal efficiency of Otto cycle is

ht = 1 - 11>rc2k - 1 = 1 - 11>10.221.35 - 1 = 0.556 = 55.6%

Air flow into an eight cylinder engine can be calculated as follows:

Fuel flow into an eight cylinder engine can be calculated as follows:

mf = ma>AF = 10.0565 kg>sec2>114.92 = 0.00379 kg>sec

Brake power output of eight cylinder engine is

Fuel flow rate needed for the same brake power output, using only four cylinders is

175.9 kW2 = 10.90210.5562mf143,000 kJ>kg210.992 mf = 0.00356 kg>sec

The percent decrease in fuel usage is

¢% = [10.00356 - 0.003792>10.003792]11002 = -6.1%

(2) Air flow rate needed with four cylinders is

The engine speed needed to produce same brake power output can be calculated as
follows:
