The air flow to a four cylinder 4-stroke oil engine is measured by means of a 4.5 cm diameter orifice, having Cd = 0.65. During a test the following data was recorded:
Bore = 10 cm, Stroke = 15 cm,
Engine speed = 1000 RPM,
Brake torque = 135 Nm,\fuel consumption = 5.0 kg/our,
CVfuel = 42600 kJ/kg, Head across orifice = 6 cm of water, Ambient temperature and pressure are 300 K and 1.0 bar respectively. Calculate:
- Brake thermal efficiency
- The brake mean effective pressure
- The volumetric efficiency
Take R = 2.87 J/kg K for air. 30
