(ii)             Air-fuel ratio

 

(iii)           The brake mean effective pressure

 

(iv)           The relative efficiency on the brake thermal efficiency

 


 

Given data:

 

Fuel c onsumption = 30cc in 12sec

Speed (N) = 2500/60 rps

 

Brake power = 20KW

 

Orifice diameter (do) = 0.035 m

 

Pressure across the orifice (Po) = 140mm of water

 

Coefficient of discharge (Cd) = 0.6

 

 

Piston diameter (d) = 150mm = 0.15m Stroke length (l) = 0.1m

Density of fuel (ρ) = 0.85gm/ cc Compression ratio (r) = 6.5 Room temperature (Ta) = 297 K

 

Barometric pressure = 760mm of Hg = 101.325KK/m2= 10.34m of water To Find:

(i)               Volumet ric efficiency on the air basis alone

 

(ii)             Air-fuel ratio

 

(iii)          The brake mean effective pressure

 

(iv)          The relative efficiency on the brake thermal efficiency
