Answer:
A number of engine geometry properties and performance parameters obtained from dynamometer testing are given in Table below:
Please calculate:
i) Cylinder bore, bore to stroke ratio, connecting rod to crank radius ratio, and clearance volume in each engine cylinder.
ii) Brake power output at 3800 rpm and the torque output at 6000 rpm.
iii) Brake, indicated and friction mean effective pressures at both 3800 rpm and 6000 rpm.
iv) Brake specific fuel consumption in kg/(kW h) and brake thermal efficiency at 3800 rpm.
v) Volumetric efficiency at 3800 rpm.
vi) Air to fuel ratio and the relative air to fuel ratio at 3800 rpm. Is this a lean or rich mixture?
