Question

A 4-stroke Diesel engine with a displacement of Vd = 2.5x10^-3m^3 produces a mean effective pressure of 6.4 bar at the speed of 2000 rpm. Calculate the power developed by the engine at this operating condition.

Answer 1

Answer:

The power developed by engine is 167.55 KW

Explanation:

Given that

$V_d=2.5\times 10^{-3} m^3$

Mean effective pressure = 6.4 bar

Speed = 2000 rpm

We know that power is the work done per second.

So

$P=6.4\times 100\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{2\pi \times2000}{120}$

We have to notice one point that we divide by 120 instead of 60, because it is a 4 cylinder engine.

P=167.55 KW

So the power developed by engine is 167.55 KW
