    Practice Problem Set


    Internal Combustion Engines
    1. A spark-ignition (Otto) engine is proposed to have a compression ratio of 10 while operating with a low temperature of 200C
    and a low pressure of 200 kPa. If the work output is to be 1000 kJ/kg, calculate the maximum possible thermal efficiency and
    compare with that of a Carnot cycle. Also calculate the MEP.
    2. A diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 18 operates on air with a low pressure of 200 kPa and low temperature 200C. If the
    work output is 1000 kJ/kg, determine the thermal efficiency and the MEP.
    3. A six-cylinder engine with a compression ratio of 8 and a total volume at TDC of 600 mL intakes atmospheric air at 20C. The
    maximum temperature during a cycle is 1500C. Assuming an Otto cycle, calculate (a) the heat supplied per cycle, (b) the
    thermal efficiency, and (c) the power output for 4000 rpm.
    4. A diesel engine intakes atmospheric air at 60F and adds 800 Btu/lbm of energy. If the maximum pressure is 1200 psia,
    calculate (a) cutoff ratio, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the power output for an airflow of 0.2 lbm/sec.
    5. An engine with a bore and stroke of 0.2 x 0.2 m and a clearance of 5 percent experiences a minimum pressure of 120 kPa
    and a maximum pressure of 12 MPa. If it operates on an Otto cycle, determine (a) the displacement volume, (b) the
    compression ratio, and (c) the MEP.
    6. A spark-ignition engine operates on an Otto cycle with a compression ratio of 9 and temperature limits of 30C and 1000C. If
    the power output is 500 kW, calculate the thermal efficiency and the mass flux of air.
    7. An Otto cycle operates with air entering the compression process at 15 psia and 90F. If 600 Btu/lbm of energy is added
    during combustion and the compression ratio is 10, determine the work output and the MEP.
    8. The maximum allowable pressure in an Otto cycle is 8 MPa. Conditions at the beginning of the air compression are 85 kPa
    and 22C. Calculate the required heat addition and the MEP, if the compression ratio is 8.
    9. A maximum temperature of 1600C is possible in an Otto cycle in which air enters the compression process at 85 kPa and
    30C. Find the heat addition and the MEP, if the compression ratio is 6.
    10. A diesel engine is designed to operate with a compression ratio of 16 and air entering the compression stroke at 110 kPa and
    20C. If energy added during combustion is 1800 kJ/kg, calculate (a) the cutoff ratio, (b) thermal efficiency, and (c) the MEP.
    11. A diesel engine has a 0.6 x 1.2 m bore and stroke and operates with 5 percent clearance. For a power output of 5000 hp,
    calculate the compression ratio and the rate of heat input if the cutoff ratio is 2.5.
