Example 1:

A 3 Litre spark-ignition V6 engine operates on a four-stroke cycle at 3000 rpm. The compression
ratio is 9.0, the length of connecting rod is 17.2 cm and engine is square. At this speed, combustion
ends 20o aTDC.
Determine
a) The cylinder bore and stroke length
b) Average piston speed
c) The clearance volume of the cylinder
d) The distance piston travels from TDC after combustion.
Example 2:
In a four stroke single cylinder gas engine the indicated mean effective pressure is 0.46 MN/m2 ,
the brake power 9 kW, speed 250 rpm, mechanical efficiency, ηm = 0.8, and bore to stroke ratio =
0.66. Calculate Indicated power, cylinder diameter and mean piston speed.

Example 3:
A four stroke petrol engine delivers 35.75kW with a mechanical efficiency of 80%, the fuel
consumption of the engine is 0.4 kg per brake power hour, and the A/F ratio is 14:1.The heating
value of the fuel is 41870 kJ/kg. Find:
(a) i.p, (b) f.p. (c) ηBT , (d) ηIT , (e) fuel consumption per hour, (f) air consumption per hour
Example 4:
The air flow to a four cylinder four – stroke engine is 2.15 m /min. During a test
3

on the engine the following data were recorded:


Bore 10.5cm; stroke 12.5cm; engine speed 1200 rpm, torque 150 N.m, fuel consumption 5.5 kg/h,
calorific value of fuel, 43124 kJ/kg, ambient temperature and pressure are 20 o C and 1.03 bars.
Calculate:
1- The brake thermal efficiency.
2- The brakes mean effective pressure.
3- The volumetric efficiency.
