Numerical Problem from Reference 2

2-7. The engine operating at the conditions in Problem 2-6 is square, with S=B. Calculate: (a) Specific power. [kW/c ] ]

(b) Output per displacement. [kW/ c (c) Specific volume. [c /kW]

(d) Power lost to friction in kW and hp. Given Data

Number of Cylinders= 5 Total Volume =Vtotal=3.5 L Crankshaft rotational speed=N=2500 RPM Mechanical efficiency of the engine= Indicated Work=Wi =1000J=1kJ B=S

m =62%

We have to find: (a) Specific power. [kW/c ] ]

(b) Output per displacement. [kW/ c (c) Specific volume. [c /kW]

(d) Power lost to friction in kW and hp. Solution: Vd= Vd=0.0007 Vd=3500 As B=S Vd= _______________________________________(1) =700c (for 5 cylinders) (for 1 cylinder)

B=0.0962m B=9.62cm B=S=9.62cm (for square) (a) Specific power. [kW/c ]=?

Brake work=mechanical efficiency X Indicated work Wb= m X Wi Wb=(0.62 X 1kJ)=0.62kJ Wb=0.62 kJ Specific Power Output=Ps= Pb= ___________________________(2) ______________________________(3)

Equation 3 gives the brake power for 1 cylinder in order to find for 5 cylinders multiply the above equation by 5. Putting the know values in equation 3 We get
( )

bP= bP=64.6kW

To find area of cylinder = A=72.68 c (area for one cylinder) (area for 5 cylinders)

A=72.68 X 5=363.4 c

Now putting the values of brake power and area in equation 2

Specific Power Output=Ps= Ps=0.178kW/ c (b) Output per displacement. [kW/ c Output per displacement= OPD= OPD=0.0185kJ/ (c) Specific volume. [c Specific volume=SV= SV= SV=54.2 (d) Power lost to friction in kW and hp=? Brake power=indicated power-frictional power bP=iP-fP fp=iP-bP iP=
