A 5-cylinder square engine with a total stroke volume of 3.5 liters, operating according to a 4-stroke cycle, operates at 2500 rpm. Since the mechanical efficiency of the engine is 62% and the Indicative work produced for each cylinder is 1 kJ, find the specific power of the engine in kW / cm2.
-For suare engine, diameter = length of stroke
-For four stroke engine, number of power stroke = half of total revolutions
- Specific Power = 0.1776 KW/cm2
