1- You need to analyze the operation and performance of a four-stroke, spark-ignition internal combustion engine (automobile engine).

a- Would you analyze the engine as an Open System or a Closed System?

b- How many properties of the engine exhaust would you need to measure in order to determine the Thermodynamic State of the exhaust gas?

c- Identify a set of properties of the exhaust gas that you might measure to establish its state.

d- Are these properties Intensive or Extensive?

Expert Solution

Four stroke, spark-ignition internal combustion engine works on the basis of otto cycle. To analyze the performance of SI engine the following give clarification,

a) The internal combustion engine analysis is done as closed system why because it is a fixed rate of mass flow rate means controlled mass basis.

b) Three properties of the engine exhaust would you need to measure in order to tell the thermodynamic state of the exhaust gas.

c) the 3 properties are used to establish its state they are Pressure , Volume, and Temperature of the exhaust gas.

d) out of three properties two are independent of mass they are pressure and Temperature so these are called Intensive properties and the volume is depends on mass so it is called Extensive property.

Problem 1: A 5.2-liter, spark-ignition, four-stroke cycle, V6 automobile engine operates at 2400 RPM with ? = 1.5. The engine has a volumetric efficiency of 89%, with bore as B = 2.1 S. The density of air at room temperature is 1.18 kg/m3. Lamda = 1.5 Calculate: Stroke length (m and cm) Average piston speed (m/sec) Mass flow rate of air into engine [kg/sec] Mass flow rate of fuel into engine [kg/sec]

During the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited and the...

During the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited and the expanding hot gases push on the piston. Fuel efficiency is maximized in this process when the ignited gas is as hot as possible, the gas expands allowing a maximum amount of work to be done, and cooled exhaust gas is released at the end of the cycle. Assuming the engine exhibits the highest efficiency possible, which of the following statements concerning the exhaust gas...

Temperatures of gases inside the combustion chamber of a four‑stroke automobile engine can reach up to...

Temperatures of gases inside the combustion chamber of a four‑stroke automobile engine can reach up to 1000 ∘C.1000 ∘C. To remove this enormous amount of heat, the engine utilizes a closed liquid‑cooled system that relies on conduction to transfer heat from the engine block into the liquid and then into the atmosphere by flowing coolant around the outside surface of each cylinder. Suppose that, in a particular 55‑cylinder engine, each cylinder has a diameter of 8.50 cm,8.50 cm, a height...

A reputable engine company has been making carbureted spark-ignition engines that operate with an equivalence ratio = 1.0 and a compression ratio of 9:1 for years. In order to control emissions, the engines operate with 20% exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a three-way catalytic converter. Since the company’s market share is steadily dropping, they consider hiring a MEC graduate to rescue them. The ambitious young engineer proposes a port fuel-injected (PFI) design, which operates lean at 0.7 with a high...
