Design a four stroke cycle for SI engine using crankcase
compression. Draw schematics of the six basic process: intake,
compression, combustion, expansion, blowdown and exhaust. Describe
fully the intake of air, fuel and oil.
An ideal four stroke Otto cycle engine has 6 cylinders and a
displacement of 4 Liters. It has a compression ratio of 8.5:1. If
the mean effective pressure is 4000 kPa when operating at 3000 rpm,
what will be the indicated power and what is the required heat
transfer to the engine from a combusting fuel?
1) A four-stroke diesel engine has a piston diameter of 16.5 cm
and a stroke of 27 cm. The compression ratio is 14.3, the cut-off
4.23% of the stroke and the mean effective pressure 4.12 bar. The
engine speed is 264 rev/min and the fuel consumption is 1.076 kg of
oil per hour, having a calorific value of 39150 kJ/kg. Calculate
the relative efficiency of the engine 2). A diesel engine has a
brake thermal efficiency of 30%. If the...
During the power stroke in a four-stroke automobile engine, the
pis-ton is forced down as the mixture of combustion products and
air undergoes an adiabatic expansion. Assume (1) the engine is
running at 2500 cycles/min; (2) the pressure immediately before the
expansion is 20.0 atm; (3) the volumes of the mixture immediately
before and after the expansion are 50.0 cm3and 400 cm3,
respectively ; (4) the time interval for expansion is one-fourth
that of the total cycle; and (5) the...

A four-cylinder four-stroke engine is operating at a bmep of 2
bar. The pressure at inlet valve closure is 0.37 bar, and the fmep
is 0.8 bar. Assuming that the engine gross indicated efficiency is
unchanged, verify that disablement of the valves on two cylinders
would reduce the fuel consumption by about 13 per cent compared
with about an 8 per cent fuel saving if the fuel was not supplied
to two cylinders. Assume that the gross imep is proportional...
