Tutorial4 Questions

The document discusses four problems related to internal combustion engine cycles: 1) It asks to calculate temperature, pressure, net work, and thermal efficiency for a 4-cylinder 4L diesel engine operating on a dual cycle with known parameters like compression ratio and fuel properties. 2) It asks to determine temperature, pressure, thermal efficiency, and mean effective pressure for an air-standard diesel cycle with given compression ratio, initial conditions, and cutoff ratio. 3) It provides specifications for an Otto cycle gas engine and asks to determine pressure, temperature, thermal efficiency, work done, and mean effective pressure through the cycle. 4) It does not provide a fourth problem statement.

Tutorial 4 Internal Combustion Engines

The question marked with an asterisk (*) will be graded.


*1. A small truck has a 4-cylinder, 4 litre CI engine operating on the air-standard dual cycle as
shown. The heat qm provided externally per cycle to each cylinder is from the combustion of
0.05g of light diesel fuel with LHV 42500 kJ/kg. The compression ratio of the engine is 15:1 and
the cylinder bore is 100mm. At the start of the compression stroke, conditions in the cylinder are
600C and 100kPa. It can be assumed that half of the heat input from combustion is added at
constant volume and half at constant pressure. Calculate:
(a) temperature and pressure at each characteristic state of the cycle
(b) net work of the cycle
(c) thermal (indicated) efficiency of the cycle

2. At the beginning of the compression process of an air-standard Diesel cycle operating with a
compression ratio of 18, the temperature is 300K, the pressure is 0.1MPa and 1917cm3. The
cutoff ratio for the cycle is 2. Determine
(a) the temperature and pressure at the end of each process of the cycle
(b) the thermal efficiency and
(c) the mean effective pressure, in MPa
Note: the cutoff ratio is defined as the ratio between the volume at the end of heat addition to
the volume at the beginning of heat addition in the Diesel cycle

3. A gas engine working on the Otto cycle has a cylinder bore of 200mm and stroke length of
250mm. The clearance volume is 1570cc. The pressure and temperature at the beginning of
compression are 1 bar and 270C respectively. The maximum temperature of the cycle is
14000C. Determine
(a) the pressure and temperature at the end of each process in the cycle,
(b) the thermal efficiency,
(c) the work done and
(d) the mean effective pressure
Given Cv=0.718 kJ/kg.K, R= 0.287 kJ/kg.K
