PART-B

1. Calculate the cylinder dimensions of a six cylinder engine for the

conditions given below:
Thermal efficiency = 22%, Volumetric efficiency = 80%, Mechanical
efficiency = 82%, Heating Value = 46400Kj/Kg, Theoretical air required
per kg of petrol 14.5, Excess of air = 25%, Gas constant = 287.14Kj/Kg
Petrol vapour has twice the density of air and the mixture at the end of
the suction stroke is at a pressure of 84.2Kn/m 2 and temperature of 333K.
The engine develops its rated power of 66Kw at a speed of 4200rpm.
Assume the stroke is 25% greater than the diameter.
(08)
2. Briefly explain the procedure of calculating indicated map and frictional
map and plotting PV diagram.
(16)
3. The following details are given for the piston, during expansion stroke.
