2 (b) Write a note on effects of detonation.(8 marks) 3 (a) A four cylinder four stroke engine has a cubic capacity of 1490 cm3. It develops maximum power at 4200 RPM and air fuel ratio required is 13:1. The air speed at venturi is limited to 90 m/s. The volumetric efficiency of engine is 70%. Nozzle lip is 6mm and atmospheric pressure and temperature are 1.013 bar and 293 K. An allowance is to be made for emulsion tube whose diameter should be taken as 1/2.5 of venture diameter. Taking following data, calculate the diameter of venture and nozzle.
