Calculate the diameter of fuel orifice of 4 stroke engine which develops 25 kW per
cylinder at 2500 rpm. The specific fuel consumption is 0.3 kg/kW h and fuel is
injected at a pressure of 150 bar over a crank travel of 25°. The pressure in the
combustion chamber is 40 bar. Coefficient of velocity is 0.875 and specific gravity
is 0.8762.

4.a.
A 4 stroke diesel engine working at sea level (pressure = 1 bar and temperature
17°C) develops a brake power of 280 kW with a volumetric efficiency of 80% at
sea level condition. Engine works at an Air-Fuel ratio of 18:1, with specific fuel
consumption of 0-240 kg/kW h. The engine runs at 1800rpm. Determine the engine
capacity and the bmep. The Engine is taken to an altitude of 3 km where the
ambient pressure and temperature are -23°C and 0.715 bar. A mechanically
coupled supercharger is fitted which consumes 12% of the total power developed.
The temperature of air leaving the supercharger is 37°C. Determine degree of
supercharging required to maintain the same brake power of sea level.

5.a.
A test on a single-cylinder, 4 stroke oil engine having a bore of 15 cm and stroke
30 cm gave the following results: speed 300 rpm; brake torque 200 Nm; Indicated
mean effective pressure 7 bar; fuel consumption 2.4 kg/h; cooling water flow 5
kg/min; cooling water temperature rise 35°C; air-fuel ratio 22; exhaust gas
temperature 410°C; barometer pressure 1 bar; room temperature 20°C. The fuel
has a calorific value of 42 MJ/kg and contains 15% by weight of hydrogen. Take
latent heat of vaporization as 2250 kJ/kg. Determine the Indicated thermal
Efficiency and volumetric efficiency based on atmospheric conditions.
Also draw up a heat balance sheet in terms of kJ/min. Take $C_{p}$ for dry exhaust gas as 1 kj/kg-k and superheated steam $C_{p}=2.1 \mathrm{k} \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{k} ; \mathrm{R}=0.287 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{K}$
