12. The air fuel ratio of diesel engine is 31:1. If the compression ratio
is 15:1 and the temperature at the end of compression is 1000K,
find at what percentage of stroke is the combustion complete if
the combustion begins at TDC and continuous at constant
pressure. Calorific value of fuel is 40000 kJ/kg. Assume the
variable specific heat Cp = 1 + 0.28 x 10-4 T where T is in Kelvin.
13. Bring out clearly the process of combustion in CI engine and also
explain the various stages of combustion.
(or)
14. (a) What is meant by DI combustion chamber?
(b) Explain the any two types of combustion chambers.
15. A six cylinder, gasoline engine operates on the four stroke cycle.
The bore of each cylinder is 80 mm and stroke 100mm. The
clearance volume per cylinder is 70 3cc. At a speed of 4000 rpm,
the fuel consumption is 20 kg/h and the torque developed is 150
Nm. Calculate
(a) Brake power
(b) The brake mean effective pressure
(c) Brake thermal efficiency if the calorific value of the fuel is
43000 kJ/kg and
(d) The relative efficiency on brake power basis assuming the
engine works on the constant volume cycle. Assume y = 1.4 for
air
