IC Engine Performane Calculation

Given Data:
Bore (D) = 0.1 m
Stroke (L) = 0.14 m
Number of cylinders (n) = 6
Speed (N) = 2500 rpm
Brake load (W) = 480 N
Fuel consumption = 0.32 kg/min = 0.00533 kg/s
Orifice diameter (d) = 0.033 m
Coefficient of discharge (Cd) = 0.62
Pressure drop = 14 cm Hg
Barometric pressure = 76 cm Hg
Temperature = 85°C = 358 K

------------------------------------------------------------

1) Brake Power (BP):

BP = (W × N) / (17 × 10^3)

BP = (480 × 2500) / 17000


BP = 70.59 kW

------------------------------------------------------------

2) Engine Torque (T):

BP = (2πNT)/60

T = (BP × 60) / (2πN)

T = (70.59 × 10^3 × 60) / (2π × 2500)


T = 269.5 Nm

------------------------------------------------------------

3) Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP):

Area, A = πD²/4 = 7.854 × 10⁻³ m²


BP = (pb × L × A × n × N) / (2 × 60)

pb = (BP × 120) / (L × A × n × N)

pb = (70.59 × 10^3 × 120) / (0.14 × 7.854×10⁻³ × 6 × 2500)

pb = 5.15 bar (approx)

------------------------------------------------------------

4) Volumetric Efficiency:

Swept volume per second:

Vs = (L × A × n × N) / 2

Vs = (0.14 × 7.854×10⁻³ × 6 × 2500) / 2


Vs = 8.24 m³/min = 0.137 m³/s

Air flow through orifice:

ΔP = 14 cm Hg = 18648 N/m²
ρ_air ≈ 1.2 kg/m³

Ao = πd²/4 = 8.55 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Qa = Cd × Ao × √(2ΔP/ρ)

Qa = 0.62 × 8.55×10⁻⁴ × √(2×18648/1.2)


Qa ≈ 0.074 m³/s

Volumetric efficiency:

ηv = Qa / Vs

ηv = 0.074 / 0.137
ηv = 0.54 = 54%

------------------------------------------------------------

5) Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC):

BSFC = Fuel flow rate / BP


= 0.32 / 70.59

BSFC = 0.00453 kg/kWh

------------------------------------------------------------

Final Answers:

Volumetric Efficiency = 54%


Brake Mean Effective Pressure = 5.15 bar
Torque = 269.5 Nm
BSFC = 0.00453 kg/kWh
