Question No 1
Calculate the break thermal efficiency of an engine which consumes 7 kg of fuel in 20
minutes and develops a brake power of 65 kW. The fuel has a heating value of 42000 kJ/kg?
Solution:

Question No 2
Calculate the mean piston speed of a diesel engine running at 1500 rpm. The engine has 100
mm bore and L/d ratio is 1.5.
Solution:
Question No 3
A four stroke, four-cylinder spark ignition engine has a bore of 80 mm and stroke of 80 mm.
The compression ratio is 8. Calculate the cubic capacity of the engine and the clearance
volume of each cylinder? What type of engine is this?
Solution:

Question No 4
A four stroke, compression ignition engine with four cylinders develops an indicated power
of 125 kW and delivers a break power of 100 kW. Calculate break power and mechanical
efficiency of the engine.
Solution:
Question No 5
A four stroke, four- cylinder diesel engine running at 4000 rpm develops 120 kW. Brake
thermal efficiency is 60% and calorific value of fuel (CV) is 42 MJ/kg. Engine has a bore of
120 mm and stroke of 100 mm. Take density of air =1.15 kg/m3, air – fuel ratio = 15:1 and
mechanical efficiency = 0.9. Determine (i) fuel consumption (kg/s) : (ii) air consumption
(m3/s): (iii) indicated thermal efficiency: (iv) volumetric efficiency ; (v) mean piston speed.
Solution:
Question No 6
A double-cylinder, four-stroke hydrogen fueled spark-ignition engine delivers a brake power
of 30 kW at 3000 rpm. The air-gas ratio is 9:1 and the calorific value of fuel is 11000 kJ/m 3 .
The compression ratio is 9:1. If volumetric efficiency is 70%, indicated thermal efficiency is
35% and the mechanical efficiency is 90%, calculate the cubic capacity of the engine.
Question No 7
A one-liter cubic capacity, four stroke, four-cylinder SI engine has a brake thermal efficiency
of 40% and indicated power is 50 KW at full load. At half load, it has a mechanical efficiency
of 75%. Assuming constant mechanical losses, calculate (i) brake power (ii) frictional power
(iii) mechanical efficiency at full load (iv) indicated thermal efficiency. If the volume
decreases by eight-fold during the compression stroke, calculate the clearance volume.
Solution:
Question No 8
A Four stroke petrol engine at full load delivers 60 kW. It requires 9.5 kW to rotate it load at
the same speed. Find its mechanical efficiency at full load. Half load and quarter load?
Also find out the volume of the fuel consumed per second at full load if the brake thermal
efficiency is 35%, given that calorific value of the fuel = 42 MJ/kg and specific gravity of
petrol is 0.85. Estimate the indicated thermal efficiency.
Solution:
Question No 9
The indicated thermal efficiency of four-stroke engine is 40% and its mechanical efficiency is
70%. The fuel consumption rate is 30 kg/h running at a fixed speed. The brake mean pressure
developed is 8 bar and the mean piston speed is 14 m/s. Assuming it to be a single cylinder
square engine calculates the crank radius and the speed of the engine. The CV = 42000
KJ/kg.
