Problem 31.

A four stroke 394mm bore and 534mm stroke single acting diesel engine
with four cylinders is guaranteed to deliver 350 Bhp at 300 rpm. The engine
consumed 66.8 kg/hr of fuel with a heating value of 44,251 KJ/kg. Calculate
indicated mean effective pressure in Kpa if mechanical efficiency is 89%.
A. 450.8 Kpa C. 345.6 Kpa
B. 234.5 Kpa D. 643.2 Kpa

SOLUTION:
Vd = /4 DLNc
300
Vd = /4 (0.394) (0.534) ( ) (4)
2x60
Vd = 0.651 m/sec
Brake Power = Pmb x Vd
350 (0.746) = Pmb x 0.651

Problem 35.
A certain diesel engine with the following classification, 8 cylinder, 400mm
x 600mm, four stroke cycle has a fuel consumption of 0.6 lbs/hp-hr based on
19,100 BTU/lb. Engine speed is 280RPM with an indicated mean effective
pressure 130 psi. If the jacket water carries away an estimated 25% of the heat
supply, find its capacity (gpm) required if the allowable rise is 40 F.
A. 234 C. 242
B. 673 D. 292

SOLUTION:
Vd = /4 DLNc
280
Vd = /4 (0.4) (0.60) ( ) (8)
2x60
Vd = 1.4074 m/sec

101.325
Indicated Power = (130 x ) (1.4074)
14.7
Indicated Power = 1,261.16 KW
Indicated Power = 1,690.56 Hp
mf = 0.6 (1,690.56)
mf = 1,014.336 lbs/hr

Heat Supplied = mf Qh = (1,014.336) (19,100)

Heat Supplied = 19,373,817.6 BTU/hr
Heat gained by water = (0.25) (19,373,817.6)
Heat gained by water = 4,843,454.4 BTU/hr
Heat gained by water = 80,724.24 BTU/min
Heat gained by water = mw Cp ( t2 t1 )

80,724.24 = mw (1) (40)

mw = 2,018.106 lb/min
