Question
A cement truck with four-stroke diesel engine has 6 cylinders. The bore and stroke of each cylinder are
713 mm and 1,962 mm, respectively. The brake mean effective pressure of each cylinder is 1.23 MPa
and the engine rotates at 122 rpm. The brake thermal efficiency of the engine is 39 %, the mechanical
efficiency is 81 % and the net calorific value of the diesel is 30.8 MJ/kg. Determine the specific fuel
consumtion in units with kilogram, kilowatt and hour to 3 decimal places. Insert the unit symbol.
