A six-cylinder, single acting, two stroke Diesel engine is arranged with cranks at 60° for the firingsequence 1-4-5-2-3-6. The cylinders, numbered 1 to 6 in succession are pitched 1.5 m apart, exceptcylinders 3 and 4 which are 1.8 m apart. The reciprocating and revolving masses per line are 2.2tonnes and 1.6 tonnes respectively. The crank length is 375 mm, the connecting rod length is 1.6 m,and the speed is 120 r.p.m.Determine the maximum and minimum values of the primary couple due to the reciprocating andrevolving parts. Also find the maximum secondary couple and angular position relative to crankNo. 1. Take the plane between the cylinders 3 and 4 as the reference plane
