Question

An eight-cylinder, square, 4.2 L, S.I. engine, operates on a four-stroke cycle
at 3200 RPM and compression ratio rc of 10. At this condition, the mechanical
efficiency is 65% and 1200 J of indicated work is produced in each cylinder. It
has a combustion efficiency of 98%, AF ratio of 12, and a heating value of 43
MJ/kg. Determine the following:

(a) bore of the engine in cm,
(b) specific volume in kW/cm2,
(c) output per displacement in hp/cm3,
(d) frictional losses in kW,
(e) mass flow rate of fuel in the engine in kg/hr,
(f) brake specific fuel consumption in gm/kW-hr,
(g) brake thermal efficiency,
(h) fuel conversion efficiency.
