Question
The air flow through a four-cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine was measured by means of a
7.5-cm diameter accurate flow-measuring device with its discharge coefficient of 0.66. During
a Power Plants laboratory trial on this engine the following data were noted down as follows:
Bore (d)
Stroke (Ls)
Shaft speed (N.)
Mass flow rate of fuel used (m,)
Brake power (W,)
= 110
= 12
= 180000 rev/h
166.67 g/min

kW
MJ/kg
kJ/kg
Higher calorific value (HCV)
Heat carried away by water vapours in the exhaust (qsteam)
Pressure drop across the measuring device (Ahw), by a water manometer
Atmospheric pressure (P.)
Atmospheric temperature (ta)

Determine:
(a) the brake thermal efficiency (7, th),
(b) the brake mean effective pressure (P m), and
(c) the volumetric efficiency (nvol.e air cond) based on free air conditions.
For air: Ra = 0.287 kJ/(kg-K) and the mass density if water, P =987kg/m³ and the local accel-
eration due to gravity, g = 9.79 m/s².
