The area of an indicator diagram taken off a four-cylinder, single-acting, four-stroke, internal combustion engine when running at 5.5 rev/s is 390 mm2, the length is 70mm and the scale of the indicator spring is 1mm = 1.6 bar. The diameter of the cylinder is 150mm and the stroke is 200mm. Calculate the indicated power of the engine assuming all cylinders develop equal power.
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
