 b) A spark ignition engine on test consumes. 5 kg/hr of petrol when running on an air-fuel ratio 8
of 16:1. The engine uses a single jet carburetor having a fuel orifice area of 2mm 2 and the
tip of the jet is 5mm above the level of petrol in the float chamber, when the engine is not
running. Calculate the depression in the venturi throat to maintain the required fuel flow
rate through the carburetor. Assume specific gravity of petrol as 0.75 and the coefficient of
discharge of the fuel orifice as 0.8. What area of venturi throat will be required to maintain
the desired flow rate? Density of air is 1.20kg / m3 and the coefficient of discharge of
venturi throat is 0.8 Neglect. Compressibility of air.
