1. A diesel engine is operating with a mean piston speed of 8 m/sec. Calculate the air flow
if the volumetric efficiency is 0.92. If (F/A) is 0.05 what is the fuel flow rate, and the
mass of fuel injected per cylinder per cycle.
2. The spark-ignition engine is operating at a mean piston speed of 10 m/sec. The
measures airflow is 60 g/sec. Calculate the volumetric efficiency based on atmospheric
conditions.
3. An SI, six-liter, V8 racecar engine operates at WOT on a four-stroke cycle at 6000 rpm
using stoichiometric nitromethane. Fuel enters the engine at a rate of 0.198 kg/sec and
combustion efficiency is 99%.
Calculate:
a. Volumetric Efficiency of engine (%)
b. Flow rate of air into engine (kg/sec)
c. Heat added per cycle per cylinder (KJ)
