 In an oil engine, working h ?dual combustion cycle the temperature and pressure at the beginning of
compression, are 90°C and 1 bar. The compression ratio is 13:1. The heat supplied per kg of air is 1672
KJ, half h
?which is supplied at constant volume and half at constant pressure. Calculate i) the maximum
pressure in the cycle, and ii) the percentage of stroke at which cut off occur. Take r for compression 1.4;
Cv for products of combustion, 0.71+18.81 *10-5 T and R = O.287kJ/kgK.

R The air fuel ratio of a Diesel engine is 29: 1. If the compression ratio is 16: 1 and the temperature at
the end of compression is 900 K, find at what cylinder volume the combustion is complete. Express this
volume as percentage of stroke. Assume that the combustion begins at the top dead center and takes
place at constant pressure. Take calorific value of the fuel as 42 mJ/kg, R= 0.287 ð
ð?and Cv = 0.709
+O.000028T ð

o A petrol engine having a compression ratio of 6 uses a fuel with a calorific value of 42 MJ/kg. The air-
fuel ratio is 15:1 Pressure and temperature at the start of suction stroke are1 bar and å
?respectively.
Determine the maximum pressure in the cylinder if the index of compression is 1.3 and the specific heat
at constant volume is given by „v 0.678+ 0.00013T, where T is in Kelvin. Compare this value with that
obtained when Cv =0.717 kJ/kgK.
