Cylinder pressure when the exhaust valve opens is 460 kPa and exhaust manifold pressure is 100 kPa. i Determine the exhaust temperature during the exhaust stroke and the percent of exhaust residual after each cycle, [6 marks} ii, Determine the velocity out of the exhaust valve when the valve first opens and the maximum theoretical temperature in the exhaust as the velocity is dissipated [6 marks}MBB 4113 Illustrate and describe the details of fuel injection and combustion processes in a compression-ignition (Cl) engine. [6 marks] Some engines are designed with two sparkplugs per cylinder. If everything else is kept the same, evaluate the 2 spark plug design by TWO (2) advantages and TWO (2) disadvantages the two-sparkplug design for modem engine operation. [6 marks] A 3.2:liter SI engine is to be designed with bowl-in-piston combustion chambers. With a central spark plug and combustion at TDC, this gives a flame travel distance of B/4 where B is the bore of the engine. The engine is to operate with an average piston speed of 8 m/s anda burn angle of 25° of engine crank. The stroke of the engine, S = 0.95 B. Determine the average flame speed in mis if the design is for an in-line four-cylinder engine. [8 marks ]
