Question 9Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passA four cylinder, four-stroke cycle, single acting diesel engine has a 740 mm bore and a 1500 mm stroke. What indicated power will be developed if the average mean effective pressure is 18 kg/cm2 at a speed of 90 RPM?
The correct answer is A) 3416 kW. To calculate the indicated power of a four-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine, we can use the formula: Indicated Power (kW) = (P_me * L * A * N) / (60 * 1000) Where: P_me = Mean Effective Pressure (kg/cm^2) L = Stroke (mm) A = Bore Area (mm^2) N = Engine Speed (RPM) Plugging in the given values: P_me = 18 kg/cm^2 L = 1500 mm Bore = 740 mm A = π * (740/2)^2 = 429,140 mm^2 N = 90 RPM Calculating the indicated power: Indicated Power = (18 * 1500 * 429,140 * 4 * 90) / (60 * 1000) = 3416 kW The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value of 3416 kW based on the given engine parameters.
