Question:

The following readings were taken during the test of four-stroke single cylinder petrol engine:

Load on brake drum \(=50 \mathrm{~kg}\);

Diameter of brake drum \(=1,250 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Spring balance reading \(=7 \mathrm{~kg}\);

Engine speed \(=450 \mathrm{rpm}\)


Fuel consumption \(=4 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{hr}\); Calorific value of fuel \(=43,000 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}\)
Calculate: (i) indicated thermal efficiency, and (ii) brake thermal efficiency. Assume mechanical efficiency as \(70 \%\).
