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 \(70 \%\).
