Question: What would be the ideal power produced in Example 6.1 if the engines total displacement was 8000. cm 3 and it was running at 3000.

What would be the ideal power produced in Example 6.1 if the engine’s total displacement was 8000. cm3 and it was running at 3000. RPM?


Example 6.1

A new four-cylinder Otto cycle engine has a total displacement of 5000. cm3 and a compression ratio of 9.00. Its fuel has a heating value of 45,500 kJ/kg and it has a mass air-to-fuel ratio of 15.0. During a test, the actual power delivered by the engine was 65. kW at 4000. RPM. The air density at the engine was 1.10 kg/m3. Determine (1) the engine’s Otto cycle efficiency, (2) the engine’s ideal power, and (3) its mechanical efficiency.

Need: (1) ηOtto, (2) ideal power produced, and (3) ηMech for this engine.

Know–How: Equations (6.1), (6.2), and (6.3) give the desired results.
