Question: A six - cylinder 4 - stroke cycle petrol engine is to be designed to develop 3 2 0 kW of ( b . p

A six-cylinder 4-stroke cycle petrol engine is to be designed to develop 320 kW of (b.p) at 2600 rpm, the bore / stroke ratio is to be 1:1.3. Assuming the mechanical efficiency is (90%) and an indicated mean effective pressure of 10 bar, determine (a) The required bore and stroke. If the compression ratio of the engine is to be (7:1) determine (b) The consumption of petrol in kg/h and in kg/bp.hr. Take the ratio of the indicated thermal efficiency of the engine to that of the constant volume air standard cycle as 0.6 and the calorific value of the petrol as: 44770kJ/kg.
