Question: Q 5 . The following data relates to a four - stroke CI engine operating at the sea level conditions of 1 . 0 1

Q5. The following data relates to a four-stroke CI engine operating at the sea level conditions of 1.013 bar and 10C:bp=275kW, speed =1800rpm, air ?? fuel ratio =20:1,bsfc=0.24kgkWh, Vol_Effy =80%. The engine is fitted with a mechanical supercharger so that it may be operated at an altitude where the atmospheric pressure is 0.75 bar. The power consumed by the supercharger is 9% of the total power produced by the engine, and the temperature of the air leaving the supercharger is 30 degC. Assume that the air/fuel ratio and the volumetric efficiency remain the same. Calculate the following: (a) Engine capacity and bmep of the unsupercharged engine. (b) Increase in air pressure required in the supercharger to maintain the same net output of 275 kW .
(Ans: (a) Vd,e =0.024495m3, bmep =7.48 bar, (b)0.442 bar)
