Instructor’s Name: ____________________________________________________

Instruction: Solve the following problems. Write your solution on a clean short
bond paper/newsprint. Make sure to box all your final answer for each item. Write
your answer on the space provided. Strictly no erasures allowed.
______________________________ 1. During the dynamometer test of an engine for 1 hr steady load, the engine consumes 40
kg fuel having 43,300 KJ/kg heating value. If the torque developed is 2.5KN-m during the test at 600rpm, what is the
efficiency of the engine?

______________________________ 2. A 4-stroke gasoline engine has a bore and stroke of 400mm x 450mm runnig at 750rpm.
If the clearance volume is 0.0527 m3/s, calculate the engine efficiency.

______________________________ 3. A 3MW diesel engine consumes 240li of 25oAPI fuel and generates 900 KW-hr.
Determine the rate of fuel consumed by the engine.

______________________________ 4. A 20cm x 35cm diesel engine with 4 cylinders and operating on a four stroke, has a
rated power of 160kw and is running at 250 rpm. Find the volume displacement per brake power developed.

______________________________ 5. An engine has a power output of 8.5hp with 70% efficiency. What will be the kw/hp?
Registered to the meter?

______________________________ 6. A 2500KW diesel engine unit uses 1 bbl oil per 550kwh produced. Oil is 25oAPI.
Efficiency of generator 90%, mechanical efficiency of engine 83%. What is the thermal efficiency of engine based on
indicated power (%)?

______________________________ 7. A single acting four-cylinder 4 stroke cycle diesel engine with a bore x stroke of
22x28cm operating at 375rpm, consumes 9kg/hr of fuel whose heating value is 43,900 KJ/kg. The indicated mean
effective pressure is 500kpa. The load on the brake arm, which is 100cm, is 115 kg. What is the brake mean effective
pressure in kpa.

______________________________ 8. In a double acting, 2 stroke compression ignition engine, 12-cylinder, the diameter of
the cylinder is 750mm, stroke is 1450mm and the piston rod diameter is 240mm. When running at 120rpm, the
indicated mean effective pressure above and below the pistons are 6bar and 5 bar respectively. Calculate the brake
power of the engine with a mechanical efficiency of 80% in kilowatts.

______________________________ 9. Determine the output power of a diesel power plant if the engine and generator
efficiency is 80% and 96%, respectively. The engine uses 25oAPI fuel and has a fuel consumption of 0.08 kg/s.

______________________________ 10. A four-cylinder four stroke diesel engine with 20cm bore and 25cm stroke running at
1000rpm has a reading of 350kpa mean effective pressure in the indicator diagram. Calculate the indicated power
generated in KW.
