TOTAL MARKS: 100
TOTAL TIME: 3 HOURS (1) Question 1 is compulsory.
(2) Attempt any four from the remaining questions.
(3) Assume data wherever required.
(4) Figures to the right indicate full marks. 1 (a) Calculate the percentage change in efficiency of air standard Otto cycle having a compression ratio of 7 for the following cases:
(1) The specific heat at constant volume increase by 2%
(2) The specific heat at constant pressure increased by 2%(7 marks) 1 (b) A six cylinder four stroke diesel engine has a power output of 280 kW at 1500 rpm. The fuel consumption is 0.24 kg/kWh. The pressure in the cylinder at the beginning of injection is 40 bar and maximum cylinder pressure is 70 bar. The injection is expected at 200 bar and maximum pressure at the injector is set to be about 600 bar. Determine the orifice area required per injector if the injection takes place over 15° crank angles. Take the effective pressure difference to be the average pressure difference over the injection period. Assume the coefficient of discharge for the injector 0.8, specific gravity of fuel 0.86 and the atmospheric pressure 1.013 bar.(7 marks) 2 (a) Explain with neat sketch valve timing diagram for Diesel engine.
