Question
The indicated power developed by an engine with compression ratio of 8, is calculated using an air-standard Otto cycle {constant properties). The rate of heat addition is 10 kW. The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume is 1.4. The mechanical efficiency of the engine is 80 percent. The brake power output of the engine is ________ kW (round off to one decimal place)
Answer :
Given: r = 8, Qsupplied = 10 kW, γ = 1.4, ηm = 0.8, B.P = ?
Efficiency of Otto cycle
Now,
Wnet = 0.5647×10 kN
∴ Wnet = 5.647 kN
Now,
∴ B.P. = 0.8 × 5.647 kW
∴ B.P = 4.517 kW
