2. Measuring the performance of the engine at constant speed 3. Obtaining the bmep Vs bsfc, bmep Vs efficiency and bmep vs exhaust gas temperature curves for the engine 4. Drawing Willans line and obtaining friction power and mechanical efficiency Engine specifications Engine Type : Single cylinder Four stroke Diesel engine (Kirloskar), Bore : 0.0875m, Stroke : 0.11m Capacity : 661.5 cc, Power : 6 H.P. at 1500 rpm, Torque : 2.96 kg.m at 1500 rpm and Compression Ratio :17.5:1 Things to do 1. Study of the single cylinder diesel engine
a. Study the following components: Crank shaft, flywheel, piston and connecting rod; camshaft, push rods and valve system; diesel pump and injector; governing system; lubrication: oil sump and pump, oil paths; cooling system: water paths. b. Measure bore and stroke, and observe valve opening and closing when you rotate the crankshaft. c. How does the engine start? How does it stop? d. If you want to change engine speed, what would you do? e. Do you find any parts missing in the engine you studied? Are they there in the engine you did experiments on? What are the differences between these engines? 2. Measuring the performance at constant speed a. Study the instrumentation: Loading the engine: how is this done? How is the load measured? Speed: how is it measured? Exhaust temperature: how is it measured? Note: the question how is it measured should be answered in terms of what the measuring device is, what it measures, how it measures it, if there is any calibration constant, what it is, how you calibrate the device, etc. b. Start the engine. Run the engine at different loads from zero to maximum. At each load, measure the engine speed (this should be constant: how is this controlled?), fuel consumption rate, air consumption rate, exhaust gas temperature. c. From the data, compute the bmep, bsfc, thermal efficiency and plot curves ment\ioned in objective 3 above. d. Plot fuel flow rate Vs brake power and obtain the frictional power: Willans line method (what is this?). Using this calculate the indicated power and mechanical efficiency at the loads you measured engine data. Report Writing Your report should contain information pertaining to the items in things to do section above, with sections 1a, 1b, etc. Write your own reports, one for each subgroup, and be to the point.

Engine Type: Four cylinder Four stroke MPFI petrol engine (Maruti Zen), Bore: 0.072 m, Stroke: 0.061m Capacity: 993 cc, Power: 60 HP at 6000 rpm, Torque: 78.5 Nm at 4500 rpm and Compression Ratio: 9.4:1 Things to do 1. Study a multi-cylinder SI engine
a. Crank shaft, flywheel, connecting rods, pistons and their relative motions b. Camshaft(s) and valve mechanism c. Inlet and exhaust manifolds d. Fuel supply system e. Ignition system f. Cooling system and coolant passages g. Lubricating system and lubricant passages h. Other auxiliary systems: starter, alternator, ECU, etc. 2. Performance test at constant speed a. Study the instrumentation of the engine for measurement of fuel flow rate, airflow rate, load and speed. How do these instruments function? b. Start the engine and set the speed (how do you do this?). Measure fuel consumption rate, airflow rate, power and speed. Now vary the load, keeping the speed the same. (How is this done?) Measure the above quantities at each load. Plot the results in the form of bmep vs bsfc and bmep vs efficiency. Compute volumetric efficiency and air-fuel ratio at each data point. c. Now at the same speed perform Morse test on the engine (What is this test?) Using this test, obtain the frictional power and mechanical efficiency of the engine at various load conditions at the same speed.
