ATM/BAE-455/450 Agricultural Machinery Systems (Due March 21 in class) Homework Set 3: IC Engines
1. A 9-liter 4-stroke engine produces 200 kW at 2100 rpm. At that condition, calculate torque, in N-m.
2. A 9-liter 4-stroke engine produces 200 kW at 2100 rpm. At that condition, calculate BMEP, in bars.
3. An engine has a brake specific fuel consumption of 220 g/kWh at 2100 rpm and 150 kW. Assume the fuel has a lower heating value of 42 MJ/kg and a density of 0.85 g/cm³. Calculate fuel flow in L/hour.
4. An engine has a brake specific fuel consumption of 220 g/kWh at 2100 rpm and 150 kW. Assume the fuel has a lower heating value of 42 MJ/kg and a density of 0.85 g/cm³. Calculate brake thermal efficiency, in %.
5. Based on the performance map shown below, what is the approximate engine rpm when the engine produces 20 kW at its most efficient point?
6. Based on the performance map shown below, what is the approximate engine rpm when the engine produces 20 kW at its least efficient point?
