ASSIGNMENT NO. 2 (DIESEL POWER PLANT AND COOLING SYSTEM) SET A 1.

. Plot the air standard Diesel cycle beginning with p1 = 1.02 kg/cm2, t1 = 32.2 C, v1 = 0.028 m3. Max. cycle temperature, 1927 C; r, 15. Scales: 1 cm = 3 kg/cm2 ; 1 cm = 0.002 m3. Find the work done per cycle, and I (ideal thermal efficiency). 2. A quality governed four-stroke, single cylinder gas engine has a bore of 146 mm and a stroke of 280 mm. At 475 r.p.m. and full load the net load on the friction brake is 433 N, and the torque arm is 0.45 m. The indicator diagram gives a net area of 578 mm2 and a length of 70 mm with a spring rating of 0.815 bar/mm. Calculate: (i) The indicated power (ii) Brake power (iii) Mechanical efficiency. 3. The following observations were recorded during a trial of a four-stroke engine with rope brake dynamometer: Engine speed = 650 r.p.m., Diameter of brake drum = 600 mm, Diameter of rope = 50 mm, Dead load on the brake drum = 32 kg, Spring balance reading = 4.75 kg. Calculate the brake power. 4. A diesel plant contains three 2500-kw units that generate the equivalent of full capacity for 2000 hr per yr each. Fuel oil will be delivered monthly, but the storage capacity of the tanks should be sufficient to provide for the plant if one delivery is missed. How many tanks and of what size would you recommend? 5. Cooling water for a 507 hp Diesel engine is pumped to a cooling tower at 60 C. It is desired to cool the water to a maximum temperature of 37.8 C under an atmosphere condition of 32.2 C dry bulb temperature, 27.8 C wet bulb temperature. Find required capacity and efficiency of the cooling tower.
