5 The following results were obtained on full load during trail on a two stroke oil engine:
Engine speed = 350 rpm, Net brake load = 600 N, mep = 2.75 bar, Oil consumption = 4.25 kg/h,
Temperature of air in test room = 20?C, Air used per kg of oil = 31.5 kg, Temperature of exhaust
gases = 390?C, Cylinder diameter = 220 mm, Stroke = 280 mm, Effective brake diameter = 1 meter,
Calorific value of oil = 45000 kJ/kg, Proportion of hydrogen in fuel oil = 15%, Partial pressure of steam in
exhaust gases = 0.04 bar, Mean specific heat of exhaust gases = 1 kJ/kgK, Specific heat of superheated
steam = 2.1 kJ/kgK, Specific heat of water = 4.186 kJ/kgK. Determine: (i) Indicated power. (ii) Brake
power. (iii) Mechanical efficiency. (iv) Draw the heat balance sheet for the test.
