A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16% of the cylinder volume at bottom dead center and the crankshaft rotates at 2400 RPM. The processes within each cylinder are modeled as an air-standard Otto cycle with a pressure of 14.5 lbf/in. 2 and a temperature of 60 8 F at the beginning of compression. The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 8 R. Based on this model,
1- Write possible Assumptions no less than three assumptions
2- Draw clear schematic for this problem
3- Determine possible Assumptions no less than three assumptions
4- Draw clear schematic for this problem.
5- calculate the net work per cycle, in Btu, and the power developed by the engine, in horsepower.

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The net work per cycle is 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in horsepower ≈ 45374 hP

Explanation:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The dimension of the cylinder bore diameter = 3.7 in. = 0.09398 m

Stroke length = 3.4 in. = 0.08636 m.

The volume of the cylinder v₁= 0.08636 ×(0.09398²)/4 = 5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume = 16% of cylinder volume = 0.16×5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume, v₂  = 9.59 × 10⁻⁵ m³

p₁ = 14.5 lbf/in.² = 99973.981 Pa

T₁ = 60 F = 288.706 K

Otto cycle T-S diagram

T₂ = 288.706* = 592.984 K

The maximum temperature = T₃ = 5200 R = 2888.89 K

T₄ = 2888.89 / = 1406.5 K

Work done, W = ×(T₃ - T₂) - ×(T₄ - T₁)

0.718×(2888.89  - 592.984) - 0.718×(1406.5 - 288.706) = 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in an Otto cycle = W×Cycle per second

= 845.88 × 2400 / 60  = 33,835.377 kW = 45373.99 ≈ 45374 hP.
