A power generator with two-cylinder, four-stroke gas engine has a bore of 480 mm and a stroke of 585 mm. At 300 rev/min the torque developed is 10 kNm. The generator is supplied with a mixture of gas and air in the proportion of 1 to 8 by volume. The estimated volumetric efficiency is 80% and the net calorific values of the fuel is 48.6 MJ/m3 . Calculate: 1. the swept volume in m3/min,  2. the volume of mixture induced in m3/min  3. the gas flow to engine m3/min

Question

A power generator with two-cylinder, four-stroke gas engine has a bore of
480 mm and a stroke of 585 mm. At 300 rev/min the torque developed is
10 kNm. The generator is supplied with a mixture of gas and air in the
proportion of 1 to 8 by volume. The estimated volumetric efficiency is 80% and the net calorific values of the fuel is 48.6 MJ/m3
. Calculate:

1. the swept volume in m3/min,

 2. the volume of mixture induced in m3/min
 3. the gas flow to engine m3/min
4.  the energy supplied by gas
5.  the brake thermal efficiency
