Question

A 4-stroke Diesel engine with a displacement of Vd = 2.5x10^-3m^3 produces a mean effective pressure of 6.4 bar at the speed of 2000 rpm. Calculate the power developed by the engine at this operating condition.

Answer 1

The power developed by engine is 167.55 KW

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

`V_d=2.5* 10^(-3) m^3`

Mean effective pressure = 6.4 bar

Speed = 2000 rpm

We know that power is the work done per second.

So

`P=6.4* 100* 2.5* 10^(-3)* (2\pi *2000)/(120)`

We have to notice one point that we divide by 120 instead of 60, because it is a 4 cylinder engine.

P=167.55 KW

So the power developed by engine is 167.55 KW
