PART ‏تا‎

Answer any three questions. Each question carries 10 marks
Define dissociation. Discuss the effect of dissociation on power developed by an
Otto cycle with neat sketches.
Discuss the purpose of supercharging with a neat schematic of a supercharged
engine.
Define: (i) Brake power, (ii)Indicated power, (iii) Specific fuel consumption
(iv)Volumetric efficiency and (v) Calorific value
Discuss the effect of dopes and additives on performance of IC engines.
Explain the working of a Stirling engine with the support of thermodynamic cycle
on p-v diagram.
With a neat sketch, explain the method of flue gas analysis using an Orsat
apparatus.
The compression ratio of an engine working on Otto cycle is 6 and A:F ratio of
the mixture is 15. The Calorific value of the fuel used is 44 MJ/kg. The pressure
and temperature of the mixture at the beginning of compression are | bar and
60°C. Determine the maximum pressure in the cylinder if the compression follows
the law ற 171:32 = Constant. Specific heat value is given by,
டி = 0.71 + (0.0002 *7) kJ/kg K, where T is in K.
