1. (a) What are the assumptions considered for air standard 5
cycles? Define compression ratio and mean effective
pressure in an air standard cycle.
(b) With the help of p-V and T-S diagrams, derive 10
expressions for air standard efficiency, net work done
and mean effective pressure for diesel cycle.
2. (a) Compare spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition 5
(CI) engines.
(b) With the help of p-V and T-S diagrams, derive 10
expressions for air standard cycle efficiency, net work
output and mean effective pressure for dual cycle.
3. (a) Two engines have to be operated on Otto and Diesel 10
cycles with the following data: Maximum temperature
1400 K, exhaust temperature 700 K. State of air at the
beginning of compression is 0.1 MPa, and 300 K.
Determine the compression ratios, the maximum
pressures, air standard efficiencies, work outputs and
mean effective pressures of the respective cycles.
(b) Compare two stroke and four stroke engines.
4.(a) An air standard limited pressure cycle has a 10
compression ratio of 15 and compression begins at 0.1
MPa, 40°C. The maximum pressure is limited to 6
MPa and the heat added is 1.675 MJ/kg. Calculate (a)
the heat supplied at constant volume per kg of air, (b)
the heat supplied at constant pressure per kg of air,
(c) the work done per kg of air, (d) the cycle
efficiency, (e) the temperature at the end of the
constant volume heating process, (f)
Marks the cut-off ratio, and (g) the mean effective of the
cycle.
(b) With the help of neat sketches explain the working of 5
a four stroke diesel engine.
5. (a) With the help of a neat sketch explain the working of 5
a simple carburettor
(b) (i)Why is electronic fuel injection necessary for 10
gasoline engines? (2 marks)
(ii)Discuss on different sensors used in electronic fuel
injection systems. (3 marks)
(iii)Write on LMPFI and DMPFI systems. (5 marks)
