Problem 2.2 A four-cylinder, four stroke petrol engine is to develop 40 kW at 40 rev/s, when it is designed for a volumetric compression ratio of 10.0 to 1. The ambient air conditions are 1 bar and 18°C, and the calorific value of the fuel is 44 MJ/kg. If the indicated overall efficiency is 50% of the corresponding air-standard Otto cycle, and the mechanical efficiency is 90%, then the specific fuel consumption. g/MJ of brake work. The specific heat capacity ratio for air is 1.4. (Correct upto one decimal place).
