A full load test on a two-stroke engine yielded the following results:
speed 440 rpm; brake load 50 kg; imep 3 bar; fuel consumpt ion 5.4
kg /h; rise in jacket water temperat ure 36 °C; jacket water flow 440
kg /h; air-fuel ratio by mass 30; temper ature of exhaust gaa 350 °C;
temperature of the test room 17 °C; baromet ric pressure 76 cm of Hg
cylinder diameter 22 cm; stroke 25 cm; brake diameter 1.2 m; calorific
value of fuel is 43 M.J /kg; propor tion of hydrogen by maas in the fuel
15%; R
1 kJ /kg K; specific heat of dry steam 2 k.J/kg K. Assume enthalpy of
super heated steam to be 3180 kl/kg. Determine,
0.287 k.J/kg of mean specific heat of dry exhaust gases =
%3D
