Topics Covered: 1) Air standard cycles 2) fuel Air cycles 3) actual cycles 4) Fuels
 1. Explain by means of suitable graphs the effect of dissociation on maximum
    temperature and brake power. How does the presence of CO affect dissociation?
 2. Discuss the effect of spark advance on the performance of an Otto cycle engine.
    What is meant by the optimum spark advance?
 3. A [2.9 +(0.005 * Roll No)] litre cubic capacity, six-cylinder, four-stroke Otto engine has
    a compression ratio of [11 +(0.02 * Roll No)]. The engine develops [145 +(0.3 * Roll
    No)] kW at 5500 rpm. Calculate (i) air-standard efficiency; (ii) the necessary rate of
    heat addition; (iii) the mean effective pressure of the cycle; (iv) the peak temperature
    and pressure of the cycle.
 4. Discuss the significance of distillation curves.
 5 The pressure and temperature of a Diesel cycle at the start are [1.1 +(0.003 * Roll No)]
    bar and = [22 +(0.04 * Roll No)] OC respectively and the compression ratio is [13 +(0.02
    * Roll No)]. The pressure at the end of expansion is [2.8 +(0.003 * Roll No)] bar. Find
    the percentage of working stroke at which heat is supplied and heat supplied per kg of
    air. Assume γ = 1.4 and Cp = 1.004 kJ/kg K.
 6. Define volumetric efficiency and discuss the effect of various factors affecting the
    volumetric efficiency.
 7 A compression-ignition engine works on dual combustion cycle. The pressure and
    temperature at the beginning of compression are [1.1 +(0.003 * Roll No)] bar and =
    [28 +(0.04 * Roll No)] OC respectively and the pressure at the end of compression is
    [30 +(0.003 * Roll No)] bar. If [450 +(2 *Roll No)] kJ of heat is supplied per kg of air
    during constant volume heating and the pressure at the end of adiabatic expansion is
    found to be [3.5 +(0.003 * Roll No)] bar, find the ideal thermal efficiency. Assume Cp
    = 1.004 kJ/kg K and Cv = 0.717 kJ/kg K.
 8 The initial parameters (at the beginning of compression) of the cycle of an internal
    combustion engine with isobaric heat supply are [0.11 +(0.0003 * Roll No)] MPa and
    [85 +(0.04 * Roll No)] OC . The compression ratio is [17 +(0.02 * Roll No)] and the heat
    supplied is [880 +(2 *Roll No)] kJ/kg. Calculate the parameters at the characteristic
    points of the cycle and the thermal efficiency, if the working fluid is air.
 9 Find the percentage change in efficiency of a dual cycle having compression ratio = [17
    +(0.06 * Roll No)] and cut-off ratio of [11 % +(0.02 * Roll No) %] of swept volume and
    if Cv increases by [2.5 % +(0.002 * Roll No) %] . Given T3/T2 = [1.8 +(0.006 * Roll No)]
 10 What will be the effect on the efficiency of a diesel cycle having a compression ratio of
    [22 +(0.02 * Roll No)] and a cut-off ratio is [6 % +(0.02 * Roll No) %] of the swept
    volume, if the Cv increases by [1.5 % +(0.002 * Roll No) %] . Take Cv = 0.717 and R =
    0.287 kJ/kg K.
 11 Compare Otto, Diesel and Dual cycles for the
    (i) same compression ratio and heat input
    (ii) same maximum pressure and heat input
    (iii) same maximum pressure and temperature
    (iv) same maximum pressure and work output
