available which could be utilized for the purpose of
turbocharging.
2. Explain the concept of turbocharging of an IC engine
with the help of a neat diagram.

firing order 1-6-2-4-8-3-7-5. Duration of EV opening
period=2600.Determine the exhaust pipe arrangement
for the most economic and efficient operation.
4. A four stroke, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine has
firing order of 1-3-4-2. Duration of EV opening period for
each cylinder is 2400. Draw a graph to show the exhaust
manifold pressure variation with respect to crank angle.
Show clearly on the graph the scavenging period during
valve overlap and, the connecting of various exhaust
pipes.

bar, 293 K. The compressor map and the turbine
characteristic (marked A) are shown in the figure and a
waste gate is fitted to limit the boost pressure to 2.4 bar.
Indicated thermal efficiency of the engine is 0.44, Heat
loss to radiation and to coolant = 22% of fuel energy.
