I C Engines Chapter - 10 - Supercharging Part

The document is a chapter about supercharging from a book on internal combustion engines by Dr. Arkan Fawzi Said. It contains three examples of calculations related to supercharging diesel and gasoline engines. The first example calculates the increase in pressure needed at a supercharger to maintain power output of a diesel engine operating at high altitude. The second example determines the indicated mean effective pressure, air consumption, and air flow into an air compressor driven by a four-stroke oil engine with a supercharger. The third example calculates the amount of aftercooling needed and engine power lost to run the supercharger for a six-cylinder supercharged engine operating at 3500 rpm.

supercharging

Dr. Arkan F. Saeed 2


Example (1): A 4-stroke diesel engine is to be designed to operate with the following characteristics at sea
level, where the ambient conditions are 103 kPa and 10oC. b.p=260 kW, s.f.c=0.244 kg/kW.h, Speed = 1500
rpm, volumetric efficiency = 0.78, A/F ratio = 17:1. Calculate the required engine capacity and the anticipated
bmep.
The engine is fitted with a supercharger so that it may be operated at an altitude of 2700 m where the
atmospheric pressure is 73 kPa. The power taken by the supercharger is 8% of the total power produced by
the engine and the temperature of the air leaving the supercharger is 32 oC. The A/F ratio and thermal
efficiency remain the same, so as the ηv . Calculate the increase of pressure at the supercharger to maintain
the same net power output. Take R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K.

Example (2): Four – stroke oil engine is used to drive an air compressor, the air enters the compressor at 20oC
and is delivered to a cooler which removes heat at the rate of 1340 kJ/min. The air leaves the cooler at 60 o C and
1.75 bars. Part of this air flow is used to supercharge the engine which has a volumetric efficiency of 0.7 based on
induction conditions of 60oC and 1.75 bars. The engine which has six cylinders of 90 mm bore and 100 mm stroke
runs at 2000 rpm and delivers an output torque of 150 Nm. The mechanical efficiency of the engine is 0.75.
Determine:
1- The engine indicated mean effective pressure.
2- The air consumption in kg/min.
3- The air flow into the compressor in kg/min.

Example (3): Six-cylinder, 4.8 litre supercharged engine operating at 3500 rpm has an overall volumetric
efficiency of 158%. The supercharger has an isentropic efficiency of 92% and mechanical efficiency 87%. It is
desired that air to be delivered to the cylinder at 65o C and 180 kPa, while ambient conditions are 23oC and 98
kPa. Calculate: (a) Amount of after cooling needed. (b) Engine power lost to run the supercharger ?
