Question Paper

What are the different kinds of fuels used in an I.C. engine? What are the important properties which an S.I. engine fuel possesses?

What are the essential requirements to be fulfilled by a fuel injection system for C.I. engines? What is the most common injection system used in multi-cylinder diesel engines?

Distinguish clearly between 'Octane Number' and 'Cetane Number'. What is their significance in rating of fuels for S.I. and C.I. engines?

State the relative advantages and disadvantages of battery and magneto-ignition systems.

Explain briefly the combustion phenomenon in S.I. engines. What do you mean by pre-ignition How can it be detected?

What is the difference between Higher Heating Value and Lower Heating Value of the fuel?

Explain the phenomenon of knocking in S.I. engines. What are the different factors which influence the knocking? Describe the methods used to suppress it.

What do you mean by stoichiometric air-fuel ratio Calculate the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of natural gas (CH4).

What are the main functions of nozzle? Explain anyone type of nozzle with a neat diagram.

"While volatility of the fuel is a determining factor in the selection of fuels for S.I. engines, ignition quality of the fuel is the primary deciding factor for C.I. engines." Discuss the statement briefly.

Calculate the amount of theoretical air required for the combustion of 1 kg of acetylene (C2H2) to CO2 and H20.

A four-cylinder, four-stroke petrol engine of cylinder bore and stroke each equal to 77 mm has a compression ratio of 8·5 1. The relative efficiency is 50% when s.f.c. on IP is 0·28 k.g/kWh.

Determine:

The C.V. of the petrol in MJ/kg

The petrol consumption in kg/hr

Given that the i.m.e.p. is 950 kPa when the engine speed is 3000 rpm. Take y for air 1·4.
