NAME OF EXPERIMENT: PREPARE A HEAT BALANCE SHEET BY CONDUCTING

PERFORMANCE TEST ONA SINGLE CYLINDER 4STROKE DIESEL ENGINE

OBJECT:
To draw up thermal energy distribution graph (heat balance) for the Cl engine by
performing load tests at the rated speed of the engine with Eddy current break
dynamometer.

APPARATUS WITH SPECIFICATION:

1. Single cylinder water cooled diesel engine.
Make.
RatedHorsepower:5 HP. 1500 rp.m.
Stroke: 110 mm.
2. Dynamometer arm length: 185 mm
3 Panel Board: Amp meter,Voltmeter and Switch fuse carrier.
4. Fuel measuringtank: Mounted on a sturdy iron stand, burette tube three way
cocks with connectingtube.
5. Air intake measurement.
6. Stopwatch.
THEORY:
The performance of an engine is generally given by heat balance sheet. To draw the
heat balance sheet for I.C. Engine, it is run at constant load. The quantity of fuel used in
agiven time and its calorific value, the amount, inlet and outlet temperature of cooling
water, the temperature of exhaust gases, etc. are recorded. After that the heat used in
difference section is calculated using the standard formulas which are given in the
calculation section.

Experimental Setup
 EXPERIMENTAL| PROCEDURE:
The following steps have been followed:
1 The level of the
diesel in tank is
through fuel measuring apparatus. checked and line up with the fuel pump
2. Theengine started by hand
3. The inlet cooling line is fully
cranking.
4 A light load is put in the
opened.
engine by inserting the load in electrical load box,
andsat the voltage 220 Vusing
5. After achieving steady state voltage varior.
condition, all the necessary data is noted down.
63-set of each data is noted for 3- different load.
7. First data is taken in
no-load condition.

OBSERVATIONS:
Given: C.V of fuel = 44MJ/kg
Generator efficiency=97%
Djameter of orifice meter= 0.020m
Coefficient of discharge= 0.65
Specific heat of exhaust gas: 2.1 KJ/kg K
Density of Fuel: 840 kg/m3
Density of air: 1.22 kg/m³
