1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Petrol Engines In petrol engines the air-fuel ratio (AFR) is maintained at an approximately constant value of
14-16:1 by the carburetor or fuel injection system. The top temperature (T3) and the torque is
determined by the amount of air-fuel mixture admitted by the throttle. Hence petrol engines are
described as being quantity governed.

In petrol engines air and fuel are pre-mixed and ignited by an electric spark and the
combustion process proceeds as a flame front across the combustion chamber. If the design and
mixture is correct then there are no problems but if rc > 9 the mixture tends to explode prematurely.
Also, fuel will not ignite and burn except between air-fuel ratios of between 10 and 20 to 1. An air

concept has larger potential for energy saving and emission reduction on IC engine. Jianqin Fu, et al.
[20] have proposed an open steam power cycle used for IC engine exhaust gas energy recovery in
order to improve IC engine energy utilization efficiency. P. Raman and N.K. Ram [31], have studied
the performance of an internal combustion engine fueled with 100% producer gas was studied at
variable load conditions. The engine was coupled with a 75 kWe power generator. Producer gas
generated from a downdraft gasifier system was supplied to the engine. V. Pandiyarajan, et al. [21]
have evaluated and reported the performance parameters pertaining to the heat exchanger and the
storage tank such as amount of heat recovered, heat lost, charging rate, charging efficiency and
percentage energy saved. The exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine carries away about
30% of the heat of combustion. The energy available in the exit stream of many energy conversion
devices goes as waste, if not utilized properly. Zbyszko Kazimierski and Jerzy Wojewoda [23] have
presented an old idea of how to increase the internal combustion (IC) piston engine. Such an engine
has a 2-side action piston, which divides a single cylinder into two working parts. In these parts there
are two usual 4-stroke engines which constitute one double IC engine, equipped with a slider-crank
mechanism. The new engine may use bio-fuels as well. D. Descieux and M. Feidt [24] have
proposed a generic methodology to simulate the static response of an IC engine and show the
influence of several engine parameters on the power and efficiency. Moreover it puts in evidence the
existence of two optimal engine speeds one relative to maximum power and the second to maximum
efficiency. The thermodynamic performance of an air standard diesel engine with heat transfer and
friction term losses is analyzed. Z.G. Sun et al. [25] have presented Energetic efficiency evaluation
of the combined system of cold and heat, where primary energy rate (PER) and comparative primary
energy saving are used. A combined system intended to be an alternative to provide cold and heat for
buildings was set up. Comparison of energetic efficiency of the combined prototype system with
contemporary conventional separate systems of cold and heat shows that energy utilization efficient
is improved greatly, and there is a large potential for energy saving by the combined system of cold
and heat. G. De Nicolao et al. [27] have examined the benefits and limitations of black-box
approaches and compared. The problem considered here can be viewed as a realistic benchmark for
different estimation techniques. The volumetric efficiency (ηv) represents a measure of the
effectiveness of an air pumping system, and is one of the most commonly used parameters in the
characterization and control of four-stroke internal combustion engines.
2. ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
2.1 Necessity for cooling In an internal combustion engine, the fuel is burned within the engine cylinder. During
combustion, high temperatures are reached within the cylinder, for example in a compression
ignition engine as high as 2000-25000C is reached. About one third of the heat energy liberated b the
burning fuel is converted into power. Another one third goes out through the exhaust pipe unused.
The remaining one third flows into the various components of the engine, namely, cylinder, cylinder
head, valves, spark plug (in SI engines), fuel injector (in CI engines) and pistons. This heat flow
takes place during combustion and expansion processes.
2.2 Optimum cooling To avoid overheating, and the consequent ill effects mentioned above, the heat transferred to
an engine component (after a certain level) must be removed as quickly as possible and be conveyed
to the atmosphere. It will be proper to say the cooling system as a temperature regulation system. It
should be remembered that abstraction of heat from the working medium by way of cooling the
engine components is a direct thermodynamic loss.

2.3 Thermosyphon cooling system
When a vessel of cold water is heated, the hot water will tend to rise (by virtue of its lower
density) and its place will be taken over by cold water. This causes a definite circulation within the
water mass from top to bottom and vice versa. This is called natural convection.
Figure 4: Water Cooling System of a 4-cylinder Engine
The thermosyphon circulation cooling system is shown in fig. 4 works on this principle. In
the thermo-syphon circulation cooling system, when the engine is cold the whole water is at the same
temperature and is at rest. When the engine is operating, the water around the cylinder heads and
cylinder walls gets heated and flow up to the top header tank of the radiator. Now the cold water
from the lower part of the radiator flows and fills the coolant spaces in the cylinder head and the
cylinder block. The hot water flows downward through the radiator tubes.
This water is cooled by the stream that flows past the tubes. Air is sucked by the fan which is driven
by the engine crankshaft. In this system, the water circulation through the cylinder, cylinder head and
the radiator is by natural means. For success in operation, the passages through the jackets and
radiator should be free and the connecting pipes large. Further the jackets should be placed as low as
possible relatively to the radiator, in order that the hot leg shall have as great a height as possible.
During operation the water level must on no account be allowed to fall below the level of the
delivery pipe to the radiator top. If this happens, water circulation will cease. In general the thermo-
syphon system requires a larger radiator and carries a greater body of water than the pump
circulation system. Further, a somewhat excessive temperature difference is necessary to produce the
requisite circulation. On the other hand, to some extent it automatically prevents the engine being run
too cold. The thermo-syphon circulation cooling system is simpler in construction and operation.
This system is used in some motor cars.

2.4 Heat Transfer
The methods adopted for the calculation of quantity of water or air required for the cooling of
the rated engine will be calculated on the basis of the basic equations used ion heat transfer.
Conduction, Convection and Radiation are three modes of heat transfer in this case also.
Q = h� A �T� � T�� (1)
Q = Quantity of convective heat transfer
ha = Coefficient of convective heat transfer
A = Area of surface
�T� � T�� = temperature difference between the fluid and the surface
Coefficient of heat transfer h� �� ��
(2)
The coefficient of convective heat transfer also known as film heat transfer coefficient and
defined as the amount of heat transmitted for a unit temperature difference between the fluid and the
unit area of the surface in unit time. The value of ha depends on the types of fluid, their velocities and
temperatures, dimension of the pipe and the types of problem. Since ha depends upon several factors,
it is difficult to frame a single equation to satisfy all the variation, however a dimensional analysis
gives an equation for the purpose which is given under:

The dual cycle approximates to the processes within a modern high speed diesel engine. In
petrol engines, and large slow speed (< 500 RPM) diesels, the pressure rise because of combustion is
comparatively rapid (relative to piston speed) and the cycle can be reasonably approximated by the
constant volume or OTTO cycle.
3.13 Engine Performance
The basic performance parameters of internal combustion engine (I.C.E) may be summarized
as follows:
Indicated power (IP): IP power could be estimated by performing a Morse test on the engine.
IP = PmLAN
where N is the number of machine cycles per unit times, which is 1/2 the rotational speed for a four-
stroke engine, and the rotational speed for a two- stroke engine.

76
Brake power (BP)
The break power is given by:
BP �πh�i] kW
where T is the torque
Friction power (FP) and Mechanical efficiency (��)
The difference between the IP and the BP is the friction power FP and is that power required
to overcome the frictional resistance of the engine parts,
FP = IP – BP
The mechanical efficiency of the engine is defined as
η\ CElE
η\ is usually between 80% and 90%
Indicated mean effective pressure (imep)
It is a hypothetical pressure which if acting on the engine piston during the working stroke
would results in the indicated work of the engine. This means it is the height of a rectangle having
the same length and area as the cycle plotted on a p- v diagram.
imep (Pi) =(Net area of the indicator diagram/Swept volume) ⨉ Indicator scale
Consider one engine cylinder:
Work done per cycle = Pi AL
where A = area of piston; L = length of stroke
Work done per min = work done per cycle X active cycles per min.
IP = Pi AL⨉ active cycles/ min
To obtain the total power of the engine this should be multiplied by the number of cylinder
(n), i.e.:
Total IP = Pi AL Nn/2 for four- stroke engine and
= PiALNn for Two- stroke engine

Brake mean effective pressure (bmep) and brake thermal efficiency
The bmep (Pb) may be thought of as that mean effective pressure acting on the pistons which
would give the measured BP, i.e.
BP = Pb AL ⨉ active cycles/ min
The overall efficiency of the engine is given by the brake thermal efficiency, ηC� i.e.
ηC� C!��� 4�@�!vZ�!�� s�44�^��
ηC� CE\�Bbcd
where m� is the mass of fuel consumed per unit time, and QZ�G is the lower calorific value of the fuel.
Specific fuel consumption (sfc)
It is the mass of fuel consumed per unit power output per hour, and is a criterion of economic
power production.
sfc \�C.E. Kg/kWh
Low values of sfc are obviously desired. Typical best values of bsfc for SI engines are about
270g/kWh, and for C.I. engines are about 200g/kWh.
Indicated thermal efficiency (ηl�)
It is defined in a similar way to ηC�
ηl� lE\�Bbcd
η\ CElE
Volumetric efficiency (ηU�
Volumetric efficiency is only used with four- stroke cycle engines. It is defined as the ratio of
the volume if air induced, measured at the free air conditions, to the swept volume of the cylinder:
ηU U′U�
where air volume v′ may be refereed to N.T.P. to give a standard comparison.

CONCLUSION
On increasing the maximum temperature of the cylinder, the indicated power increase for a
given engine. On increasing the number of cylinders it increases. For 6 cylinder engine it is more
compared to 2 or 3 cylinder engine.
Mass of cooling water required is decreases with increasing the compression ratio. On
increasing the number of cylinders for a given engine, mass of cooling water required also increases.
Indicated power increases on increasing the shaft speed for a given engine. Power developed in 2
strokes and 2 cylinders is more than the power developed in 4 stroke and 2 cylinders engine with
other parameters same. Mechanical efficiency decreases on increasing the compression ratio. At low
compression ratio it decreases more rapidly but on higher values of compression ratio it is almost
constant.
