For years, an engine company has designed direct-injection (i. e., no pre-chamber), high-compression ratio, turbocharged Diesel engines that operate with one fuel injection per cycle. Due to new advances in controls and injection technology, the company proposes a new Diesel engine incorporating a swirl pre-chamber and two fuel injections per cycle. The first (so called pilot) injection delivers a small of diesel fuel ahead of the main fuel injection. Assuming that at any given operating condition the total amount of fuel injected per cycle is the same for both engine designs and that the injection timing is optimized in both cases, answer the following questions:

1. Will the amount of heat released in the premixed combustion phase increase, decrease, or remain the same for the new engine, compared to the old design, as a result of the proposed modification(s)? Explain.

2. Will the new engine be easier or more difficult to start in cold weather as a result of the proposed modification(s)? Explain.

3. Will the probability of knock increase, decrease, or remain the same as a result of the proposed modification(s)? Explain.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.

An air-conditioning system consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. air enters the heating section at 10°c and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30m^3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20°c and 60 percent relatively humidity. if the air conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 98 kpa, determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler
