a single-acting air cylinder with a 2 1/2-in-diameter piston and 12-in stroke operates at 100 psig and reciprocates at 30 cycles per min. Compute the air consumption in scfm of air.
The answer should come out to being 7.96 scfm- need help getting here.

2. A 4.8 L, SI, four-stroke, V-8 stationary engine operates at 2000 RPM using gasoline with air/fuel ratio of 14.7. The engine has a volumetric efficiency of 90%, with a bore (B) and stroke (S) related as B:S=1.1:1. You can assume the density of fresh air is 1.16 kg/mº. Please calculate: (30 Points) a) Displacement of each cylinder, and length of stroke; b) Average velocity of piston; (This is a very simple question. You need find the distance piston moved...
Problem 1 (65 pts): The cylinder of a Diesel engine is initially filled with air at 100 kPa and 298 K (piston is at BDC). The air is then compressed isentropically with a compression ratio of 20. Fuel, n-dodecane, is then introduced and combusted with the air, which produces work output (i.e. pushes the piston back to BDC). At the end of the power stroke, the temperature of the combustion products is 1020 K. The amount of heat lost to...
A gasoline engine of 6 cylinders operates on the four-stroke cycle. The bore of each cylinder is 80 mm and the stroke is 100 mm.

Please answer all PROBLEM 1 A three-litre four-stroke diesel engine develops 12 kW per m3 of free air inducted per minute. The volumetric efficiency is 82 % at 3600 rpm referred to atmospheric condition of 1 bar and 27 oC. A rotary compressor which is mechanically coupled to the engine is used to supercharge the engine. The pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor are 1.6 and 75 % respectively. Calculate the percentage increase in brake power due...
Q5. An efficiency consultant is studying the power stroke of a
four-stroke engine and determines the following:
As the piston is forced down, the mixture of combustion
products and air undergoes an adiabatic expansion.
The engine is running at 3,100 cycles/min.
The gauge pressure immediately before the expansion is 25.0
atm.
The volumes of the mixture immediately before and after the
expansion are 50.0 cm3 and 400 cm3,
respectively (figure below).
The time interval for the expansion is one-fourth the...
(20%) Q2. A piston-cylinder assembly initially has 100 kPa pressure and 2 liters of air at 25°C. The air is then compressed to 600 kPa pressure and 150°C temperature. Useful work input for compression is 1.2 kJ. Assuming that the ambient pressure and temperature are 100 kPa and 25°C respectively, calculate a) the exergy of the air in the first and last states, b) the minimum work required for the compression process, c) the second law efficiency of the state...
Consider the pneumatic cylinder as shown in Figure 1 which is an illustration from the Starcyl space-saver range, as can be found in their Star2.pdf catalogue, www.starcyl.com. Some pneumatic cylinders can have a push/pull rod (item I in Figure 1) protruding from either head (item A in Figure 1), but this cylinder clearly has only one, making it a “single rod end” type of cylinder. This cylinder is however “double acting”, which means it can be pressurised on either side...
