  1. The stroke and bore of a four stroke spark ignition engine are 250 mm and 200 mm respectively. The clearance volume is 0.001 m3. If the specific heat ratio γ = 1.4, the air-standard cycle efficiency of the engine is
    1. 46.40%
    2. 56.10%
    3. 58.20%
    4. 62.80%
Correct Option: C

Here, VC = .001 m3

Vs
π
d2l =

(0.2)2 × (0.25)
44

∴ Compression ratio, r = 1 +
Vs
= 0.85
Vc

∴ η = 1 -

= 58.20%
rγ - 1

∴ η = 1 -

= 58.20%
(0.85)0.4
