Exergy analysis of a spark ignition engine for different crankshaft speeds
Abstract
In
this study, a spark ignition (SI) engine performance is exergetically
investigated for different crankshaft speeds. The test engine is VSG413 SI type
engine fueled with 95 octane gasoline. The test engine has 1.3 l volume, four
stroke, four cylinder, 45 kW maximum power capacity and 98 Nm maximum torque
capacity. The experiments are realized under fully loaded test conditions. The
crankshaft speed is changed between 1200 rpm and 5000 rpm. In the calculations,
actual operating data obtained by experiments are used. It is found that
maximum energy and exergy efficiencies are obtained at crankshaft speed of 2500
rpm, which are 29.78% and 27.77%, respectively. Entropy generation rate
increases with increase in crankshaft speed and ranged from 0.059 kW/K to 0.253
kW/K for all study.
