Otto Cycle: Find Compression Ratio?
Fuel supplied to an SI engine has a calorific value 42000 kJ/kg. The pressure in the cylinder at 30% and 70% of the compression stroke are 1.3 bar and 2.6 bar respectively.Assuming that the compression follows the law pV^1.3 = constant .Find the compression ratio.
1 AnswerEngineering8 years agoInternal Combustion Engines?
A four cylinder SI engine running at 1200 rpm gives 18.87kW as brake power.When one cylinder missed firing the average torque was 100 Nm. Calculate the indicated thermal efficiency if the CV of fuel is 42 MJ/kg.The engine uses 0.335 kg of fuel per kW/h.What is mechanical efficiency?
1 AnswerEngineering8 years agoFunctions of a complex variable : Can v = e^(y/x)?
Is there an analytic function f(z) = u +iv for which v = e^(y/x)?
Please explain your answers in detail
1 AnswerMathematics9 years agoFunctions of a complex variable : If f(z) is a regular function of z such that f'(z) is != 0,prove that :?
(∂^2/∂x^2 + ∂^2/∂y^2).log |f ' (z) | = 0
Hint :
z = x + iy
f(z) = u + iv
f ' (z) = ∂u/∂x + i∂v/∂x
and
∂u/∂x = ∂v/∂y
∂v/∂x = - ∂u/∂y
∂^2u/∂x^2 + ∂^2u/∂y^2 = 0
∂^2v/∂x^2 + ∂^2v/∂y^2 = 0
