Question

Two units four-stroke, 6-cylinder diesel engine is running at a speed of 1200 rpm is used to supply power to a free port zone. The fuel oil used has 26 ˚API with a temperature of 85 ˚F. Other engine data are as follows:

Generator efficiency = 95%

Mechanical efficiency = 87%

Overall thermal efficiency = 65%

Expansion ratio = 2.6

Cut-off ratio = 5

Volume at the end of combustion = 2.1 ft3

Mean effective pressure = 120 psi

For continuous operation, how many days a fuel storage tank size 30 feet long and 20 feet diameter be consumed if the tank is initially full?
