A REVIEW PAPER ON DESIGN, FABRICATION & TRIAL ON MULTI CYLINDER PETROL ENGINE TEST RIG

Abstract

The basic task of the development engineer is to reduce the cost and improve power output and reliability of the engine. Trying to achieve these goals there is various design concepts to find the effects on engine performance of a particular design concept to resorts to testing. Thus, in general, developments of engine will have to conduct a wide variety of engine tests. Engine performance is an indication of the degree of success with which it is doing its assigned job. These performance characteristics can be verified by using a different Testing Methods. In this research to designed & fabricated multi cylinder petrol engine test rig for demonstration purpose as well as an experimental setup to carry out various performance characteristics trials on the same. The aim of this project is to study the performance characteristics of a four stroke four cylinder spark ignition petrol engine. Here set of demonstrated break power, break specific fuel consumption, Break thermal efficiency, mechanical efficiency and heat balance at various load conditions. Generally the Morse Test and Heat Balance can be performed on the multi-cylinder engine by running the engine at required speed and different parameters can be measured by using different measurement systems.
