2.) A six cylinder, four stroke diesel engine with 76 mm bore x 89 mm stroke
was run in the laboratory at 2000 rpm, when it was found that the engine
torque was 153.5 N-m with all cylinder firing but 123N-m with one cylinder
was out .the engine consumed 12.2 kg of fuel per hours with the heating
value of 54120 kJ/kg and 252.2 kg of air at 15.6 C per hour. Determine
the indicated power.
