Answer to Question #98189 in Mechanical Engineering for Reem Adel

Question

The displacement of the GX160 engine cylinder is 160 cm^3. Assuming the engine is running at a constant speed of 1200 rpm (revolutions per minute), and that the choke and throttle valve are fully open, what would the intake air flow rate into the engine cylinder be, in l/min (litres per minute) [Hint: The engine speed is the crankshaft rotation speed. Think about the 4-stroke cycle and crankshaft/camshaft sprocket diameter ratio]?

Answer 1

V=160 cm^3*1200 rpm/2= 96000 cm^3/min

1l=1000 cm^3

V=96 l/min
