A four cylinder, four-stroke cycle, single acting diesel engine has a 740 mm bore and a 1500 mm stroke. What indicated power will be developed if the average mean effective pressure is 18 kg/cm2 at a speed of 90 RPM?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — 3416 kW
Indicated power for a four-stroke engine is calculated using mean effective pressure, piston area, stroke length, and number of working strokes per minute. Applying these parameters for a 740 mm bore and 1500 mm stroke yields 3416 kW.
