Question 19.8: In the design work for a model single cylinder reciprocating...
In the design work for a model single cylinder reciprocating engine, the work done during the expansion stroke is to be represented as:
W=PπD2C(1−Qn−1)/(4(n−1))where
Q = C/(C + 2R)
and
C = M – R – L – H
The quantities are defined as follows:
W is the work done during the expansion stroke,
P is the cylinder pressure at start of stroke,
D is the piston diameter,
C is the length of the clearance volume,
n is the expansion stroke polytropic exponent,
R is the crank radius,
M is the distance from the crank center to the underside of the cylinder head,
L is the connecting rod length,
H is the distance from gudgeon pin to piston crown,
Q is the ratio of clearance to clearance-plus-swept volumes.
It is recognized that the independent quantities are subject to variability, and it is desired to determine the consequent extreme and probable variability in the work done.
If
P=20×105±0.5×105N/m2,n = 1.3 ± 0.05,
D=4×10−2±25×10−6mR=2×10−2±50×10−6m
M=10.5×10−2±50×10−6m,
H=2×10−2±25×10−6m,
L=6×10−2±50×10−6m,
determine the extreme and probable (normal model) limits of the work (Ellis, 1990).
To help with your solution, certain partial derivatives have already been calculated.

Note: It may be useful to recall that if y=ax, then dy/dx=xloge(a).
