AlM: To carry out various Performance tests: Morse Test and William Line Plot
Apparatus:
Test rig of multi cylinder 4sroke petrol Engine
Theory:
Morse test is carried out on multi-cylinder petrol engines to determine the indicated power of
the engine. Putting OFF the ignition for a cylinder carries out this test. For thís test, the
desired speed is adjusted& the engine is loaded. The load & speed are noted down. Thenone
of the cylinders is put off. Then load on the engine is reduced &engine speed is adjusted to
previous speed. The accelerator position is not disturbed. The load indicated on the dial is
noted down after coinciding with the pointer & the same procedure is followed for rest
cylinders.
Morse Test, applicable only to multi cylinder engines use to find indicated power, break
power frictional power and mechanical efficiency of the petrol engine as well as diesel engine
for set positions of throttle, choke and for aselected speed by cutting each cylinder in
succession. If the engine consists of 'k cylinders then the break power of the engine should be
measured k-times cutting each cylinder turn by turn The cylinder of petrol engine is made
inoperative by shorting the spark plug. If all the k" cylinders of the engine are in working.

ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS:
Engine Type : Four cylinder Four stroke MPFl petrolengine (Maruti)
Bore : 0.072 m,
Stroke : 0.06lm
Capacity :993 cc
Power :60 HP at 6000 rpm
Torque: 78.5 Nm at 4500 rpm
Compression Ratio :9.4:1
Procedure :
The speed is kept constant at fixed throttle setting by adjusting the load.
At first, load reading is taken all the four
cylinders are working.
Then one by one each cylinder is cut off and BP values are taken for the same speed
and throttle opening.
The cylinder is cut off by shorting the spark plug.
When a particular cylinder is cut off even then the frictional and pumping horse power
remains same as it would be then the cylinder is in working state and is producing the
power.
After cutting out one cylinder and completion of measurements, the engine should be
run on all cylinders for a short period of time, before cutting out the next
cylinder to
bring steady state condition.
After cutting out any cylinder, load should immediately be adjusted to keep the speed
same and reading should be taken without loss of time.

ElectricalGenerator/Dynamometer
Generator use an armature surrounded by a set of unmoving field coils, likes a DC motor. the
field coils are powered and the regulator controls current to the fields to control the output of
the generator As the armature turns, electrical currents is induced in windings. Generator is
connected with the electric load (3 Heater)
