Objective:
To determine the brake power of IC engine using Methanol in alternate fuel engine.
Apparatus:
Mega Tech dynamometer/Generator with alternate fuel engine (Model DG-I)
Technical Data:
Bore size=!mm
"tro#e=$!mm
%om&ression ratio='
"we&t *olume=+,mm
Theory:
Brake Power:
e may define Bra#e .ower as follows
“The power generated by the engine and is measured at output shaft is known as brake
power”
Mathematically it can 0e e1&ressed as
BrakePower=2πNT

Facts about Methanol:
Methanol was first manufactured 0y the destructi*e distillation of wood and therefore#nown as wood alcohol4 It is used as a less e1&ensi*e fuel and is ma5orly used in racing
cars4 6ther than that it has an u&&er hand o*er gasoline in the sense that it 0urns o*erlower tem&erature than gasoline which increase it7s utility4
