This article is about the steps and formula used in calculation of the mass ow rate of engine exhaust. The calculations of mass
ow rate is very important and these can be used as input for oxiometers and catalytic converters. Though there are some
electronic devices to calculate mass ow rate this method depicts a way of manual calculation which can be handy. The mass
ow rate calculation is shown and explained with a neat example.

Engine exhaust mass ow rate determination

The mass ow rate calculation is proceeded with example and factors are assumed. So calculation is done by following assumptions.

Assumptions:

1. Two cylinder 1500 cc engine.


2. Flywheel rotation = 1500 rpm.
3. Exhaust pressure = 3 to 4 bar.
4. Exhaust temperature = 450K to 800 K.

1. So, for 1500 rpm when converted into rps => 1500/60 = 25 rps.

2. Also it is known that for 2 revolutions of ywheel the entire cylinder is emptied, meaning 1500 cc is going out of engine for 2 revolutions.

3. Therefore for 1 revolution 750 cc is going out of cylinder.

4. Thus the volume ow rate is seen to be = 750x25 = 18750 cc/sec.

5. Now the density is found by using the formula:
l=p/RT i.e. 4e5/ (287x773) = 1.8 kg/m 3. Therefore the mass ow rate is the product of (volume ow rate) x (density). It indicates the mass ow rate to be
= .0337 kg/sec.

So MASS FLOW RATE m=0.0337 kg/sec.

In this above calculations all the parameters are assumed and they are not constant. Hence it is advised to use respective values of calculations for these
factors.

Does the mass ow rate remain the same at all rpm; specially at the rpm at which peak torque is obtained?
