The measured in-cylinder pressure history with crank angle (deg.) for one cycle
(Intake, compression, power & exhaust process) is provided in Table 1 and the
specifications of the test engine is shown in Table 2.

Plot the following diagrams and Write your own inferences

1. Pressure (N/m2) versus volume (m3)

2. Change in pressure (N/m2) with crank angle (deg.)
3. Instantaneous volume (m3) with crank angle (deg.)
4. Heat release rate (J/deg.CA) with crank angle (deg.)
5. Cumulative heat release (J) with crank angle (deg.)
Also, calculate the ignition delay and combustion duration for the given data.
