Question

An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 17 and a cutoff ratio of 1.3. Determine the maximum temperature of the air and the rate of heat addition to this cycle when it produces 140 kW of power and the state of the air at the beginning of the compression is 90 kPa and 578C. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.

Answer 1

maximum temperature = 1322 k

rate of heat addition = 212 kw

Step-by-step explanation:

compression ratio = 17

cut off ratio = 1.3

power produced = 140 Kw

state of air at the beginning of the compression = 90 kPa and 578 c

Determine the maximum temperature of air
