A diesel cycle operates at and receives 400BTU of energy from the combustion process. The hot air standard is k=1.3. The diesel engine receives air at a pressure of 14.5psia, 90°F, and 0.55lb. What is the mean effective pressure of the engine? The cut-off ratio is 12% of the volume displacement and the percent clearance is 8%.

Did you know that diesel engines don’t have spark plugs? The cycle that diesel engines undergo involves adiabatically compressing the air in the cylinder, then injecting some fuel. When the fuel is injected it ignites if the temperature of the air in the cylinder is above the fuel’s flashpoint. Most diesel engines have a compression ratio (the ratio of the maximum to minimum volume) between 14:1 and 25:1. a) For the given range of compression ratios, what is the range...

Determine what is the temperature of the hot combustion gas that is produced in the engine of a butanol (C4H9OH)-burning bus that uses ambient air for the combustion. Tip: write the balanced stoichiometric equation for the combustion of butanol assuming air is composed of 80% N2 and 20% O2 by volume, and derive the energy balance of the combustion. Atomic weights: C-12, H-1, O-16, N-14. For butanol: cp = 2 kJ/kg/°C; cv = 1.75 kJ/kg/°C; heat released by combustion, or...
