An air-standard Otto cycle operates with a compression ratio of 8. At the start of the compression stroke, the pressure is 15 psia and the temperature is 80 degrees F. The maximum pressure in the cycle is 550 psia. Find a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, b) the specific volume at the start of the compression stroke, c) the specific volume at the end of the compression stroke, and d) maximum temperature in the cycle.
