A cold air-standard Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 6 and the temperature and pressure at the beginning of the compression process are 520°R and 14.2 lbf/in.2, respectively. The heat addition per unit mass of air is 500 Btu/lb. Assume constant specific heats evaluted at 520°R. Determine:
(a) the maximum temperature, in °R.
(b) the maximum pressure, in lbf/in.2
(c) the percent thermal efficiency.
(d) the mean effective pressure, in lbf/in.2
