At the beginning of the compression process of an air-standard
Otto cycle, p1 = 1 bar and
T1 = 300 K. The compression ratio is 8.5 and
the heat addition per unit mass of air is 1200 kJ/kg.
Determine:
(a) the maximum temperature of the cycle, in K.
(b) the net work, in kJ/kg.
(c) the percent thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(d) the mean effective pressure, in kPa.
