At the beginning of the compression process of an air-standard Otto cycle, p1 = 1 bar and T1 = 300 K. The compression ratio is 3.5 and the heat addition per unit mass of air is 1400 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.
