A Diesel engine with a compression ratio of 16 has a cutoff
ratio of 1.5. The state before polytropic compression (exponent
1.3) is 1700 cm3, 96 kPa and 22°C and there is isentropic
expansion.
(a) Sketch the P-v diagram for this cycle.
(b) Calculate the heat transfer in and heat transfer out.
(c) Determine the thermal efficiency.
(d) Calculate the mean effective pressure.
