An ideal diesel engine has a compression ratio of 20 and uses air as the working fluid. The state of air at the beginning of the compressor process is 100 kpa and 27 C. The maximum temperature in the cycle is 2200 K and the cutoff ratio is 1.2
Determine the following:
The internal energies at the beginning and the end of the compression
The enthalpy before and end of the combustion
The internal energy before and end of the expansion
The heat input, heat rejection and network output
The thermal efficiency
