One kilogram of air is taken through a constant volume cycle. At
the commencement of the adiabatic compression, the pressure and
temperature are 103 kN/m2 and 1000C
respectively. The adiabatic compression has a volume ratio of 6:1.
The maximum pressure of the cycle is 3.45 MN/m2.
Determine, for the cycle,
the pressure, volume and temperature at each of the cycle
process change points,
[8]
the heat transferred to the air,
[3]
the heat rejected by the air,...
