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,
For the air, take, R = 0.287 kJ/kg K, γ=1.4
