- In an SI engine working on the ideal Otto cycle the compression ratio is 6. The pressure and the temperature at the beginning of compression are 1.013 bar and 27°C respectively. The Peak pressure is 30 bar. Determine the pressure and temperature at the salient points, the air standard efficiency and the mean effective pressure. Assume γ = 1.4
- An engine working with dual cycle has a compression ratio of 10 and 2/3 of heat of combustion is liberated at constant volume and the remainder at constant pressure. The pressure and temperature at the beginning are 1 bar and 27°C. and the maximum pressure is 40 bar. Find the temperature at the end of compression and expansion. And the air standard efficiency. Assume γ = 1.4
