Tutorial - 7 (IC Engine)

This document contains 5 problems about gas power cycles. Problem 1 asks to determine the thermal efficiency and heat input rate of an ideal Otto cycle operating at 2500 rpm with a compression ratio of 10.5. Problem 2 asks for heat and efficiency calculations for an Otto cycle with a compression ratio of 8 and maximum temperature of 1200°C. Problem 3 involves calculating temperature, pressure, heat, and efficiency for an Otto cycle with compression ratio 9.5 and end expansion temperature of 800K. Problems 4 and 5 ask for maximum temperature and heat rate or efficiency calculations for ideal Diesel cycles operating at different conditions.

GAS POWER CYCLES

Rakesh Chaudhari
Problem 1: An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in
air at 90 kPa and 40oC, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. Using
constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal
efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to
produce 90 kW of power.
Problem 2: An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8 and takes
in air at 95 kPa and 15oC, and the maximum cycle temperature is
1200oC. Determine the heat transferred to and rejected from this cycle,
as well as the cycle’s thermal efficiency.
Problem 3: The compression ratio of an air-standard Otto cycle is
9.5. Prior to the isentropic compression process, the air is at 100
kPa, 35oC, and 600 cm3. The temperature at the end of isentropic
expansion process is 800 K. Using specific heat values at room
temperature, determine (a) the highest temperature and
pressure in the cycle; (b) the amount of heat transferred; (c) the
thermal efficiency.
Problem 4: An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression
ratio of 20 and cut off ratio of 1.3. Determine the
maximum temperature of the air and the rate of heat
addition to this cycle when it produces 250 kW of
power. The air is at 90 kPa and 15oC at the end of the
suction stroke.
Problem 5: An ideal Diesel engine has a compression ratio
of 20 and uses air as the working fluid. The state of the air
at the beginning of the compression process is 95 kPa and
20oC. If the maximum temperature in the cycle is not to
exceed 2200 K, determine
• The thermal efficiency.
Use constant specific heats at room temperature.
