The weight of a diesel engine is directly proportional to the compression ratio (W=kr) because extra metal must be used to strengthen the engine for the higher pressures. Examine the net specific work produced by a diesel engine per unit of weight as the pressure ratio is varied and the specific hear input remains fixed. Do this for several heat inputs and proportionality constraints k. Are there any optimal combinations of k and specific heat inputs?

Support and explain your conclusion using engineering analysis and plots. The weight of a diesel engine is directly proportional to the compression ratio (W = kr, k is a constant and r is the compression ratio) because extra metal must be used to strengthen the engine for the higher pressures. Examine the net specific work produced by a diesel engine per unit weight as the pressure ratio is varied and the specific heat input remains fixed. Do this for several...
A four-stroke 2.0 Litre compression ignition engine operates on a Diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 20 and a cut-off ratio of 1.8. Air is at 30°C and 100 kPa at the beginning of the compression process. It may be assumed that for the air, the specific heat, Cp and gas constant, R are 1.005 and 0.287 kJ/kg.K, respectively. Calculate: the temperature (K) of the air at the end of the following processes: (i) (a) compression (ii) combustion, (ii...
Problem 1 A diesel engine has a compression ratio r = 20 and uses air as the working fluid. The state of air at the beginning of the compression process is P1 = 95 kPa and T = 20°C. However, the isentropic expansion normally occuring between state 3 and state 4 is replaced by a polytropic process along which: Pul.35 = constant. The maximum temperature in the cycle is not to exceed 2200 K. In this analysis, the variation of...
4. 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 compression process is 95kPa and 20°C. If the maximum temperature in the cycle is not to exceed 2200K, determine a) the thermal efficiency and b) the mean effective pressure. Assume constant specific heats for air at room temperature. 5. An aircraft engine operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio...
