A six-cylinder, four-stroke, 3.2-L compression-ignition engine operates on the ideal diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 19. The air is at 95 kPa and 67°C at the beginning of the compression process and the engine speed is 1750 rpm. The engine uses light diesel fuel with a heating value of 42,500 kJ/kg, an air—fuel ratio of 28, and a combustion efficiency of 98 percent. Using constant specific heats at 850 K, determine (a) the maximum temperature in the cycle and the cutoff ratio (b) the net work output per cycle and the thermal efficiency, (c) the mean effective pressure, (d) the net power output, and (e) the specific fuel consumption, in g/kWh, defined as the ratio of the mass of the fuel consumed to the net work produced.
