Otto, Diesel, and Dual Cycles Solve Problem 9.7 on a cold air-standard basis with specific heats evaluated at 520°R.

Problem 9.7

An air-standard Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8 and the temperature and pressure at the beginning of the compression process are 520°R and 14.2 lbf/in.2, respectively. The mass of air is 0.0015 lb. The heat addition is 0.9 Btu. Determine

(a) the maximum temperature, in °R.

(b) the maximum pressure, in lbf/in.2

(c) the thermal efficiency.

(d) To investigate the effects of varying compression ratio, plot each of the quantities calculated in parts (a) through (c) for compression ratios ranging from 2 to 12.
