Assignment No 2 (CLO-2, PLO-2)

Problem 1: A four-cylinder, four-stroke, 2.2-L gasoline engine operates on the Otto cycle
with a compression ratio of 10. The air is at 100 kPa and 60°C at the beginning of the
compression process, and the maximum pressure in the cycle is 8 MPa. The compression
and expansion processes may be modeled as polytropic with a polytropic constant of 1.3.
Using constant specific heats at 850 K, determine (a) the temperature at the end of the
expansion process, (b) the network output and the thermal efficiency, (c) the mean effective
pressure, (d) the engine speed for a net power output of 70 kW, and (e) the specific fuel
consumption, in g/kWh, defined as the ratio of the mass of the fuel consumed to the
network produced. The air–fuel ratio, defined as the amount of air divided by the amount of
fuel intake, is 16.

Problem 2: A four-cylinder two-stroke 2.4-L diesel engine that operates on an ideal Diesel
cycle has a compression ratio of 17 and a cutoff ratio of 2.2. The air is at 55°C and 97 kPa
at the beginning of the compression process. Using the cold-air standard assumptions,
Draw cycle diagram. Determine how much power the engine will deliver at 1500 rpm.

Problem 3: A simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 8.
The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 310 and 1160K. Assuming an
isentropic efficiency of 75 percent for the compressor, and 82 percent for the turbine,
determine (a) the air temperature at the turbine exit, (b) the network output, and (c) thermal
efficiency.

Problem 4: An ideal Brayton cycle with regeneration has a pressure ratio of 10. Air enters
the compressor at 300 K and the turbine at 1200 K. If the effectiveness of the regenerator is
100 percent, determine the network output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Account
for the variation of specific heats with temperature.
