9-54 An ideal dual cycle has a compression ratio of 14 and cutoff ratio of 1.2. The thermal efficiency, amount of heat
added, and the maximum gas pressure and temperature are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 The air-standard assumptions are applicable. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. 3 Air is
an ideal gas with constant specific heats.
Properties The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK, cv = 0.718 kJ/kgK, R = 0.287 kJ/kgK, and
k = 1.4 (Table A-2).
