4. A diesel engine has a bore of 0.1 m, a strike of 0.11 m, and a compression ratio of
19:1 running at 2000 RPM. Each cycle takes two revolutions and has a mean
effective pressure of 1400 kPa. With a total of six cylinders, find the engine power in
kilowatts and horsepower. (Using cold air-standard assumption)
5. An ideal dual cycle has a compression ratio of 14 and uses air as the working fluid.
At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 14.7 psia and 120 F, and
occupies a volume of 98 in3. During the heat-addition process, 0.6 Btu of heat is
transferred to air at constant volume and 1.1 Btu at constant pressure. Using
constant specific heats evaluated at room temperature, determine the thermal
efficiency of the cycle. (Using variation of specific heat)
