An ideal dual cycle has a compression ratio of 14 and uses air as the working fluid.

Question:

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 1208F, 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.
