Question: Answer the same three questions for the previous problem, but use variable heat capacities (use table A.7). A gasoline engine takes air in at 290

Answer the same three questions for the previous problem, but use variable heat capacities (use table A.7).
A gasoline engine takes air in at 290 K, 90 kPa and then compresses it. The combustion adds 1000 kJ/kg to the air after which the temperature is 2050 K. Use the cold air properties (i.e. constant heat capacities at 300 K) and find the compression ratio, the compression specific work and the highest pressure in the cycle.
