Reconsider Prob. 9-55. Using EES (or other) software, study the effect of varying the compression ratio from 14 to 24. Plot the net work output, mean effective pressure, and thermal efficiency as a function of the compression ratio. Plot the T-s and P-v diagrams for the cycle when the compression ratio is 20.
Prob. 9-55
An ideal diesel engine has a compression ratio of 20 and uses air as the working fluid. The state of air at the beginning of the compression process is 95 kPa and 20oC. If the maximum temperature in the cycle is not to exceed 2200 K
