2.(30pts) Consider the ideal cycle examples from homework 2. The fuel/air mixture is compressed from its initial state (state 1) to TDC (state 2). Combustion then proceeds to state 3 in either a constant volume or constant pressure process. HW2 assumed constant specific heats. Test the validity of this assumption by calculating the percent error between the result from HW2(table) and calculated adiabatic flame temperatures for:
a.(15pts) Constant volume combustion of iso-octane initially at state 2.
b.(15 pts ) Constant pressure combustion of iso-octane initially at state 2.
