Question: ( 2 5 pts . ) The compression ratio in an ideal Otto cycle is 8 . 5 . At the beginning of the compression

(25 pts.) The compression ratio in an ideal Otto cycle is 8.5. At the beginning of the compression stroke the pressure is 14.7 psi and the temperature is 70F. The heat transfer to the air during the constant-volume heat addition is 900 Btu/bm air. Accounting for the variation of specific heats of air with temperature, determine:
(a)(15 pts.) The pressure and temperature at the end of each process of the cycle.
(b)(5 pts.) The thermal efficiency (solve using both by =wnetqin and by using =1-1rk-1) Explain why there is a difference between the two.
(c)(5 pts.) The mean effective pressure.
