7 A compression ignition engine for a small truck is to operate on an air-standard Dual cycle with a compression ratio of \( r_{c}=18\). Due to structural limitations, maximum allowable pressure in the cycle will be 9000 kPa . Light diesel fuel is used at a fuel-air ratio of \(\mathrm{FA}=0.054\). Combustion efficiency can be considered \(100\%\). Cylinder conditions at the start of compression are \(50^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and 98 kPa . Calculate:
(a) Maximum indicated thermal efficiency possible with these conditions. [\%]
(b) Peak cycle temperature under conditions of part (a).[\(\left.{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\right]\)
(c) Minimum indicated thermal efficiency possible with these conditions. [\%]
(d) Peak cycle temperature under conditions of part (c).[\(\left.{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\right]\)
