Question: A Diesel engine cycle is modeled as if the working fluid is air at all phases of the cycle, with combustion taking place at constant

A Diesel engine cycle is modeled as if the working fluid is air at all phases of the cycle, with combustion taking place at constant pressure. If the compression ratio is 18:1, the air pressure and temperature at the start of the compression stroke are 90 kPa and 25C, and the maximum temperature in the cycle is 2250C, find the temperatures and pressures at each phase of the cycle and its thermal efficiency.
the answers are
T1=90K, P1=298 kPa
T2=947K, P2=514kPa
T3=2250K, P3=5148kPa
T4=1001 K, P4=302kPa
thermal efficiency=61.5%
how do i get to these answers.
