Question: A spark ignition engine operating on the ideal Otto cycle takes in air at 1 6 psia and 6 5 ^ ( @ ) F

A spark ignition engine operating on the ideal Otto cycle takes in air at 16 psia and 65^(@)F at the beginning of
the compression stroke. The compression ratio is 10.2 and the displacement volume is 96 in ^(3). Operational
constraints require that the maximum temperature in the cycle be kept below 2200^(@)F. Use cold-air
standard assumptions. Calculate the
a) Pressure, temperature and specific volume at the end of each process
b) Heat added and removed during each cycle (Btu)
c) Net work output for each cycle (Btu)
d) Thermal efficiency of the cycle
e) Mean effective pressure (psia), and please Include a cycle diagram (P-v or T-s) for each problem. Every numerical calculation must be preceded by the appropriate equation. Do not forget units & dimensions during your calculations.
