An air-standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 12.5. At the beginning of compression, p = 100 kPa, T = 300 K, and V1 = 14 L. The total amount of energy added by heat transfer is 22.7 kJ. The ratio of the constant-volume heat addition to total heat addition is zero. Determine: (a) the temperatures at the end of each heat addition process, in K. (b) the net work per unit of mass of air, in kJ/kg. (c) the percent thermal efficiency. (d) the mean effective pressure, in kPa. An air-standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 12.5.
