Question: Consider a spark - ignition engine with a compression ratio of 8 . At the beginning of the compression step, air is at 9 0

Consider a spark-ignition engine with a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of the compression step, air is at 90kPa and 298.15K. In the heat addition step, 800kJkg of heat is supplied. For this engine, calculate:
a. the temperature and pressure at each state of the process
b. the net specific work for the cycle
c. the thermal efficiency of the engine
A complete solution should include a labeled diagram of each state. The gas constant R for air is 0.2870kJkg*K, and take the specific heat capacities to be cP=1.005kJkg*K and cv=0.718kJkg*K.
Selected Ans: Wnet=-451.6kJkg,th=56.4%
