Please solve this internal combustions engine question for efficiency (net work/energy In). The assumptions are that it's an ideal gas, compression and expansion are isentropic. Ratio of specific heats is constant during expansion, compression, and combustion, no pressure drop. combustion is instant.
Use the stoichiometric equation and pv=nrt (and other polytropic equations) and Change in temperature=q/cv*n to find the T3=DeltaT+T2. Fuel type: Ethanol
Equivalence Ratio: 0.90
lower heating value: 11,604 Btu/lb
Ratio of Specific heats:
k=1.4 for compression
k=1.39 for expansion
k=1.37 for compression
Compression Ratio: 9.0:1
Cylinder displacement: 24 in^3
Exhaust manifold pressure: 14.7 psi
Intake manifold pressure: 18.4 psi psi
Intake manifold temperature: 600 degrees Rankine
Intake valve opening: TDC
Intake Valve closing: 4 in^3 BBDC
Exhaust valve opening: 6 in^3 BBDC
Exhaust Valve closing: TDC
Energy release: TDC
With this I attached a similar solved example to show you the method. Take your time and please help
