Question: In a compression ignition engine working on the ideal dual - combustion cycle, the volumetric compression ratio is 1 2 . 5 : 1 .

In a compression ignition engine working on the ideal dual-combustion cycle, the volumetric compression ratio is 12.5:1. The cycle consists of (a) adiabatic compression from 1.013bar,35C,(b) heat received at constant volume to a maximum pressure of 40 bar ,(c) heat received at constant pressure to a maximum temperature of 1425C,(d) adiabatic expansion to the initial volume, (e) heat rejected at constant volume. Make a sketch of the pV diagram and calculate the mean effective pressure.
Take y=1.4 for air and products of combustion
Area under an adiabatic curve =p1V1-p2V2-1
