Question: In an Otto cycle, where the compression ratio is 7 . 5 , the heat input is 1 5 0 0 kJ / kg .

In an Otto cycle, where the compression ratio is 7.5, the heat input is 1500 kJ/kg. The pressure and temperature of the air at the beginning of the compression stroke (point 1) are 100 kPa and 20C respectively. Cp=(7/2)R, Cv=(5/2)R. Determine
a. The maximum temperature and pressure (K and KPa)
b. The thermal efficiency of the cycle (%)
c .The MEP, mean effective pressure (kPa) d. If the temperature at Point 1 is changed to 50C, find maximum temperature, maximum pressure and MEP (same units above).
