Problem 2- Ideal Otto cycle with variable specific heats (10 pts)
An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 9.5 and is modeled using air. At the start of the compression process P1=95kPa,T1=7C and V1=3 liters. The maximum air temperature in the cylinder is 927C. Please answer the following questions.
Note: This problem is to be solved using variable specific heats. You will not receive credit for solutions that use constant specific heats.
a. Sketch the cycle on P-v and T-s diagrams. Identify the states using numbers as shown in your textbook and indicate which processes transport heat.
b. Compute the temperature and pressure at the end of the compression cycle.
c. For each repetition of the cycle calculate the heat rejection and the net work production, in kJ.
d. Calculate the thermal efficiency.
e. Consider that the crank of the engine turns at 3000 RPM. Determine the power for one cycle. Hint: two revolutions of the crank represent one cycle.
