Question: Set up the equations to determine the thermal efficiency for the cycle, annual operating cost and total life cycle cost of an actual diesel cycle

Set up the equations to determine the thermal efficiency for the cycle, annual operating cost and total life cycle cost of an actual diesel cycle using deductive problem
solving. Don't forget your unit check. Note: There are no numbers so no calculations are necessary. Use the simplest form for each equation and exact analysis for the
sentropic processes.
Explain how to find the best compression ratio and isentropic efficiency for this diesel engine. Provide graphs to illystrate your process.
