Two engine options are being compared for a new car. Engine 1 is naturally aspirated with CR of 10.5:1 and inlet conditions of 60C and 96 kPa . Engine 2 is supercharged with aftercooling and has cylinder inlet conditions of 80C and 130 kPa . To avoid knock, it is desirable to have the Air and Fuel temperature at the start of combustion in Engine 2 the same as in engine 1.(assume k=1.4)
a. Calculate the temperature at the start of combustion in engine 1
b. Compression ratio of engine 2 that would give the same temperature at the start of combustion
c. Temperature reduction in the aftercooler of engine 2 if the compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 82% and inlet conditions are the same as engine 1.
