(Requires results from Problem 11.3) Consider the same engine as in Problem 11.3 but now run as an Atkinson cycle. The volume after expansion (V4) is still 2 L, but the volume before compression (V1b) is 1.54 L. The compression ratio is still 9.6:1, so the minimum volume is V2 = 0.16 L. What is the expansion ratio? Assuming that the amount of air and fuel are both reduced by the ratio of V1b/V4, find the work done in expansion, W{34}, the work required by compression, W{1b2}, and the energy input from combustion Q{23}. Compute the efficiency and the engine’s power at 5000 rpm.
