Repeat Prob. 9–162 using argon as the working fluid.

Data From Q#162:

Consider an engine operating on the ideal Diesel cycle with air as the working fluid. The volume of the cylinder is 1200 cm³ at the beginning of the compression process, 75 cm³ at the end, and 150 cm³ after the heat-addition process. Air is at 17°C and 100 kPa at the beginning of the compression process. Determine

(a) The pressure at the beginning of the heat-rejection process

(b) The net work per cycle in kJ

(c) The mean effective pressure.
