Using the air tables in Appendix F-1E, calculate the maximum temperature, the net work, the cycle efficiency, and the MEP for the cycle described in Problem 9.28.
Heat is added in the amount of 300 Btu/lbm of air to a diesel cycle, with a compression ratio of 22 and a cutoff ratio of 2. Air enters the engine at 14.7 psia and 77°F. Determine, using a cold-air analysis:
i) The temperature and pressure of the products of combustion at the end of the combustion process
ii) The specific work output of the cycle
iii) The mean effective pressure
iv) The thermal efficiency of the cycle
