Problem
1. At the beginning of compression in a diesel cycle, T = 300 K and P = 200 kPa. After combustion (heat addition) is complete, T = 1500 K and P = 7.0 MPa. Find the compression ratio, the thermal efficiency, and the mean effective pressure.
2. The world's largest diesel engine has displacement of 25 m3 running at 200 RPM in a two-stroke cycle producing 100 000 hp. Assume an inlet state of 200 kPa, 300 K and a compression ratio of 20:1. What is the mean effective pressure and the flow rate of air to the engine?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
