An air-standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 16 at


An air-standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 16. At the beginning of compression, p1 5 14.5 lbf/in.2, V1 5 0.5 ft3, and T1 5 508F. The pressure doubles during the constant volume heat addition process.For a maximum cycle temperature of 30008R, determine

(a) the heat addition to the cycle, in Btu.

(b) the net work of the cycle, in Btu.

(c) the thermal efficiency.

(d) the mean effective pressure, in lbf/in.2

(e) To investigate the effects of varying maximum cycle temperature, plot each of the quantities calculated in parts (a) through (d) for maximum cycle temperatures ranging from 3000 to 40008R.
