Calculate pressure and temperature at remaining three states


An engine operates on an ideal, cold air-standard Otto cycle with a compression ratio of 8 (r = v1/v2). Heat transfer to the engine is from a high-temperature reservoir at 1273 K, and heat transfer from the engine is to the surroundings at 293 K. At the beginning of the isentropic-compression process, the pressure and the temperature of the working fluid are P1 = 110 kPa and T1 = 323 K. At the end of the combustion process the temperature is T3 = 1173  K.

Use: kair = 1.4, cv,air = 0.717 J/g.K, cp,air =1.004 J/g.K, Mair = 28.97 g/mol,

(a) Calculate the pressure and temperature at the remaining three states of the Otto cycle: P2, T2, P3, T3, P4, T4.

(b) Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

(c) Calculate the thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the same high- and low-temperature reservoirs. Explain why it is different from (b).
