1. A four-stroke turbocharged V-16 diesel engine built by GE Transportation Systems to power fast trains produces 4400 hp at 1500 rpm. Determine the amount of work produced per cylinder per
(a) mechanical cycle and
(b) thermodynamic cycle.
2. Consider a simple ideal Brayton cycle operating between the temperature limits of 300 and 1500 K. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the pressure ratio for which the compressor and the turbine exit temperatures of air are equal.
