An ideal gas power cycle is executed within a closed piston-cylinder system and consists of three processes as follows;
1 > 2 : Isentropic compression from an initial temperature of 27 oC with a compression ratio of 6.
2 > 3 : Isothermal expansion to the initial volume
3 > 1 : Constant volume heat rejection to the initial state
Assuming constant properties as
Cv = 0.6 kJ/kgK , Cp = 0.9 kJ/kgK , R = 0.3 kJ/kgK , k = 1.5 ;
Determine the maximum temperature of the cycle.
