A four cylinder, four-stroke spark-ignition engine will be modeled with an ideal Otto cycle. Each cylinder is a heat engine. The compression ratio is 8 and each cylinder has a maximum volume of 0.0004m^3. At the beginning of the compression process the air in the cylinder is at 100kPa, 300K and the maximum temperature of the air in the cycle is 1800K. Model the air as an ideal gas having constant specific heats, using the 300K values from tables.
Find the amount of thermal energy that must be supplied to the air in the cylinder and the net work done by an individual cylinder-piston heat engine each time the cycle is executed.
