Problem
At the beginning of compression in a diesel cycle, T = 540 R, P = 30 lbf/in.2, and the state after combustion (heat addition) is 2600 R and 1000 lbf/in.2. Find the compression ratio, the thermal efficiency, and the mean effective pressure.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
