Problem
A gasoline engine uses liquid octane and air, both supplied at P0, T0, in a stoichiometric ratio. The products (complete combustion) flow out of the exhaust valve at 2000 R. Assume that the heat loss carried away by the cooling water, at 200 F, is equal to the work output. Find the efficiency of the engine expressed as (work/lower heating value) and the second-law efficiency.
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.
