Q4) (c)

In an ideal Otto cycle the air at the beginning of isentropic compression is at 1 bar and 15oC. The ratio of compression is 8. If the heat added during the constant volume process is 1000 kJ/kg, determine (a) the maximum temperature in the cycle, (b) the air standards efficiency (C) work done per kg of air.

Given Data:
p1 = 1 bar
T1 = 15° C = 288 K
r = 8
Q = 1000 kJkg
m = 1 kg
γ = 1.4
Cv = 0.718 kJkg K 
 
Determine:
T3 = ?
ηair = ?
W = ?
 
Solution:
 
Now, T2 T1  = rγ - 1
 
T2 = 288 ×  8 1.4 - 1
 
T2 = 661.650 K
 
We have, Qs = m Cv T3 - T2
 
1000 = 1 × 0.718 × T3 - 661.650
 
T3 = 2054.407 K
 
Now, η = 1 - 1rγ - 1
 
η = 1 - 181.4 - 1
 
η = 0.5646 = 56.46 %
