Question: Otto and Diesel cycle

1. Calculate the ideal air standard cycle efficiency based on the Otto cycle for a gas engine with a cylinder
bore of 50 mm, a stroke of 75 mm, and a clearance volume of 21.3 cm3.
2. An idealized air-standard diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 15. The energy input is idealized as a
heat transfer of 700 Btu/lbm. The inlet conditions are 70 oF at 1 atm. Find the pressure and temperature
at the end of each process in the cycle and determine the cycle efficiency.
3. An oil engine takes in air at 1.01 bar, 20 oC, and the maximum cycle pressure is 69 bar. The compressor
ratio is 18:1. Calculate the air standard thermal efficiency based on the dual-combustion cycle. Assume
that the heat added at constant volume is equal to the heat added at constant pressure.
4. A four-stroke Otto cycle has a crankshaft speed of 2000 rpm, a compression ratio of 8, and a
displacement volume of 1.5 liters. At the start of compression, the air is at 293 K, 0.1013 MPa. The
peak cycle temperature is equal to the 2000 K source temperature. The compression and expansion
processes are each reversible and adiabatic. Assuming constant specific heat, make a complete thermal
analysis of the engine. Find the energy transfer per unit mass for each process in the cycle.
5. At the start of the compression process in a Diesel-cycle engine, the air is at 530 R, 14.7 psia. The
compression ratio is 16. The peak cycle temperature is equal to the 4000 R source temperature. The
adiabatic compression and expansion processes are reversible. Even though high temperatures are
involved, assume that specific heats are constants at their low-temperature values. Find the energy
transfer per unit mass for each process in the cycle.
6. A diesel engine has a compression ratio of 15 and heat addition at constant pressure takes place at 6%
of stroke. Find the air standard efficiency of the engine. Take γ for air as 1.4.
7. The stroke and cylinder diameter of a compression ignition engine are 250 mm and 150 mm
respectively. If the clearance volume is 0.0004 m3 and fuel injection takes place at constant pressure
for 5 per cent of the stroke determine the efficiency of the engine. Assume the engine working on the
diesel cycle.
8. Calculate the percentage loss in the ideal efficiency of a diesel engine with compression ratio 14 if the
fuel cut-off is delayed from 5% to 8%.
9. The mean effective pressure of a Diesel cycle is 7.5 bar and compression ratio is 12.5. Find the
percentage cut-off of the cycle if its initial pressure is 1 bar.
10. An engine with 200 mm cylinder diameter and 300 mm stroke works on theoretical Diesel cycle. The
initial pressure and temperature of air used are 1 bar and 27°C. The cut-off is 8% of the stroke.
Determine: (i) Pressures and temperatures at all salient points, (ii) Theoretical air standard efficiency,
(iii) Mean effective pressure, (iv) Power of the engine if the working cycles per minute are 380. Assume
that compression ratio is 15 and working fluid is air. Consider all conditions to be ideal.
