Problem 10.056 - Ideal diesel cycle with constant specific heats An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of 2 . At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 99 kPa and
27\deg C
. Assume constant specific heats. The properties of air at room temperature are
c_(p)=1.005k(J)/(k)g*K,c_(v)=0.718k(J)/(k)g*K,R=0.287k(J)/(k)g*K
, and
k=1.4
. Problem 10.056 .6 - Thermal efficiency in constant heat capacity diesel cycle Determine the thermal efficiency. The thermal efficiency is
