This document provides instructions for homework assignment 2 for an energy conversion systems course. Students are asked to analyze an ideal gas cycle composed of four processes using air as the working fluid: an isentropic compression from 100 kPa and 27°C to 1 MPa, an isobaric heat addition at 1 MPa, an isochoric heat rejection back to 100 kPa, and a final isobaric heat rejection to return to the initial state. Students are to sketch the cycle on P-V and T-S diagrams, calculate the maximum temperature, and determine the thermal efficiency using constant specific heats.

Homework Assignment 2 Due: Friday, 28 Oct 2016 An ideal gas cycle is composed of four processes with air as the working uid: 1-2: Isentropic compression from 100 kPa and 27 C to 1 MPa. 2-3: Isobaric heat addition of 2800 kJ/kg. 3-4: Isochoric heat rejection to 100 kPa. 4-1: Isobaric heat rejection to state (1). (a) Show the cycle on a P-v and T-s diagrams. (b) Calculate the maximum temperature in the cycle. (c) Calculate the thermal eciency. Assume that the specic heats are constant at the room temperature value.
