CHE313E ENDTERM QUIZ 1

1. A six cylinder engine with a compress ion ratio of 8 and a total volume at TDC of 600mL intakes
atmospheric air at 20oC. The maximum temperature during a cycle is 1500 oC. Assuming an Otto
cycle, calculate (a) the heat supplied per cycle (b) the thermal efficiency and (c) the power output(in
hp) for 400 rpm.
2. A diesel engine intakes atmospheric air at 60 oF and adds 800 Btu/lbm of energy. If the maximum
pressure is 1200 psia, calculate (a) the cut off ratio (b) thermal efficiency (c) power output(in hp)
for an airflow of 0.2 lbm/sec.
3. A dual cycle is used to model a piston engine. The engine intakes atmospheric air at 20 oC,
compresses it to 10MPa, and then combustion increases the pressure to 20MPa. For a cut off ratio
of 2, calculate the cycle efficiency and the power output (in kW) for an airflow of 0.1kg/s.
4. Air at 90kPa and 15oC is supplied to an ideal cycle at intake. If the compression ratio is 10 and the
heat supplied is 300kJ/kg, calculate the efficiency and the maximum temperature for (a) a Stirling
cycle (b) an Ericsson Cycle
