(II) A four-cylinder gasoline engine has an efficiency of 0.22 and delivers 180 J of work per cycle per cylinder. If the engine runs at 25 cycles per second (1500 rpm), determine (a) the work done per second, and (b) the total heat input per second from the gasoline. (c) If the energy content of gasoline is 120 MJ per gallon, how far can the car go on one gallon (or on one liter), assuming 1500 rpm in high gear corresponds to a speed of 80 km/h?

An ideal diesel cycle is shown below. This cycle consists of five strokes. In this case, only air is drawn into the chamber during the intake stroke OA. The air is then compressed adiabatically from state A to state B, raising its temperature high enough so that when fuel is added during the power stroke BC, it ignites. After ignition ends at C, there is a further adiabatic power stroke CD. Finally, there is an exhaust at constant volume as the pressure drops from pD to pA , followed by a further exhaust when the piston compresses the chamber volume to zero. (a) Use W=Q1Q2, Q1=nCp(TCTB) , and Q2=nCv(TDTA) to show that e=WQ11TDTA(TCTB). (b) Use the fact that AB and CD are adiabatic to show that e=11( V C V D )( V B V A )( V C V D )( V B V A ). (c) Since there is no preignition (remember, the chamber does not contain any fuel during the compression), the compression ratio can be larger than that for a gasoline engine. Typically, VA/VB=15 and VD/VC=5 . For these values and =1.4 , show that =0.56 , or an efficiency of 56%. Diesel engines actually operate at an efficiency of about 30% to 35% compared with 25% to 30% for gasoline engines.
