In a diesel engine, the fuel is ignited without a spark plug. Instead, air in a cylinder is compressed adiabatically to a temperature above the ignition temperature of the fuel; at the point of maximum compression, the fuel is injected into the cylinder. Suppose that air at 20 C is taken into the cylinder at a volume V1 and then compressed adiabatically and quasi-statically to a temperature of 600 C and a volume V2 . If =1.4 , what is the ratio V1/V2 ? (Note: static. In an operating diesel engine, the compression is not quasi-

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.
An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in air at 90 kPa and 40C, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to produce 90 kW of power.
An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8.
