ONLY ANSWER 6 3. A diesel engine powers a boat. The engine’s cylinders each have a cut-offratio (V3/V2) of 2 and the V3 is 4ft3. If 1 cylinder is in the isobaric expansionstroke, find the final temperature if the initial temperature is 540F. 6. From number 3, if the gas tank accident happened on top of Mt. Everest’s summit where patm is only 33.7 kpa and the readings obtained are the same, find the new final temperature.
