A spark-ignition engine has a compression ratio of 10, an isentropic compression efficiency of 85 percent, and an isentropic expansion efficiency of 90 percent. At the beginning of the compression, the air in the cylinder is at 13 psia and 60°F. The maximum gas temperature is found to be 2300°F by measurement. Determine the heat supplied per unit mass, the thermal efficiency, and the mean effective pressure of this engine when modeled with the Otto cycle. Use constant specific heats at room temperature. The properties of air at room temperature are R = 0.3704 psia·ft3/lbm·R, cp = 0.240 Btu/lbm·R, cv = 0.171 Btu/lbm·R, and k = 1.4.

Also, determine the exergy at the end of the isentropic compression process. Account for the variation of specific heats with temperature.
A gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the turbine at 120 psia and 2000 R and leaves at 15 psia and 1200 R. Heat is rejected to the surroundings at a rate of 6400 Btu/s, and air flows through the cycle at a rate of 40 lbm/s. Assuming the turbine to be isentropic and the compressor to have an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent, determine the net power output of the plant. Account for the variation of specific heats with temperature.
