Q2) In an idea dual combustion cycle, the maximum and minimum pressures are 60 bar and 1 bar respectively.
The volume compression ratio is 16:1 and the minimum temperature is 17℃
The cycle mean effective pressure is 10 bar and the air standard efficiency is 60%.
(a) Sketch the cycle on pressure-volume and temperature-specific entropy diagrams (2)
(b) Calculate EACH of the following for 1kg of air;
(i) The total heat supplied; (4)
(ii) The maximum cycle temperature (6)
(iii) The volume of constant pressure heat addition as a percentage of the stroke(4)
Cv = 0.718 kJ/kgK; Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK; γ = 1.4
