Q14. In an air, standard Diesel cycle the volume compression ratio is 22/1. The maximum and minimum temperatures are respectively 2010 K and 305 K, and the minimum pressure is 1.05 bar.

(a) Sketch the cycle on p-V and T-s diagrams.

(b) Calculate EACH of the following:

(i) The heat supplied per kg

(ii) The network output per kg

(iii) The thermal efficiency

(iv) The mean effective pressure.

Note: For air, γ = 1.4 and C_p = 1.005 kJ/kg K.
