4. A Diesel cycle has a temperature at the beginning of the compression is 172.4°F. The temperatures at the isentropic expansion process are 3,263°F and 1,250.6°F, respectively. If the compression ratio is 15 and the pressure at the beginning of the compression is 2,116.8 psf, find the cut-off ratio and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Assume y = 1.4.

4. A Diesel cycle has a
temperature at the beginning of
the compression is 172.4°F . The
temperatures at the isentropic
expansion process are 3,263°F
and 1,250.6°F, respectively. If
the compression ratio is 15 and
the pressure at the beginning of
the compression is 2,116.8 psf,
find the cut-off ratio and the
thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Assume y = 1.4.
