1. An engine with a cylinder volume of 250 cc and a volume at top dead centre of 25 cc uses a thermal cycle where the initial stage is an isentropic adiabatic compression process with the equation pvY = C. It is known that the initial conditions are 1 bar and 30°C. After that, a combustion process takes place in which heat is supplied at a constant volume. The heat given is 80 KJ/kg and if the specific heat at constant volume is known to be 0.718 kJ/kg K, determine the maximum temperature and pressure that occur? 2. Air with a mass of 3 kg is heated at constant volume from 25°C to 120°C. The process then takes place at constant pressure so that the gas has a temperature of 550°C. Determine the heat required and the entropy change that occurs during the process? (Air: Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K and y = 1.4; and assume Cp does not change with temperature). Known that initial volume is 50 ml and the last volume is 300 ml.
