A farmer is intending to invest in a diesel engine powered water pump for irrigation and domestic water supply. The meteorological data indicates that the average lowest temperature in the area where the pump is to be installed is 5°C. The auto ignition temperature of diesel fuel is 357°C. The compression ratio of the engine is 16.5:1 and polytropic constant, n = 1.30. Determine whether the engine will be able to start on the average coldest day. Justify your answer.
