### Otto Cycle Engine: Maximum Pressure and Temperature Calculation

**Problem Statement:**

An Otto cycle engine has a compression ratio of 9 and uses CH18 octane as fuel. The lowest calorific value (LHV) of the fuel is 44500 kJ/kg and the ratio of air to fuel is 15:1. Calculate the maximum value of pressure and temperature in the cycle, considering the following conditions:

1. **Without Counting the Expansion of Molecules:**
   Calculate the maximum pressure and temperature assuming no expansion of molecules.

2. **With Counting the Expansion of Molecules:**
   Calculate the maximum pressure and temperature considering the expansion of the particles. 
   - Assume \( c_v = 0.71 \) kJ/kg.K.
   - The pressure and expansion follow the rule \( P \cdot V^{1.3} = \text{constant} \).
   - The initial pressure at the beginning of the compression stroke is 60 bar.

---

**Instructions for Calculation:**

1. **Without Expansion (a):**
   - Calculate the peak values of pressure and temperature without taking into account molecular expansion.

2. **With Expansion (b):**
   - Account for the expansion of the particles using the given \( c_v \) value.
   - Follow the relationship \( P \cdot V^{1.3} = \text{constant} \) to find the peak pressure and temperature.
   - Given: \( P_{initial} = 60 \, \text{bar} \).

---

### Detailed Explanation:

**1. Calculation Without Molecular Expansion (a):**

- **Steps:**
  - Use the given data and thermodynamic principles pertinent to the Otto cycle to determine the temperature and pressure at various stages.
  - Apply the calorific value and air-to-fuel ratio in conjunction with the engine's compression ratio.

**2. Calculation With Molecular Expansion (b):**

- **Assumptions:**
  - Specific heat at constant volume, \( c_v = 0.71 \) kJ/kg.K.
  - The combined pressure and volume expansion follows \( P \cdot V^{1.3} = \text{constant} \).

- **Steps:**
  - Calculate the new pressure and temperature values incorporating the expansion of fuel particles.
  - Begin with the initial pressure of 60 bar and apply the given expansion rule to derive the final temperature and pressure values.
