Cylinder conditions at the start of compression in a spark ignition engine operating at wide open throttle on an air-standard Otto cycle are 60oC and 98kPa. The engine has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and uses petroleum with an air-fuel ratio (AF) of 15.5. Combustion efficiency is 96%, and it can be assumed that there is no exhaust residual. If the petroleum has a heating value (QHV) of 43kJ/kg, Calculate the following:

Question

Cylinder conditions at the start of compression in a spark ignition engine operating at
wide open throttle on an air-standard Otto cycle are 60oC and 98kPa.
The engine has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and uses petroleum with an air-fuel ratio
(AF) of 15.5.
Combustion efficiency is 96%, and it can be assumed that there is no exhaust residual.
If the petroleum has a heating value (QHV) of 43kJ/kg,
Calculate the following:

1) Temperature in oC and Pressure in kPa at all states in the cycle 
2) Specific work done during the power stroke in kJ/kg 
3) Heat added during combustion in kJ/kg 
4) Net specific work done in kJ/kg
5) Indicated thermal efficiency
