Diesel Engine Efficiency An engine operates on an ideal Diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 16:1. The temperature of air at the start of the compression is 27 °C. If the maximum engine temperature is 1473 °C, determine the thermal efficiency of this engine in [%]. (Note that isentropic constant for air is y = 1.4).
