In an Otto cycle engine, air at 1 bar and 50°C is compressed until the pressure reaches  650 KPa. Heat is added during the constant volume process at a rate of 500 kJ/kg. Determine the compression ratio of the engine, the temperature at the end of compression and at the end of heat addition. Also determine the maximum possible  compression ratio for this cycle. Take cp = 1.0 kJ/kg-K, cv = 0.706kJ/kg-K.
