Sketch the p-v and T-s diagrams for this cycle and calculate the following performance parameters: i) Cycle Thermal Efficiency. ii) The efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating at the maximum and minimum temperatures of this cycle. iii) Mean Effective Pressure. iv) Work Ratio.
It is proposed to design and develop an engine based on a reversible air standard gas power cycle
which shall consists of the following processes:
a) Process 1 to 2: Air at a pressure of 1.4 bar is compressed in a reversible adiabatic process
until its pressure is 34.5 bar and its temperature is 750 oC.
b) Process 2 to 3: The air at 2 is then expanded in a reversible isothermal process to a pressure
of 20 bar.
c) Process 3 to 4: The air is further expanded in a reversible adiabatic process to a pressure of
1.4 bar.
d) Process 4 to 1: The air is finally cooled reversibly at constant pressure until it is restored to
its initial state.
Sketch the p-v and T-s diagrams for this cycle and calculate the following performance parameters:
i) Cycle Thermal Efficiency.
ii) The efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating at the maximum and minimum temperatures of
this cycle.
iii) Mean Effective Pressure.
iv) Work Ratio.
