The compression ratio of an air-standard dual cycle is 12 and a cutoff ratio of 1.3. The pressure ratio during the constant-volume heat addition process is 1.5. This cycle is operated at 100 kPa and 20°C at the beginning of the compression. By using the constant specific heats at room temperature, evaluate; (i) the maximum gas pressure; (ii) the maximum gas temperature; (ii) amount of heat added; and (iv) thermal efficiency.
