The engine designed by Lenoir was essentially an atmospheric engine based on the early steamengines. In this, a combustible mixture was contained in a cylinder: it was ignited and the pressureincreased isochorically to the maximum level. After this the gas expanded isentropically throughan expansion ratio, re, during which it produced work output. The air-standard cycle returned thegas to state 1 through an isochoric expansion to p₁ and an isobaric compression to V1.Assume p₁ = 1 bar, T₁ = 15 °C, p2 = 10 bar and the expansion ratio, re = 5. Calculate thespecific work output and thermal efficiency of this cycle. How does this compare with theefficiency of an equivalent Carnot cycle?[650.30 kJ/kg; 34.97%; 90.0%]

In a C.I. engine working on the dual combustion cycle the compression ratio is 12.5:1. Air at 101.3kPa and 35°C is compressed adiabatically. Fuel is then added until the pressure reaches 4000kPa, then at constant pressure to a temperature of 1425°C. After adiabatic expansion to the initial volume exhaust takes place. Calculate: (a). work done/kg air (b). thermal efficiency
