Question

Air is used as the working fluid in a Diesel cycle with nonidealities. Some important pieces of information
regarding the cycle are:

● The nonidealities occur during the adiabatic compression and expansion processes.
● At the beginning of the compression process, the air is at 95 kPa and 22°C.
● The pressure bounds (i.e. the minimum and maximum pressure) for this non-ideal cycle are the
same as they would be under ideal operating conditions.
● Ideally, the compression ratio for this cycle would be ?_ideal= 10.
● The specific volume at the end of the isobaric expansion is the same for the real cycle and the
idealized cycle.
● The temperature is measured to be 800 K after the adiabatic compression process.
● The cutoff ratio for the real cycle is ?_c = 2.5
● The adiabatic expansion produces 85% of the work it would produce if it were also reversible.

Treat air as having constant specific heats at 300 K during your analysis.

c) Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle.
d) Determine the ratio of the thermal efficiency of this cycle compared to its ideal counterpart.
That is, determine( ?_thermal,real) / (?_thermal,ideal)
