- A turbocharged engine with a compression ratio of 8 is being designed using an air standard cycle. The ambient air is assumed to be 300K and 100 kPa. The temperature at the end of the compression in the cylinder is desired to be 1000K, assuming no combustion prior to reaching TDC. At the end of the cylinder expansion the temperature is also desired to be 1000K. If both the turbine and the compressor have mechanical efficiencies of 80%, what will be the pressure ratio of the compressor and what will be the turbine exhaust temperature?arrow_forwardQ6: A turbocharged engine with a compression ratio of 8 is being designed using an air standard cycle.
