Explanation Draw the T − s diagram for ideal Stirling engine cycle as shown in Figure (1). Write the expression of ideal gas equation for the isothermal process 3-4. P 4 = P 3 v 3 v 4 (I) Here, pressure at state 4 is P 4 , , pressure at state 3 is P 3 , volume at state 3 is v 3 and volume at state 4 is v 4 . Write the expression of ideal gas equation for the constant volume process 4-1. T 1 = T 4 ( P 1 P 4 ) (II) Here, temperature at state 4 is T 4 , and temperature at state 1 is T 1 . Write the expression of heat input to the Stirling engine cycle ( q in ) . q in = R T 1 ln v 2 v 1 (III) Here, the gas constant of air is R , volume at state 2 is v 2 and volume at state 1 is v 1 . Write the expression of heat rejected by the Stirling engine cycle ( q out ) . q out = R T 3 ln v 4 v 3 (IV) Here, volume at state 4 is v 4 and volume at state 3 is v 3 . Write the expression of net specific work done by the Stirling engine cycle ( w net ) . w net = q in − q out (V) Conclusion: From Table A-2Ea, “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”, obtain the following properties for air. R = 0.06855 Btu / lbm ⋅ R c v = 0 .171 Btu / lbm ⋅ R c p = 0.240 Btu / lbm ⋅ R k = 1.4 Substitute 10 psia for P 3 and 10 for ( v 3 v 4 ) in Equation (I). P 4 = ( 10 psia ) ( 10 ) = 100 psia Substitute 100 ° F for T 4 , 600 psia for P 1 , and 100 psia for P 4 in Equation (II). T 1 = ( 100 ° F ) ( 600 psia 100 psia ) = ( 100 + 460 ) R ( 600 psia 100 psia ) = 3360 R Substitute 0

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?
