One of the parameters used to describe automobile engines is the compression ratio, which is the ratio of the volume in the piston-cylinder device in the engine at time1(the maximum volume) to the volume in the piston at time 2 (the minimum volume) as shown in the figure.
a) Assume that the working fluid is air, the pressure at time 1 is 95 kPa, the temperature is 295 K and the compression ratio is 8. Also, assume that air has constant specific heat values as defined at room temperature in table A-2. If the system is adiabatic and the compression process is reversible, determine the final pressure of the air.
b)assuming variable specific heat capacity. Hint: You’ll need to calculate the temperature at time 2 and then use the ideal gas law to find the pressure.
Homework Answers
We know that from ideal gas equation
P1 V1 /T1 = P2 V2 /T2 ➡ T2 = P2V2 T1/P1V1
And from Boil's law
P1V1= P2V2
P1(V1/V2)= P2
P2= 95(8)= 760 kpa
P1 - intial pressure = 95 kpa
V1- initial volume
T1 - initial temperature= 295 k
P2- Final pressure=
V2 - final volume
T2- final temperature
T2= P2V2 T1/P1V1 = (P2 T1/P1)(V2/V1)
T2 = (760 ×295/95) (1/8) = 295 k

Problem 3 In modern high-speed compression ignition engines, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber much sooner than in early diesel engines. That means, heat is added partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure. The advantage of this modification is that more time is available for the fuel to completely combust. The ideal dual cycle consists of the following operations: • Process -: Isentropic compression • Process -3: Addition of heat at constant volume. • Process - Addition...

A piston–cylinder device contains 2 kg of air initially at 90 kPa and 30°C. The air is now compressed slowly in a process during which PV k = constant until the volume is reduced by one-half. If the exponent k characterizing the compression process is the specific heat ratio of the air for the average operating temperatures (Table A-2b), the net heat transfer for the process is expected to be zero (adiabatic). Determine the work done and show that the...
