Step 5: Otto/Diesel Cycle Approximation, Conduct a thermodynamic analysis (temp and pressure at each state) using the appropriate idealized cycle (Otto or Diesel) and cold air standard assumptions. State 1 should be approximately ambient (unless turbo/supercharged) and state 2 can be found using your compression ratio and isentropic relationships. State 3 carn be found using the heat input from Step...

The weight of a diesel engine is directly proportional to the compression ratio (W=kr) because extra metal must be used to strengthen the engine for the higher pressures. Examine the net specific work produced by a diesel engine per unit of weight as the pressure ratio is varied and the specific hear input remains fixed. Do this for several heat inputs and proportionality constraints k. Are there any optimal combinations of k and specific heat inputs?

A diesel engine with a compression ratio of 14.5 starts the compression stroke with air at 101 kPa and 42ºC. Fuel with a heating value of 43,260 kJ/kg is used with a fuel/air ratio of 0.03 kg fuel/kg air. At full throttle the airflow to engine is measured to be 0.1 m3/s and 5% of the fuel does not burn due to poor fuel-air mixing.
