A fuel-air mixture with a fuel-to-air equivalence ratio of 0.6 enters an engine cylinder at 400 K where it is then compressed. After compression the mixture is at 750 K. Calculate the power needed for this compression process if the air mass flow rate is 100 kg/hr. Also calculate the compression ratio for this process.

Problem 1 (65 pts): The cylinder of a Diesel engine is initially filled with air at 100 kPa and 298 K (piston is at BDC). The air is then compressed isentropically with a compression ratio of 20. Fuel, n-dodecane, is then introduced and combusted with the air, which produces work output (i.e. pushes the piston back to BDC). At the end of the power stroke, the temperature of the combustion products is 1020 K. The amount of heat lost to...
