Problem 2: One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 550 cm3. Air is admitted to the cylinder at 25∘C and a pressure of 1.0 atm. The piston rod then does 500 J of work to rapidly compress the air.
a) What is its final temperature and volume? (Hint: It’s hot. Diesel engines use compression to ignite a gas/air mixture without the aide of spark plugs.)

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...
