Tutorial 2 (Gas Power Cycle)

1. A four-cylinder, four stroke, 2.2 ` gasoline engine operates on the Otto cycle with a
compression ratio of 10. The air is at 100 kPa and 60 C at the beginning of the compression process, and the maximum pressure in the cycle is 8 MPa. The compression
and expansion processes may be modeled as polytropic with a polytropic constant of
1.3 Using constant specific heats at 850 K, determine (a) the temperature at the end
of expansion process, (b) the net work output and the thermal efficiency, (c) the mean
effective pressure, (d) the engine speed for a net power output of 70 kW, (e) the specific fuel consumption, in g/kWh, defined as the ratio of the mass of the fuel consumed
to the net work produced. Assume air-fuel ratio for the combustion process to be 16.
[Ans: (a)1335 K, (b)820.9 kJ/kg; 50% (c)954 kPa (d)4001 rev/min (e)258 g/kWh]
2. An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 18.2. Air is at 27 C and 1 bar at
the beginning of the compression process and at 1700 K at the end of heat-addition
process. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine
(a) the cut-off ratio, (b) the heat rejection per unit mass, (c) the thermal efficiency.
[Ans: (a)1.9 (b)390 kJ/kg (c)59%]
3. Air enters the compressor of a gas-turbine engine at 300 K and 1 bar, where it is compressed to 7 bar and 580 K. Heat transferred to air in the amount of 950 kJ/kg before
it enters the turbine. FOr a turbine efficiency of 86%, determine (a) the fraction of the
turbine work output used to drive the compressor, (b) the thermal efficiency. Assume
variable specific heats for air. [Ans: (a)53% (b)27%]
4. An ideal Brayton cycle with regeneration has a pressure ratio of 10. Air enters the
compressor at 300 K and the turbine at 1200 K. If the effectiveness of the regenerator is
100%, determine the net work output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Account for
the variation of specific heats with temperature. [Ans: 54%]
5. Air at 7 C enters a turbojet engine at a rate of 16 kg/s and at a velocity of 300 m/s
(relative to the engine). Air is heated in the combustion chamber at a rate of 15,000 kJ/s
and it leaves the engine at 427 C. Determine the thrust produced by this turbojet engine.
(Hint: Choose the entire engine as your control volume). [Ans: 12 kN]
