Sheet 1

This document contains a revision sheet for a Thermodynamics 2 course with 5 problems involving air-standard cycles. Problem 1 describes a basic 4-process air-standard cycle and asks to sketch it on P-V and T-S diagrams, calculate maximum temperature, and calculate thermal efficiency. Problem 2 describes a 3-process cycle with variable specific heats and asks to sketch it, calculate net work, and calculate thermal efficiency. Problem 3 asks about a Carnot cycle with given temperature limits and pressure limits. Problems 4 and 5 describe additional cycles and ask to calculate various thermodynamic properties.

processes:
1-2 Isentropic compression from 1 bar and 300 K to 1 Mpa
2-3 Constant pressure heat addition in amount of 2800kJ/kg

b) Calculate the maximum temperature in the cycle.
c) Calculate the thermal efficiency.
