Assignment 3

The document contains descriptions of several thermodynamic cycles - a Carnot cycle operating between 70°F and 500°F, an Otto cycle operating on air between specified pressures and temperatures, a diesel cycle operating at a compression ratio of 13.5, a Brayton cycle operating on air at specified flow rates and pressures/temperatures, and a Rankine cycle operating between steam generation at 4.1MPa and 440°C and condensation at 0.105MPa. For each cycle, the document lists various parameters and properties to calculate, such as temperatures, pressures, volumes, heat transfer rates, work, and efficiency.
