THERMODYNAMICS
ASSIGNMENT FOUR

 Attempt the assignment in your respective groups


 Date of Submission is Saturday 26/10/2024

QUESTION ONE

A Carnot cycle has lowest temperature and pressure of 20°C and 1 bar. The pressures are: 4 bar
after isothermal compression; 12 bar after isentropic compression and 6 bar after isothermal heat
addition. Calculate

(a) the highest temperature in the cycle,

(b) thermal efficiency of the cycle,

(c) mean effective pressure

(d) power developed with 150 cycles per minute.

QUESTION TWO

A four-stroke, four-cylinder petrol engine of 250-mm bore and 375-mm stroke works on Otto
cycle. The clearance volume is 0.01052 m3. The initial pressure and temperature are 1 bar and
47°C. If the maximum pressure is limited to 25 bar, find the following:

(a) The air standard efficiency of the cycle,

(b) The mean effective pressure.

QUESTION THREE

An engine operates on air standard Diesel cycle. The pressure and temperatures at the beginning
of compression are 100 k.Pa and 27°C. The compression ratio is 18. The heat added per kg of air
is 1850 kJ. Determine maximum pressure, maximum temperature, thermal efficiency, network
done and mean effective pressure of the cycle. Assume ɤ = 1.4 and CP = 1.005 kJ/kg·K.

QUESTION FOUR

The pressure and temperature at the beginning of compression in an air-standard dual cycle are 1
bar and 30°C, respectively. The compression ratio 9. The maximum pressure in the cylinder is
limited to 60 bar. The heat is added during constant pressure process up to 4% of the stroke.
Assuming cylinder bore and stroke as 250 mm and 300 mm, respectively, determine:
(a) Air standard efficiency of the dual cycle,

(b) Power developed, if the number of working cycles are 3 per second.

For air take, Cv = 0.71k.J/ kg·K and CP = 1.0 k.J/ kg·K

QUESTION FIVE.

A gas turbine operating on a simple constant pressure cycle has a pressure compression of 8:1.
The turbine thermal efficiency is 60% of ideal. The fuel used has a calorific value of 43MJ/kg. If
ɤ=1.4, determine;

(a) the actual thermal efficiency of the turbine

(b) the specific fuel consumption of the turbine in kg/kWh
