You’ve just graduated and are working at a firm that manufacturers range extending engines used in hybrid electric vehicles. your boss has commissioned you to suggest an improvement to their most popular engine, which uses a 2-valve design. the engine is operated as a generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries; its speed is held at a constant, elevated level during operation. immediately you suggest moving toward a 4-valve 2 design with the exhaust valves smaller than the intake valves. your boss disagrees that such a configuration is better for engine performance. state your arguments, and using words and equations, explain why four-valves are preferred to two-valves. then, explain why larger intake valves are preferred to smaller ones using the principle of mass conservation for a steady system,

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Air at a pressure of 1atm and a temperature of 40 c is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 120 c. the plate has a length of 0.40m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.15m. the reynolds number based on the plate length is 50, 000. what is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? if the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm what is the rate of heat transfer?
