An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C, and 750 kJ/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. Taking into account the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.

Part A) 3899 kPa

Part B) 392.33 kJ/kg

Part C) 0.523

Part D) 495 kPa

Explanation:

Part A

First from the temperature at state 1 the relative specific volume and the internal energy at that state are determined from:

$u_{1}$ = 214.07 kJ/kg

$\alpha$ $r_{1}$ = 621.2

The relative specific volume at state 2 is obtained from the compression ratio:

$\alpha$ $r_{2}$ = $\frac{\alpha r_{1} }{r}$

=621.2/ 8

= 77.65

From this the temperature and internal energy at state 2 can be determined using interpolation with data from A-17(table):

$T_{2}$ = 673 K

$u_{2}$ = 491.2 kJ/kg

The pressure at state 2 can be determined by manipulating the ideal gas relations at state 1 and 2:

$P_{2}$ = $P_{1} r\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} }$

= 95*8*673/300

= 1705 kPa

Now from the energy balance for stage 2-3 the internal energy at state 3 can be obtained:

$deltau_{2-3} =q_{in}\\ u_{3} -u_{2} =q_{in}\\u_{3}=u_{2}+q_{in}$

= 1241.2 kJ/kg

From this the temperature and relative specific volume at state 3 can be determined by interpolation with data from A-17(table):

$T_{3}$ = 1539 K

$\alpha r_{3}$ = 6.588

The pressure at state 3 can be obtained by manipulating the ideal gas relations for state 2 and 3:

$P_{3} =P_{2} \frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} }$

= 3899 kPa

Part B

The relative specific volume at state 4 is obtained from the compression ratio:

$\alpha r_{4}= r\alpha r_{3}$

= 52.7

From this the temperature and internal energy at state 4 can be determined by interpolation with data from A-17:

$T_{4}$ =775 K

$u_{4}$ = 571.74 kJ/kg

The net work output is the difference of the heat input and heat rejection where the heat rejection is determined from the decrease in internal energy in stage 4-1:

$w=q_{in}-q_{out}\\q_{in}-(u_{4} -u_{1} )\\=392.33 kJ/kg$

Part C

The thermal efficiency is obtained from the work and the heat input:

η= $\frac{w}{q_{in} }$

=0.523

Part D

The mean effective pressure is determined from its standard relation:

MEP= $\frac{w}{\alpha_{1}- \alpha_{2} }$

= $\frac{w}{\alpha_{1}(1- \frac{1}{r} }$

= $\frac{rwP_{1} }{RT_{1} (r-1) }$

=495 kPa

“other instruments such as gravimeters and magnetometers are also used in the search for petroleum. extracting crude oil normally starts with drilling wells into an underground reservoir. when an oil well has been tapped, a geologist (known on the rig as the "mudlogger") will note its presence. “ this is what i found on google i hope it
