9-54 Problem 9-53 is reconsidered. The effect of the compression ratio on the net work output, mean effective
pressure, and thermal efficiency is to be investigated. Also, T–s and P–
v
diagrams for the cycle are to be plotted.
Analysis Using EES, the problem is solved as follows:
Procedure QTotal(q_12,q_23,q_34,q_41: q_in_total,q_out_total)
n=1.35
{r_comp = 20}
R=0.287 [kJ/kg-K]
V[2] = V[1]/ r_comp
“Conservation of energy for process 1 to 2″
q_12 – w_12 = DELTAu_12
q_12 =0“isentropic process”
P[3]/P[4] =(V[4]/V[3])^n
s[4]=entropy(air,T=T[4],P=P[4])
P[4]*v[4]=R*T[4]
“Conservation of energy for process 3 to 4″
q_34 – w_34 = DELTAu_34 “q_34 is not 0 for the ploytropic process”
