9-174 Problem 9-173 is reconsidered. The effect of the compression ratio net work done and the efficiency of the
cycle is to be investigated. Also, the T–s and P–
v
diagrams for the cycle are to be plotted.
Analysis Using EES, the problem is solved as follows:
“Input Data”
R=0.287 [kJ/kg-K]
“Conservation of energy for process 1 to 2: no heat transfer (s=const.) with work input”
w_in = DELTAu_12
DELTAu_12=intenergy(air,T=T[2])-intenergy(air,T=T[1])
“Process 2-3 is constant volume heat addition”
P[4]*v[4]/T[4]=P[3]*v[3]/T[3]
{P[4]*v[4]=R*T[4]}
“Conservation of energy for process 3 to 4: no heat transfer (s=const) with work output”
– w_out = DELTAu_34
DELTAu_34=intenergy(air,T=T[4])-intenergy(air,T=T[3])
