    This document contains 6 problems related to analyzing air-standard and ideal Brayton cycles. Problem 1 asks to determine efficiency, heat added, maximum pressure and temperature for an air-standard dual cycle operating at 80 kPa and 20C initially. Problem 2 asks to determine efficiency for an ideal dual cycle operating between 14.7 psia and 120F initially and adding 0.6 Btu at constant volume and 1.1 Btu at constant pressure. Problem 3 asks to determine the fraction of heat added at constant volume and efficiency for an ideal dual cycle operating between 100 kPa and 300K initially and 2200K maximum, adding 1520.4 kJ/kg total heat.

    MACHINE PROBLEMS 2 Submission on November 6, 2017

    1. An air-standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 14 and a cutoff ratio of 1.2. The pressure ratio
    during the constant-volume heat addition process is 1.5. Determine the thermal efficiency, amount of heat
    added, the maximum gas pressure and temperature when this cycle is operated at 80 kPa and 20oC at the
    beginning of the compression. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.

    2. An ideal dual cycle has a compression ratio of 14 and uses air as the working fluid. At the beginning of
    the compression process, air is at 14.7 psia and 120oF, and occupies a volume of 98 in3. During the heat-
    addition process, 0.6 Btu of heat is transferred to air at constant volume and 1.1 Btu at constant pressure.
    Using constant specific heats evaluated at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

    3. The compression ratio of an ideal dual cycle is 14. Air is at 100 kPa and 300 K at the beginning of the
    compression process and at 2200 K at the end of the heat-addition process. Heat transfer to air takes place
    partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure, and it amounts to 1520.4 kJ/kg. Assuming
    variable specific heats for air, determine (a) the fraction of heat transferred at constant volume and (b) the
    thermal efficiency of the cycle.

    4. An ideal diesel engine has a compression ratio of 20 and uses air as the working fluid. The state of air at
    the beginning of the compression process is 95 kPa and 20oC. If the maximum temperature in the cycle is
    not to exceed 2200 K, determine (a) the thermal efficiency and (b) the mean effective pressure. Assume
    constant specific heats for air at room temperature.

    5. An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 17 and a cutoff ratio of 1.3. Determine the maximum
    temperature of the air and the rate of heat addition to this cycle when it produces 140 kW of power and the
    state of the air at the beginning of the compression is 90 kPa and 57oC. Use constant specific heats at
    room temperature.

    6. An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 18.2. Air is at 120oF and 14.7 psia at the
    beginning of the compression process and at 3200 R at the end of the heat addition process. Accounting
    for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine (a) the cutoff ratio, (b) the heat rejection per
    unit mass, and (c) the thermal efficiency.
