The indicated power developed by an engine with compression ratio of $8$, is calculated using an air-standard Otto cycle (constant properties). The rate of heat addition is $10\: kW$. The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume is $1.4$. The ... efficiency of the engine is $80$ percent. The brake power output of the engine is _________$kW$ (round off to one decimal place).
The figure shows a heat engine (HE) working between two reservoirs. The amount of heat $(Q_2)$ rejected by the heat engine is drawn by a heat pump (HP). The heat pump receives the entire work output $(W)$ of the heat engine. If temperatures, $T_1 >T_3>T_2$ ... $\text{COP}= 1 + \eta$ $\text{COP}= \eta^{-1}$ $\text{COP}= \eta^{-1} -1$
An air standard Otto cycle has thermal efficiency of $0.5$ and the mean effective pressure of the cycle is $1000 \: kPa$. For air, assume specific heat ratio $\gamma=1.4$ and specific gas constant $R=0.287 \: kJ/kg \cdot K$. If the pressure and temperature at the ... and $300 \: K$, respectively, then the specific net work output of the cycle is _____ $kJ/kg$ (round off to two decimal places).
The torque (in $N$-$m$) exerted on the crank shaft of a two stroke engine can be described as $T = 10000 + 1000 \sin(2θ) − 1200 \cos(2θ)$, where $θ$ is the crank angle as measured from inner dead center position. Assuming the resisting torque to be constant, the power (in $kW$) developed by the engine at $100$ $rpm$ is ________
A Carnot engine ($CE_1$) works between two temperature reservoirs $A$ and $B$, where $T_A$ = $900$ $K$ and $T_B$ = $500$ $K$. A second Carnot engine ($CE_2$) works between temperature reservoirs $B$ and $C$, where $T_C$ = $300$ $K$. In each cycle of $CE_1$ and ... $Q$ absorbed by $CE_1$ from reservoir $A$ is $150$ $MJ$, the net heat rejected to reservoir $C$ by $CE_2$ (in $MJ$) is ______________
In a compression ignition engine, the inlet air pressure is $1$ bar and the pressure at the end of isentropic compression is $32.42$ bar. The expansion ratio is $8$. Assuming ratio of specific heats $(γ)$ as $1.4$, the air standard efficiency (in percent) is _______
