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 ...

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 rec...

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 $\gamma=1.4$...

A piston-cylinder device initially contains $0.4 \: m^3$ of air (to be treated as an ideal gas) at $100 \: kPa$ and $80^ \circ C$. The air is now isothermally compressed ...

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...

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 betwee...

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 $8$. Assu...

A diesel engine has a compression ratio of $17$ and cut-off takes place at $10\%$ of the stroke.Assuming ratio of specific heats $(\gamma)$ as $1.4$, the air-standard eff...

Which one of the following pairs of equations describes an irreversible heat engine?$\oint \delta Q 0$ and $\oint \dfrac{\delta Q}{T} < 0 \\$$\oint \delta Q< 0$ and $\oin...
