Assuming constant specific heats and using the Otto cycle as a model, determine the following quantities:
An old V-8 spark-ignition engine has a 4-in-diameter cylinder and a 4- in-long stroke. The intake conditions are atmospheric (70 F and 14.7 psia). The engine has a compression ratio of 9. (See Appendix 1A to review the geometrical relationships.) The peak cycle temperature is 4000 F. Assuming constant specific heats and using the Otto … Read more
