Section 3: Farm Power

Farm Power

Subtopic: I.C. engine cycles

Question Statement:

For the same compression ratio $r$ and identical heat input, comparing air-standard efficiencies of Otto, Diesel, and Dual cycles:

Options:

  • (A) $\eta_{\text{Otto}} > \eta_{\text{Dual}} > \eta_{\text{Diesel}}$
  • (B) $\eta_{\text{Diesel}} > \eta_{\text{Dual}} > \eta_{\text{Otto}}$
  • (C) $\eta_{\text{Dual}} > \eta_{\text{Otto}} > \eta_{\text{Diesel}}$
  • (D) $\eta_{\text{Otto}} = \eta_{\text{Diesel}} = \eta_{\text{Dual}}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Constant volume heat rejection is smaller in Otto cycle than constant pressure heat addition in Diesel, making $\eta_{\text{Otto}} > \eta_{\text{Dual}} > \eta_{\text{Diesel}}$.
