Section 3: Farm Power

Farm Power

Subtopic: Dual Cycle

Question Statement:

For the same maximum cylinder pressure and maximum temperature, the correct order of thermal efficiency among air standard cycles is:

Options:

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

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

When maximum pressure and temperature are capped (as in realistic diesel engines to avoid mechanical failure), heat rejection is minimized in the Diesel cycle, resulting in $\eta_{Diesel} > \eta_{Dual} > \eta_{Otto}$.
