Section 3: Farm Power

Sources of Power

Subtopic: Thermodynamic cycles of IC engines

Question Statement:

Referring to the Diesel cycle P-v diagram, the initial pressure $p_1 = 100\text{ kPa}$. If $r = 15$ and $\gamma = 1.4$, determine the maximum cycle pressure $p_2 = p_3$ in $\text{MPa}$ (round off to two decimal places).

Answer Key:

4.43

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$p_2 = p_1 (r)^\gamma = 100 \times (15)^{1.4} = 100 \times 44.31 = 4431\text{ kPa} = 4.43\text{ MPa}$.
