Subtopic: Thermodynamic cycles of IC engines

Question Statement:

In the Diesel cycle P-v diagram, an engine has net work output $W_{\text{net}} = 650\text{ J/cycle}$ and displacement volume $V_s = 0.0008\text{ m}^3$. Calculate the indicated mean effective pressure ($p_{mi}$) in $\text{kPa}$ (round off to the nearest integer).

Answer Key:

813

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$p_{mi} = \frac{W_{\text{net}}}{V_s} = \frac{650}{0.0008} = 812500\text{ Pa} = 812.5\text{ kPa} \approx 813\text{ kPa}$.
