What is compression ratio of an Otto cycle? How does it affect the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Compression ratio:
Compression ratio is the ratio of volume in the cylinder.Generally it is denoted by r.
The compression ratio for Otto cycle is about 8 to 12.But the compression ratio of diesel engine is about 14 to 25.
So from the Otto cycle compression ratio can be define as
As we know that efficiency defines as the ratio of work out to the heat input.In the Otto cycle the efficiency is given as in terms of compression ratio r as
Where γ is the heat capacity ratio.

Answer:
The answer to the question is
The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ
Explanation:
To solve the question, we list out the variables thus
R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane
Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C
Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa
For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m
ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂
For constant pressure process we have
Work done = W = = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)
From the tables we have
State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg
State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg
Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)
= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ
