An Otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8.2. The ambient temperature is 298K. The maximum temperature of the Otto cycle is 2000K. Under cold air standard conditions, the thermal efficiency of this cycle is ____

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is "57%".

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature:

[tex]T_a = 298 \ K[/tex]

[tex]T_3 = 2000 \ K[/tex]

Compression ratio (r),

= [tex]8.2[/tex]

For Otto cycle, the thermal efficiency will be:

⇒ [tex]\eta =1-\frac{1}{(r)^{\nu-1}}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

       [tex]=1-\frac{1}{(8.2)^{1.4-1}}[/tex]

       [tex]=1-\frac{1}{(8.2)^{0.4}}[/tex]

       [tex]=57[/tex] (%)
