QUESTION:

At the beginning of the compression process of an air- standard Otto cycle, \(p_{1}=100 \mathrm{kPa} \text { and } T_{1}=300 \mathrm{~K}\). The heat addition per unit mass of air is 1350 kJ/kg. Plot each of the following versus compression ratio ranging from 1 to 12: (a) the net work, in kJ/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, (c) the mean effective pressure, in kPa, (d) the maximum temperature of the cycle, in K.
