An engine working on air standard Otto cycle has a cylinder diameter of 10 cm and stroke length of 15 cm. The ratio of specific heats for air is 1.4. If the clearance volume is 196.3 cc and the heat supplied per kg of air per cycle is 1800 kJ/kg, the work output per cycle per kg of air is
-
- 879.1 kJ
- 890.2 kJ
- 895.3 kJ
- 973.5 kJ
- 879.1 kJ
Correct Option: D
Given: Vc = V2 = 196.3 cm3 = 0.0001963 m3 stroke
volume Vs = | D2 × L = | (10)2 × 15 = 1178.09 cc | ||
4 | 4 |

Compression ratio, r = | ||
Vc |
Compression ratio, r = | = 7 | |
196.3 |
ηotto = 1 - | ||
rγ - 1 |
ηotto = 1 - | ||
(7)1.4 - 1 |
ηotto = 1 - | = 0.5408 | |
(7)0.4 |
Now ,
ηotto = | = | |||
Heat supplied | Qs |
0.5408 = | ⇒ work output = 973.5 kJ | |
