In a C.I. engine working on the dual combustion cycle the compression ratio
is 12.5:1. Air at 101.3kPa and 35°C is compressed adiabatically.
Fuel is then added until the pressure reaches 4000kPa, then at constant
pressure to a temperature of 1425°C.
After adiabatic expansion to the initial volume exhaust takes place.
Calculate:
(a). work done/kg air
(b). thermal efficiency
