Practice Problems Gas and Power Cycles

This document provides 7 practice problems related to gas and vapor power cycles: 1. A spark ignition engine operating at 200oC and 200 kPa with 1000 kJ/kg work output. Calculate maximum efficiency and mean effective pressure. 2. A diesel cycle operating at 200oC and 200 kPa with 1000 kJ/kg work output. Calculate efficiency, compare to Otto cycle operating at same maximum pressure. 3. For an air turbine with 5 pressure ratio and 850oC maximum temperature, calculate back work ratio and efficiency. 4. For an engine operating from 20oC intake to 1500oC maximum, calculate heat supplied, efficiency, and power output at 4000 rpm.

Deadline of Submission: June 10, 2023 (Saturday)
1. A spark ignition engine is proposed to have a compression ratio of 10 while operating with a low
temperature of 200ºC and a low pressure of 200 kPa. If the work output is 1000 kJ/kg, calculate the
(a) maximum possible thermal efficiency and the (b) mean effective pressure.

2. A diesel cycle, with a compression ratio of 18 operate on air with a low pressure of 200 kPa and a
low temperature of 200ºC. If the work output is 1,000 kJ/kg, determine the thermal efficiency and
the MEP. Also, compare with the efficiency of an Otto Cycle operating with the same maximum
pressure.

3. Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine at 100 kPa and 25ºC. For a pressure ratio of 5 and a
maximum temperature of 850ºC, determine the back work ratio and the thermal efficiency using the
Brayton Cycle.

4. A six-cylinder engine with a compression ration of 8 and a total volume at Top dead center of 600
mL intakes atmospheric air at 20°C. The maximum temperature during a cycle is 1500°C. Assuming
an Otto Cycle, calculate the heat supplied per cycle, (b) thermal efficiency and (c) power output for
4,000 rpm.

5. A diesel engine intakes atmospheric air at 60°F and adds 800 BTU/lbm of energy. If the maximum
pressure is 1200 psia, calculate the (a) cutoff ratio, (b) thermal efficiency and (c) power output for
an airflow of 0.2 lbm/sec.

6. Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine at 85 kPa and 0°C. If the pressure ratio is 6 and the
maximum temperature is 1000°C, find (a) the thermal efficiency and (b) back work ratio for the
associated Brayton cycle.

7. A Rankine Cycle operates between pressures of 2 MPa and 10 kPa with a maximum temperature of
600°C. If the insulated turbine has an efficiency of 80%, calculate the cycle efficiency and the
temperature of the steam at the turbine outlet.

8. Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters
the turbine at 10 MPa and 500ºC and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Show the
cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the quality of the steam at
the turbine exit, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and (c) the mass flow rate of the steam.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Practice solving these problems, as if you are already taking your Final Exam.
