Spark-ignition engine compression-ignition engine
49
in a spark ignition engine, a mixture of ____ and ____ is ignited by a \_\_\_\_\_.

51
In engines, the mean effective pressure is
the theoretical constant pressure that, when acted on by a piston during the power stroke, would produce the same net work as actually developed in one cycle
52
mep=
(net work for one cycle) / (displacement volume)
53
Which energy variables should be used for first law analysis of the “open” (control volume, CV) and “closed” (control mass) thermodynamic cycles?
Enthalpy (H) for open systems and internal energy (U) for closed systems
54
Which of the following statements is not true?
Entropy of a working fluid undergoing a process within a system can only increase.
55
The figure below shows p-v diagram for Carnot cycle. Which one of the following processes are incorrectly matched with what is happening during the process? ## Footnote Process 3-4: Adiabatic Expansion None of the above Process 4-1: Isothermal Compression Process 1-2: Adiabatic Compression Process 2-3: Isothermal Expansion
None of the above
56
Which one of the following options correctly represents the Rankine cycle's thermal efficiency? ## Footnote W\_net/Q\_in 1-(T\_cold/T\_hot) 1-(Q\_out/Q\_in) (h1'-h4)/(h2'-h3)
W\_net/Q\_in or 1-(Q\_out/Q\_in)
57
Which one of the following is true about Otto and Diesel Cycles? ## Footnote Assuming the same compression ratio, Otto cycle is more efficient. Otto cycle is practically more efficient than Diesel cycle The working fluid of both cycles is a mixture of air and fuel that when analyzing cycles, thermal properties of the mixture have to be accounted for. Diesel cycle is more efficient because heat addition occurs at constant pressure instead of at constant volume.
Assuming the same compression ratio, Otto cycle is more efficient.
58
Select all that are true about Air standard assumptions. ## Footnote The working fluid is air and behaves as an ideal gas. The exhaust process is replaced by the heat rejection process. All the process are internally reversible. "Cold air standard assumptions" is just an another name for Air standard assumptions. When analyzing the combustion process, the air standard assumptions cannot be applied because they do not account for any fuel-mixing effect.
The working fluid is air and behaves as an ideal gas. The exhaust process is replaced by the heat rejection process. All the process are internally reversible.
