An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of 2.5. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, plot the cycle on P-v and T-s diagrams and then determine:- (a) the temperature after the heat-addition process, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the mean effective pressure.
