Chapter 20, Problem 21P
(III) In an engine that approximates the Otto cycle (Fig. 20–8), gasoline vapor must be ignited at the end of the cylinder’s adiabatic compression by the spark from a spark plug. The ignition temperature of 87-octane gasoline vapor is about 430°C and, assuming that the working gas is diatomic and enters the cylinder at 25°C, determine the maximum compression ratio of the engine.
