You may complete this assignment individually, or with anyone in your assigned group. Please include both your team number and the ME-IDs of all students who contributed to it. Your team number will only be used to return the assignment to you in your file folder.
1. The minimum enclosed volume (at TDC) in a single-cylinder four-cycle Diesel engine is 5.5% of the maximum enclosed volume (at BDC). The cylinder contains 10 g of gas. The gas is at 27 C at 100 kPa at the beginning of the compression process and at 1400 C at the end of the heat addition process. a. Draw the process on P-V and T-S diagrams. b. Determine the cutoff ratio (see Section 9-6) c. Determine the power output of the engine in horsepower if it turns at 1800 rpm.
1 to 2 = isentropic compression

(27+273)*(1/0.055)^0.4=957.1416

2 to 3 = constant pressure heat addition

(1400+273) / 960=1.7427

1673*(1.743*0.055)^0.4=654.8774

1.005*(1673-960) - 0.718*(655-300)=461.675

1800/60 * 1/2 * 462 * 0.010 * 1000 * 1/745.7 = 92.9328

2. A jet aircraft flies 30,000 feet above the ground at Mach 0.95. The air pressure and temperature are 30 kPa and 30F. The pressure ratio across the engine's compressor is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 2100F. 135 lbm/s of air enters the engine. Calculate (a) the velocity of exhaust gasses, (b) the thrust the engine is producing and (c) the mass of jet fuel burned per second. You'll need the fuel's heating value. Search for "heating value Jet A kJ/kg" or something similar for JP-8 (military grade jet fuel).

(460-30)*13^(0.4/1.4)=894.8247 894.8247-460=434.8247

135*0.25*(2100-435)=56193.75

(2100+460)*(1/13)^(0.4/1.4)=1230.185 1230-460=770

sqrt(2*0.25*(1635-770)*25037)=3291 ft/s

135*(3291-1126)/32.2=9076.8634

3. A helicopter engine is shown. The compressor and turbine are adiabatic and reversible, but the power turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 90%. The exhaust has negligible kinetic energy. a. Calculate the horsepower of the power turbine and the temperature of the exhaust. b. Draw the process on P-V and T-S diagrams. Make this a quantitative diagram, with numbers.

Hint: use array variables in EES (notation like T[1], s[1], T[2], s[2], etc.). When you run the code it will generate a table of values. Create your property diagrams for air using the Property Plot button . Once youve make it,

click the Overlay Plot button . Use the menu that appears to plot your data on the diagrams. Print that out, draw lines between the points, and youre done.
