An engine runs on the ideal diesel cycle. the cycle has a compression ratio of 20 and a cutoff ratio of 2. the highest temperature in the cycle is 1200 k. if the heat into the system is 300 kj/kg of working fluid and using variable specific heats determine the work produced per mass of working fluid

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]
