Work Step by Step

The specific volume of the air at the start of the compression is $$ v_1=\frac{R T_1}{P}-\frac{\left(0.287 \mathrm{kPa} \cdot \mathrm{m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K} \times 253 \mathrm{~K}\right)}{80 \mathrm{kPa}}=0.9076 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} $$ and the specific volume at the end of the compression is $$ v_2=\frac{v_1}{r}=\frac{0.9076 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}}{14}=0.06483 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} $$ The pressure at the end of the compression is $$ P_2=P\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^t=P_1 r^t=(80 \mathrm{NPa})(14)^{1 .+}-3219 \mathrm{kPa} $$ and the maximum pressure is $$ P_x=P_3=r_P P_2=(1.5)(3219 \mathrm{kPa})=4829\ \mathrm{kPa} $$ The temperatare at the end of the compression is $$ \begin{aligned} & T_2=T_1\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^{k-1}-T_1 r^{k-1}=(253 \mathrm{~K})(14)^{\gamma^{-4-1}}=727.1 \mathrm{~K} \\ & \text { and } T_x=T_2\left(\frac{P_2}{P_2}\right)=(727 . \mathrm{K} \mathrm{K})\left(\frac{4 \times 29 \mathrm{kPa}}{3219 \mathrm{LPa}}\right)=1091 \mathrm{~K} \end{aligned} $$ From the definition of cutoff ratio $$ \left.v_3=r_2 v_x=r_2 v_2=(1.2) 0.06483 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}\right)=0.07780\ \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} $$ The remaining state temperabures are then $$ \begin{aligned} & T_3=T_4\left(\frac{v_3}{v_x}\right)-(1091 \mathrm{~K})\left(\frac{0.07790}{0.06483}\right)=1309 \mathrm{~K} \\ & T_4=T_3\left(\frac{v_3}{v_4}\right)^{t-1}=(1309 \mathrm{~K})\left(\frac{0.07780}{0.9076}\right)^{1.4-1}=490.0 \mathrm{~K} \end{aligned} $$ Applying the first law and work expression to the heat addition peocesses gives $$ \begin{aligned} \_{\mathrm{m}} & =c_v\left(T_x-T_2\right)+c_p\left(T_3-T_x\right) \\ & =(0.718 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})(109 \mathrm{l}-727.1) \mathrm{K}+(1.005 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})(1.309-1091) \mathrm{K} \\ & =480.4 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \end{aligned} $$ The hear rejected is $$ q_{\text {out }}=c_v\left(T_4-T_i\right)=(0.718 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})(4900-253) \mathrm{K}=170.2 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} $$
