  1. An engine working on air standard Otto cycle is supplied with air at 0.1 MPa and 35°C. The compression ratio is 8. The heat supplied is 500 kJ/kg. Property data for air: cp = 1.005 kJ/ kgK, cv = 0.718 kJ/kgK, R = 0.287 kJ/kgK. The maximum temperature (in K) of the cycle is ________(correct to one decimal place).
    1. 1405
    2. 1503.98
    3. 1403.98
    4. 1403
Correct Option: C

P1 = 0.1 MPa
T1 = 35°C = 35 + 273 = 308 K

Heat Supplied Qs = Cv (T3 – T2)
Cv (T3 – T2) = 500 kJ/kg ..............(i)

Given,
V2
γ - 1=
T1
V1T2

1
1.4 - 1=
308
= 707.60K
8T2

⇒ T2 = 707.60 K
After putting the value of T2 is equation(i):-
0.718 (T3 – 707.6) = 500
⇒ T3 = 1403.98 K
