  1. An air-standard Diesel cycle consists of the following processes: 1-2: Air is compressed isentropically. 2-3: Heat is added at constant pressure. 3-4: Air expands isentropically to the original volume. 4-1: Heat is rejected at constant volume. If γ and T denote the specific heat ratio and temperature, respectively, the efficiency of the cycle is
    1. 1 -
      T4 - T1
      T3 - T2
    2. 1 -
      T4 - T1
      γ(T3 - T2)
    3. 1 -
      γ(T4 - T1)
      T3 - T2
    4. 1 -
      T4 - T1
      (γ - 1) (T3 - T2)
Correct Option: B

Heat applied,Qs = cp (T3 – T2)
Heat rejected, Qr = cV (T4 – T1)

η = 1 -
Qr
= 1 -
1
(T4 - T1)
Qsγ(T3 - T2)
