Direction: In two air standard cycles - one operating in the Otto and the other on the Brayton cycle - air is isentropically compressed from 300 to 450 K. Heat is added to raise the temperature to 600 K in the Otto cycle and to 550 K in the Brayton cycle.

  1. In η0 and ηb are the efficiencies of the Otto and Brayton cycles, then
    1. η0 = 0.25,ηb = 0.18
    2. η0 = ηb = 0.33
    3. η0 = 0.5, ηb= 0.45
    4. it is not possible to calculate the efficiencies unless the temperature after the expansion is given
Correct Option: B

η0 = η0 = 1 -
T1
= 1 -
300
= 1.3
T2450

=
150
= 0.333
450

[ ηB = η0 = 33.3% ]
