Example Dual Cycle

This document describes an ideal dual cycle where air is compressed from 100 kPa and 300 K to 2200 K with 1520.4 kJ/kg of heat added partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure. The compression ratio is 14. The document asks to determine the fraction of heat added at constant volume and the thermal efficiency of the cycle assuming variable specific heats for air.

Dual Cycle The compression ratio of an ideal dual cycle is 14.

Air is at 100 kPa and 300 K at the beginning of the compression process and at 2200 K at the end of the heat-addition process. Heat transfer to air takes place partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure, and it amounts to 1520.4 kJ/kg. Assuming variable specific heats for air, determine (a) the fraction of heat transferred at constant volume and (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
