A gasoline engine has a compression ratio of 6.00 and uses a gas for which y = 1.40. (a) What is the efficiency (b) What If? If the actual efficiency is 15.0%, what fraction of the fuel is wasted as a result of friction and energy losses by heat that could by avoided in a reversible engine? (Assume complete combustion of the air–fuel mixture.) Download free solution (doc) |
