A diesel engine accomplishes ignition without a spark plug by an adiabatic compression of air to a temperature above the ignition temperature of the diesel fuel, which is injected into the cylinder at the peak of the compression. Suppose air is taken into the cylinder at 286 K and volume V1 and is compressed adiabatically to 690 degree C (approx: 1800 degree F) and volume V2.
Assuming that the air behaves as an ideal gas whose ratio of CP to CV is 1.4, calculate the compression ratio V1 /V2 of the engine.
PLEASE SHOW ALL FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!! PLZZZ HELPP!!!!!!!!
I WILL CHOOSE BEST ANSWER!!!! THANKS!!!!!
