8.12 (a) Because Eq. (8.7) for the efficiency ηDiesel includes the expansion ratio, r e ≡ V B / V A, we relate

this quantity to the compression ratio, r ≡ V C / V D, and the Diesel cutoff ratio, r c ≡ V A/ V D. Since

V C = V B , r e = V C / V A. Whence,

Taylor’s theorem with remainder, taken to the 1st derivative, is written:

g = g(1) + g(1) · ( x − 1) +R

where, R ≡g[1 + θ ( x − 1)]

Then, x a= 1 + a · ( x − 1) +

a · (a − 1) · [1 + θ ( x − 1)]a−2· ( x − 1)2

Note that the final term is R. For a > 1 and x > 1, R > 0. Therefore:

x a > 1 + a · ( x − 1) x a− 1 > a · ( x − 1)

8.15 See the figure below. In the regenerative heat exchanger, the air temperature is raised in step B → B∗,

while the air temperature decreases in step D → D∗. Heat addition (replacing combustion) is in step

B∗→ C .

By definition, η ≡−W AB − W C D

Q B∗C

where, W AB = ( H B − H A) = C P (T B − T A)

W C D = ( H D − H C ) = C P (T D − T C )

Q B∗C = C P (T C − T B∗ ) = C P (T C − T D)

Whence, η =T A − T B + T C − T D

T C − T D= 1 −

8.21 We give first a general treatment of paths on a P T diagram for an ideal gas with constant heat capacities

undergoing reversible polytropic processes. Equation (3.35c), p. 78, may be rewritten as

For a constant-V process, P varies with T in accord with the ideal-gas law: P = RT / V or P = K T

With respect to the initial equation, P = K T δ/(δ−1), this requires δ = ∞. Moreover, d P/d T = K

and d 2 P/d T 2 = 0. Thus a constant-V process is represented on a P T diagram as part of a straight

line passing through the origin. The slope K is determined by the initial P T coordinates.

For a reversible adiabatic process (an isentropic process), δ = γ . In this case Eqs. ( A) and ( B) become:

We note here that γ/(γ − 1) and γ/(γ − 1)2 are both > 1. Thus in relation to a constant-V process

the isentropic process is represented by a line of greater slope and greater curvature for the same T and P . Lines characteristic of the various processes are shown on the following diagram.
