Day 6 Lab

The Diesel Cycle

In this case of the lab blog we placed the image of a complete Diesel cycle after the quiz on Wednesday. There are many cycles in which we should know and practice the relationship with the ideal gas law to know how to solve the values.
This is the diesel cycle completed with the values of P, V, T and also the heat(Q) and the work. Now with the addition of entropy we could calculated any value unless its an adiabatic process. In the end I calculated the total efficiency of the cycle which turned out to be the value of 62.47%.



The image above shows the calculations of each point and transitions to find the appropriate values in which the end of the cycle we want delta U to be zero or close as zero. However, for the values that we received was 2.2 for the total cycle and the efficiency we got around 62.47%.
