It is desired to increase the output of an engine operating on the constant-volume air cycle by either raising the compression ratio from 6 to 8 (procedure 1) or increasing the inlet pressure from 1.0 bar to 1.38 bar (procedure 2). Assuming that the total amount of heat addition during the cycle per kg of air is 420 kJ/kg, which procedure will give:The highest thermal efficiency?The highest mep?
