An engine operates on the theoretical diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 15. the heat addition (combustion) process corresponds to 10% of the stroke. the pressure and temperature of air at the beginning of compression (state 1) are 98 kpa and 17oc. on a cold air-standard basis, the thermal efficiency of the diesel cycle can be expressed as:
