300C at the beginning of compression stroke. At the end of compression stroke, the pressure is 11
bars. 210 kJ of heat added is at constant volume. Determine (i) Pressures, temperatures and
volumes at salient point in the cycle,(ii) Percentage of clearance (iii) Efficiency (iv) Mean effective
pressure (v) Ideal power developed by the engine if the number of working cycle per minute is 210.
(ii) Define mean effective pressure? Give its expression and state its significance.
