An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of 2. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine the total irreversibility (or lost work). Assume a source temperature is 2000 K and a sink temperature is 300 K. Show solution step by step.
