How is the rpm (revolutions per minute) of an actual four-stroke gasoline engine related to the number of thermodynamic cycles? What would your answer be for a two-stroke engine?
Adi S.
A four-stroke engine runs on the Otto cycle. It delivers 150 hp at 3600 rpm. (a) How many cycles are in 1 min? (b) If the thermal efficiency of the engine is $20 \%$ what is the heat input per minute? (c) How much heat is wasted (per minute) to the environment?
