A cylinder of an internal combustion engine contains 3000 cm3 of gaseous products at a pressure of 10 bars and a temperature of 800oC just before the exhaust valve opens. Determine:
(a) The specific energy (ɸ) of the gas and
(b) The energy stored (Φ) in the cylinder. Model the combustion products as air, a perfect gas. Take T0 = 25oC, p0 = 1 atm.
(c) What-if Scenario: What would the energy stored in the cylinder be if the ideal gas model were used for air?
