An ideal Diesel cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 2

Question

An ideal Diesel cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 20 and a cutoff ratio of 1.3.This cylce produces 280kW of power. If the temperature of the air is 20 Cat the beginning of the compression process, determine:

a. The thermal efficiency of the cycle

b. Tmax of the air

c. The rate of heat addition, in kW.

(Apply cold-air standard assumptions)

I have a. and c. figured out but I can't get part b. If anyone can very clearly show me how to do it and not just give me an answer, I'll rate highly.

Explanation / Answer

FindersKeepers, how did you find the rate of heat adition, in kW?
