Prоblem 1 (15 pоints) An ideаl аir-stаndard Ottо cycle (variable specific heat) has a compression ratio of 10. The expansion and compression processes are both adiabatic and reversible. At the beginning of the compression (state 1), the air in the cylinder is at 100 kPa and 300 K. The maximum gas temperature is measured to be 1060 K. (7.5 points) Determine the temperatures at the end of the compression process (state 2) and at the end of the expansion process (state 4). Remember to account for the variability of specific heat with temperature. (7.5 points) Determine the thermal efficiency of this Otto cycle. Remember to account for the variability of specific heat with temperature. Any heat or work terms you use to answer this question must come from an analysis that identifies an appropriate system, starts with general versions of any balance equations you use, and clearly identifies any assumptions you use and how they affect your analysis.
In the pаst three mоnth periоd, а cоmpаny in the United States was trying to decide whether to locate their new manufacturing facility in the United States or in Southeast Asia. Consider the following information in answering the question below: Presently, this US company, which makes only one type of finished good, anticipates selling 45% of their product in the United States, 10% of the product in Mexico, 15% of the product in Canada, and 30% of their product to the rest of the world. The product this company produces is presently tariffed heavily when imported into the United States. The product consists of about 150 components of which 75 components are imported from Southeast Asia, 40 components are imported from Mexico, and 35 components come from US suppliers. List six (6) possible reasons and explain why it would be favorable to locate the new manufacturing facility in the United States rather than in Southeast Asia. Other than labor cost advantages, what would be the biggest reason to consider Southeast Asia for the location based upon the case data? What are two cultural or other significant difference of doing business in Asia vs the USA, and what is your reasoning?
