Solution
The assumptions made when modelling an IC engine as a cold-air Otto Cycle are:
a. Working fluid is air (only): This is correct. The working fluid in an Otto cycle is assumed to be air which is taken in, compressed, ignited, and exhausted.
b. Working fluid circulates in a closed loop: This is correct. In an Otto cycle, the working fluid (air) is assumed to circulate in a closed loop, returning to its initial state at the end of each cycle.
c. Exhaust is represented by a heat rejection process: This is correct. The exhaust process in an Otto cycle is modeled as a heat rejection process.
d. Expansion and compression processes are isothermal: This is incorrect. In an Otto cycle, the compression and expansion processes are adiabatic, not isothermal.
e. Working fluid maintains a constant Cp and Cv: This is correct. In the Otto cycle, specific heats at constant pressure (Cp) and constant volume (Cv) are assumed to be constant.
