I have identified my assigned laboratory section time. 

The advantages of the paralleling technique outweigh the disadvantages

Problem 1: Part B An Otto cycle begins with 8.5 L of air at 300 K, 1 bar. The clearance volume is 0.5 L, and the maximum temperature is 1800 K. You may interpolate if the difference between the two numbers is 0.1 or less   Complete the T-S diagram for the cycle by denoting where states 1, 2, 3, and 4 are:     Submit your completed diagram in your partial work submission. There is no file upload here.   As a placeholder, type “thermodynamics” in the blank.

Problem 2: Part A A Diesel cycle begins with 10 L of air at 300 K, 1 bar. The cycle operates with a compression ratio of 23.25 and a maximum temperature of 2050 K. You may interpolate if the difference between the two numbers is 0.1 or less    On an air-standard basis, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle (%)

Write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences describing what you are doing right now. Talk about what you see and the activities you are doing. Use vocabulary from this lesson, and write your sentences using only the present tense and present progressive tense. (2 points per sentence.) You must use only vocabulary and grammar points from Chapters 1–5. If you use vocabulary or grammar that we have not learned or covered in class, you will receive zero (0) points for that sentence. á é í ó ú ñ ¿ Á É Í Ó Ú Ñ ¡

Problem 2: Part C A Diesel cycle begins with 10 L of air at 300 K, 1 bar. The cycle operates with a compression ratio of 23.25 and a maximum temperature of 2050 K. You may interpolate if the difference between the two numbers is 0.1 or less   Complete the P-V diagram for the cycle by denoting where states 1, 2, 3, and 4 are:   Submit your completed diagram in your partial work submission. There is no file upload here.   As a placeholder, type “thermodynamics” in the blank.
