    Which one of the following cycles working within the same temperature limits has the highest work ratio?

    A) Carnot cycle                  

    B) Joule cycle       

    C) Otto cycle                     

    D) Rankine cycle.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[Work\,\,ratio=\,\,\frac{Work\,\,of\,\,Expan\operatorname{sion}\,\,-\,\,Work\,\,of\,\,compression}{Work\,\,of\,\,\exp ansion}\]\[Carnot:\,\,{{R}_{w}}=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\] \[Joule:\,\,{{R}_{w}}=1-\frac{1}{{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)}^{\frac{\gamma }{\gamma \,\,-\,\,1}}}}\] \[Otto:\,\,{{R}_{w}}=1-\frac{1}{{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{\gamma \,\,-\,\,1}}}}\] \[Rankine:\,\,{{R}_{w}}=\frac{{{w}_{t}}-{{w}_{p}}}{{{w}_{t}}}=\frac{\left( {{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}} \right)-\left( {{h}_{f4}}-{{h}_{f3}} \right)}{{{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{f4}}}\]
