Zero is not the right answer.

V2/V1 is the cut off ratio. If it is zero, there is no meaning in it. In diesel cycle heat addition is done in the isobaric process (V2/V1). If that to be changed to isochoric process (V2/V1), it should be 1. Hence it is V1=V2.

Cut off ratio is the ratio of cylinder volumes after and before the combustion process. So, obviously, the ratio should be greater than zero.

When the cut-off ratio is 1 the efficiency of diesel cycle approaches to that of otyo cycle.

The Answer is correct.

Cut off ratio is inversely proportional to efficiency. And when it become zero efficiencies of diesel engine equal to that of a petrol engine.

Definitely, the answer is zero. It cannot be 1, because if 1 is inserted in an equation of efficiency of diesel cycle.

It becomes indeterminate numbers.

Right answer is Option D, because cutt-off ratio equal to 1 put in equation then the efficiency of Diesel cycle approaches to Otto cycle efficiency.

Cut off ratio is should be 1. Then only diesel cycle approaches to Otto cycle efficiency. Cut off and cut off ratio both are different.

Otto cycle has more efficiency than diesel one, when cutoff ratio avoids diesel cycle reaches approx to otto.

How the volume can be zero. If not then How the Division of Non zero value can be Zero. It should be 1.

Cut off should be zero, and if we talk about cutoffs ratio it should be 1.

Vinay said:   5 years ago
Cut off should be zero, and if we talk about cutoffs ratio it should be 1.
