According to me, (D) 1 is the right answer.

Vishnu said:   8 years ago
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.

Anurup said:   8 years ago
Answer is cut off is zero and cut off ratio is 1.

Waseem said:   8 years ago
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.

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

Sai kumar kakaraparthi said:   8 years ago
The cut-off ratio is never be 0.

Vijay said:   7 years ago
Cut-off ratio is 1 cut-off 0.

Sarath mohan said:   6 years ago
Cutoff ratio never falls to 0. So, the answer should be 1.

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