Let's break down the problem:
**Given:**
- Indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) = 650 kPa = 650,000 Pa
- Air is compressed from 32 dm³ to 3 dm³ (that's V₁ = 32 dm³, V₂ = 3 dm³)
- Density of air = 1.2 kg/m³
**To Find:**
Net work output of the cycle.
### Step 1: Convert Volumes to m³
- V₁ = 32 dm³ = 32 × 10⁻³ m³ = 0.032 m³
- V₂ = 3 dm³ = 3 × 10⁻³ m³ = 0.003 m³
### Step 2: Find the Net Work Output
The net work output per cycle for an engine is given by:
\[
W_{net} = \text{IMEP} \times (V_1 - V_2)
\]
\[
W_{net} = 650,000 \times (0.032 - 0.003)
\]
\[
W_{net} = 650,000 \times 0.029
\]
\[
W_{net} = 18,850 \text{ J}
\]
### Step 3: Adjust for Mass of Air
Since the density of air is provided, we need to find the mass of air in the cylinder and multiply the work output per cycle by this mass.
- Mass of air = density × volume = 1.2 kg/m³ × 0.032 m³ = 0.0384 kg
But, typically, the work calculated above is for the total air in the given volume. Let's check the answer choices:
- 490.88 kJ
- 450.25 kJ
- 450 kJ
- 390 kJ
Since our result is in joules and much smaller, it suggests the above calculation is for 1 cycle, but the answers are in kJ (1,000 J = 1 kJ).
Let's check:
\[
W_{net, total} = W_{net, per~kg} \times \text{mass}
\]
But the mean effective pressure calculation is already based on the cylinder volume swept, not per kg.
Let's try:
\[
W_{net, total} = 650,000 \times (0.032 - 0.003) = 18,850~\text{J} = 18.85~\text{kJ}
\]
This is too small. Let's check if the problem wants the work output **per kg** of air.
The total mass of air in the initial volume:
\[
m = \text{density} \times V_1 = 1.2 \times 0.032 = 0.0384~\text{kg}
\]
So, the work output **per kg** of air:
\[
W_{net, per~kg} = \frac{W_{net, total}}{m} = \frac{18,850}{0.0384} = 490,885~\text{J/kg} = 490.88~\text{kJ/kg}
\]
### **Final Answer:**
The correct option is **490.88 kJ**.
---
**Summary of steps:**
1. Calculated the net work output per cycle using IMEP and swept volume.
2. Found the mass of air in the initial volume.
3. Calculated the work output per kg of air.
4. Matched the answer to the closest option.
**So, the answer is: `490.88 kJ`**.
