The cylinder of a non-condensing steam engine is supplied with steam at 11.5 bar. The clearance volume is \frac{1}{10} th of the stroke volume and the cut-off takes place at \frac{1}{4} th of the stroke. If the pressure at the end of compression is 5.4 bar, compute the value of mean effective pressure of the steam on the piston. Assume that the expansion and compression are hyperbolic. The back pressure is 1.1 bar.
