THERMAL ENGINEERING - OTTO CYCLE

OTTO CYCLE


(Constant Volume Cycle)

(Nickolous Otto)

Applicable in SI Engines


PROCESSES:
(1-2): Isentropic Compression:
        During isentropic compression the volume Vdecreased upto V2 due to piston movement from BDC (Bottom Dead Center) to TDC (Top Dead Center). Therefore the pressure raised from P1 to P2. So, the temperature also increased from Tto T2. During isentropic (S= S2) there is no transfer of heat. 
Q1-2 = 0
(2-3): Heat Supplied (Qs)at Constant Volume:
        During constant volume process the volume Vequal to V3. At the end of compression, the electric spark will be ignited from spark plug and combustion takes place. During 2-3, the pressure raised from Pto Pand temperature increased from Tto Tmaximum
Q2-3 = m.CV.dt
Q2-3 QS = m.CV.(T3 -T2)
(3-4): Isentropic Expansion:
        During isentropic expansion the volume Vincreased to Vdue to piston movement from TDC (Top Dead Center) to BDC (Bottom Dead Center). Therefore the pressure decreased from Pto P4. So,  the temperature also increased from Tto T4. During isentropic (S= S4) there is no transfer of heat. 
Q3-4 = 0
(4-1): Heat Rejected (QR)at Constant Volume:
        During constant volume process the volume V4  equal to V1. At the end of expansion, the exhaust valve starts to open and leaving exhaust gases (heat rejected) from cylinder. During 4-1, the pressure decreased from Pto Pand temperature decreased from Tto Tminimum
Q4-1 = m.CV.dt
Q4-1 QR = m.CV.(T-T1)



The air standard efficiency of OTTO cycle is;
The air standard efficiency of OTTO cycle is depends  on 'r' (compression ratio).
