Derive An Expression For Efficiency of Diesel Cycle

The document derives an expression for the efficiency of a diesel cycle. It describes the four processes of the diesel cycle: 1) adiabatic compression, 2) addition of heat at constant pressure, 3) adiabatic expansion, 4) rejection of heat at constant volume. An expression is developed relating the efficiency to the compression ratio, cutoff ratio, and other thermodynamic quantities.

Diesel cycle comprises of the following operations:

(i) 1-2......Adiabatic compression.

(ii) 2-3......Addition of heat at constant pressure.

(iii) 3-4......Adiabatic expansion.

(iv) 4-1......Rejection of heat at constant volume.

Consider 1 kg of air.

Heat supplied at constant pressure =C p (T3 − T2 )

Heat rejected at constant volume =C v (T4 − T1 )

Work done = Heat supplied – Heat rejected

=C p (T3 − T2 ) − Cv (T4 − T1 )
