Combustion Engine Processes Intro

The document discusses different types of engines. It compares internal combustion engines, where combustion occurs inside the cylinder, to external combustion engines, where combustion occurs outside. It also describes the basic parts and processes of 4-stroke and 2-stroke internal combustion engines. Additionally, it differentiates between petrol/gasoline engines and diesel engines, and summarizes the combustion engine processes.

Petrol / Gasoline Engine (Spark-Ignition Engine)

Engine Process: Otto Cycle


Thermodynamic Principles: Petrol / Gasoline Engine (Spark-Ignition Engine)

The Ideal Air Standard Otto Cycle S1 = S2


1 - 2: Isentropic Compression
r = V1 / V2
2 - 3: Constant Volume Heat Addition Q23 = m Cv (T3-T2)
Considering air as perfect gas

3 - 4: Isentropic Expansion S3 = S4
V1 / V2 = V4 / V3

4 - 1: Constant Volume Heat Rejection Q41 = m Cv (T1-T4)


Considering air as perfect gas

Thus, the following relationship represents the Otto Cycle:

Compression ratio: V1 / V2 = V4 / V3
𝑊 Q23 + Q41 𝑄41 𝑄14
Efficiency: notto = = 1+ = 1-
