Deviation of the actual Otto cycles from the ideal Otto cycle
Causes
 Air is not the working fluid throughout the cycle (the gaseous
products of combustion differ from air)
 Some of the energy released during combustion goes into
dissociation of molecules and therefore not available for useful
work.
 There is heat loss through the cylinder walls
 There are friction losses between the piston and the cylinder
 There is a finite time required for the spark flame to propagate
through the entire mass of gas.

Diesel cycle: The ideal cycle for CI engines

The dual – combustion cycle
 1 – 2: isentropic compression
 2 – 3: Reversible constant volume heating
 3 – 4: Reversible constant pressure heating
 4 – 5: Isentropic expansion
 5 – 1: Reversible constant volume cooling
 The heat is supplied in two parts:
(i) Constant volume heat addition
(ii) Constant pressure
Hence the name dual combustion
 In this case, the cut off ratio is: 𝛽 =
𝑣4
𝑣3
Thermal Efficiency
 The total heat input is given by: 𝑄𝑖𝑛 = 𝑐𝑣 𝑇3 − 𝑇2 + 𝑐𝑃 𝑇4 − 𝑇3
 Heat rejected during process 5 – 1 is given by: 𝑄𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑐𝑣 𝑇5 − 𝑇1
⇒ 𝜂 = 1 −

Problem One (Otto cycle)
An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8.0. At the beginning of the of the
compression process, air is at 100 kPa and 170C, and 800 kJ/kg of heat is transferred to air
during the constant volume heat – addition process. Taking the respective values of cv and γ
as 0.718 kJ/kgK and 1.4 for the compression process and 0.823 kJ/kgK and 1.333 for the
heat – addition, expansion and heat rejection processes, determine:
(i) The maximum temperature and pressure that occur during the cycle
(ii) The net work output
(iii) The thermal efficiency
(iv) The mean effective pressure
Problem Two (Diesel Cycle)
An air – standard diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cut off ratio 2. At the
beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 270C. Taking the respective
values of cp and γ as 1..005 kJ/kgK and 1.4 for the compression process and 1.111 kJ/kgK
and 1.333 for the heat – addition and expansion processes, and the value of R as 0.287
kJ/kgK, determine:
(i) The temperature after the heat – addition process
(ii) The thermal efficiency
(iii) The mean effective pressure

Problem Three (Dual – combustion)
An oil engine takes in air at 1.01 bar, 200C and the maximum cycle pressure is 69
bar. The compressor ratio is 18. Calculate the air standard thermal efficiency based
on the dual – combustion cycle and the mean effective pressureof the cycle.
Assume that the heat added at constant volume is equal to the heat added at
constant pressure. Take cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK and γ = 1.4 for all processes.
