Carnot cycle is a reversible Air Standard Cycle, where Internal Engines can be compared in terms of performance to judge the degree of perfection. So it is the perfect standard engine. Carnot Cycle Sadi Carnot is a French engineer, who first proposed the Reversible cycle in 1824. The working medium receives the Heat energy from the high […]
What is an Air Standard cycle? What are the assumptions for the Air Standard Cycle?
We have been discussing the different internal combustion engines. Analysing these internal combustion engines processes such as the Suctions, compression, combustion and exhaust are not an easy task. So this analysis is complicated with the real thermodynamic cycle. We have to make this cycle idealised by a few assumptions in these processes. With is idealised cycle […]
What is Mean Effective Pressure? | IMEP, BMEP, FMEP |
In Reciprocating Internal Combustion engines, it is the measure of the capacity to do the work. The Mean effective pressure means the simply average pressure acting on the piston during the complete thermodynamic cycle in a Reciprocating internal combustion Engine. Mean Effective Pressure AS we said it is an average pressure acting on the piston […]
What is Volumetric efficiency of an Engine?
Volumetric efficiency is one of the important Engine performance parameter, which decides the performance of the engine. So this volumetric efficiency is also known as the breathing ability of the engine. Let’s discuss more on it. Volumetric Efficiency of an Engine One of the most Important Performance Parameter in the Diesel Engines. It determines the amount of […]
What are the different Thermodynamic Processes?
We have been discussing the different thermodynamic cycles and the Law of thermodynamics, so far we understand what is a Thermodynamic system. A thermodynamic system is a group of material which is having properties such as the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy etc. This thermodynamic system can be a closed system or an open system or isolated […]
