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 […]
What is the first law of Thermodynamics?
The first of law Thermodynamics is a version of the Law of Conservation Energy. This Law of conservation of energy states that the Energy neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another form. And the Energy of the total isolated system is constant. Let’s discuss the first […]
What are the Engine Performance Parameters?
We have been discussed the different types of the Internal combustion Engines, and their working principles, In this article we are going to discuss the different Engine Performance Parameters. The Overall Engine performance is indicated by the term ” Efficiency” and denoted by “η” There are five important Engine efficiencies which are mentioned below. Indicated Thermal […]
Comparison of Spark Ignition Vs Compression Ignition
In the Previous articles, we have discussed the Different types of Engines, Internal combustion Engines, 4 Stroke and 2 Stroke with Spark Ignition and Compression ignition. In this article, we are going to discuss the comparison of the Spark Ignition Vs Compression Ignition Engines. An Engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into […]
