In the previous article, we have discussed the Otto cycle, The Otto cycle is an idealized cycle for the spark-ignition engine whereas the Diesel cycle is the idealized cycle for the Compression Ignition Engines. In the Ideal cycle, the heat addition process needs no special device such as the ignition system. Let’s discuss the diesel Cycle […]

What is Otto Cycle?
In the previous article, we have discussed the Carnot cycle, the Stirling cycle and the Ericsson Cycle. The main disadvantage of the Carnot cycle is low mean effective pressure due to impracticable high pressure and the volume ratios. Nicolaus Otto proposed a constant volume heat addition cycle called the Otto cycle. Now we are going to discuss […]
What is Ericsson Cycle?
In the previous article, we have discussed the Carnot cycle and the Stirling Cycle with its efficiency. The Ericsson Cycle also resembles the Carnot cycle with the constant pressure process and the constant temperature processes. Whereas the Stirling cycle is a constant volume with a constant temperature. Ericsson Cycle In this Ericsson Cycle, there are two Isothermal […]
What is Stirling Cycle?
In the previous article we have discussed the Carnot cycle, and its efficiency. But the Carnot cycle has a low mean effective pressure. To increase the mean effective pressure, theoretically achieve the maximum efficiency, there are some modifications can be done to the Carnot cycle. This modified Carnot cycle is called the Stirling Cycle. Stirling […]
What is Carnot Cycle and Carnot Engine?
Carnot cycle is a reversible Air Standard Cycle, where Internal Combustion 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. In this cycle, the working medium receives the Heat […]
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. Wich is idealised cycle […]
