Real Cycle & Air Standard Cycles
Actual Cycle(Real Cycle)
The actual cycle experienced by internal combustion
engines is an open cycle with changing composition, actual
cycle efficiency is much lower than the air standard
efficiency due to various losses occurring in the actual
engine.
Air Standard Cycle
Air standard cycles are idealized cycles based on the following
assumptions:
 The working fluid (air) has a constant mass throughout the entire air cycle and air is
taken to be ideal.
 The air maintains a constant specific heat capacity throughout the cycle.
 The combustion process is replaced by a heat transfer process from an external heat
source.
 The cycle is completed by the heat transfer to the surrounding in contrast to the
exhaust and the intake processes of an actual engine.
 All the processes are internally reversible
Otto Cycle (Constant Volume Cycle)
The Otto Cycle is the ideal air standard cycle for petrol engine, the gas
engine, & the high speed oil engine.
The Cycle is shown on p-v diagram.
Process 1 -2: Isentropic compression of the air as the piston moves from bottom dead center(BDC) to top
dead center (TDC)
Process 2-3: is a constant volume heat transfer to the air from an external source while the piston is at top
dead center. This process is indented to represent the ignition of the fuel-air mixture & the subsequent rapid
burning.
Process 3–4: Isentropic expansion (power stroke)
Process 4-1: constant volume process in which heat is rejected from the air while the piston is at bottom
dead center.
Real cycle vs Air standard cycle

There are fundamental mechanical and thermodynamic difference between real cycle and air
standard cycle. Few of main differences are provided here;

1. Chemical composition of working fluid:


In ideal case working fluid is air only. While, working fluid of the
actual cycle is the mixture of the air and fuel vapour along with their
unburned mixture and residual gases.
2. Change in the composition:
In air standard cycle composition of air doesn’t change but in real
cycle fuel is burnt in presence of air so, air charge is consumed and its
composition is changed. These combustion products aren’t exhausted
completely.
Real cycle vs Air standard cycle
3. Difference in indicator diagram :
 In real cycle there is pressure drop along valve throttling and hence there the pressure and
volume are not constant in case of diesel cycle combustion process and volume and not purely
constant in combustion process of Otto cycle that’s why rounding off takes place. While, in ideal
cases of both cycles combustion takes place at constant pressure and volume.

Real cycle vs Air standard cycle
4. Nature of process:
In air standard cycle the heat losses are minimum so, process there is reversible adiabatic
or isentropic. Heat losses must be avoided to reach maximum pressure and temperature .
But in case of real cycle the process is Polytropic as there is heat loss because of cooling
that is essential to avoid the temperature that can cause the failure of engine material.
Real cycle vs Air standard cycle
5. Specific heat:
In case of air standard cycle the perfect gas is assumed. One of the properties of perfect
gas is that its specific heat remains constant but in real cycle the value of specific heat is
considerably changed because high temperature is reached. Kinetic energy and thus
collision increased when a substance is heated so, as a result value of specific heat is
raised.
Dissociation in real cycle VS air standard
cycle
 The maximum temperature attained in the real cycle of an IC engine is much less than that
of the air standard cycle. On of the reasons for this is the phenomena of dissociation.
 Dissociation process can be considered as the disintegration of combustion products at
high temperature.
 Dissociation is Endothermic ( Heat absorbed ) process while combustion is Exothermic
( Heat released ) process.
 In IC engines, mainly dissociation of CO2 into CO and O2 occurs, whereas there is very
little dissociation of H2O.
 It occurs slightly about 2000 degrees when combustion chamber reaches this
temperature. Heat is utilized in the process given below

 The effect of on engine behavior is more than . Also , if there is formation of


nitric oxide during the combustion process then the temperature is even lowered.
WHY TO MINIMIZE
DISSOCIATION
 Due to Dissociation temperature drops
and power output reduce.
 Due to Dissociation the efficiency of
engine decreases .
 Due to dissociation pressure decreases
because of temperature drops, So the
actual out put is from 3/.
 Dissociation has also a bad impact on
environment as it releases oxides.
HOW TO MINIMIZE
DISSOCIATION
 The presence of CO and O2 in the
gases tends to prevent dissociation
of CO2; this is noticeable in a rich
fuel mixture, which by producing
more CO , suppresses dissociation
of CO2.
 With dissociation maximum
temperature is obtained when mixture
is slightly rich.
Effects of air-fuel mixture strength on combustion
temperature

 For air standard cycle the maximum combustion


temperature occurs at stoichiometric mixture
(A balanced mixture of fuel and oxidizer such
that no excess of either remains after
combustion).
 But for real cycle it has been found that
maximum combustion temperature occurs for a
mixture of air and fuel that is 20% rich in
mixture.
COMPARISON:

 If there is no dissociation, the brake


power output is maximum when the
mixture ratio is stoichiometric.
 The shaded area between the brake power
graphs shows the loss of power due to
dissociation.
 When the mixture is quite lean there is no
dissociation.
Ignition Timing and Maximum pressure
Developed
 Standard air cycle assumes that when ignition take place , full combustion and
maximum combustion pressure develops instantaneously .
 In real cycle, full combustion takes time to be completed and maximum pressure is developed
after combustion is completed.
 It is important to determine correct ignition time.
 For maximum power output, it is desired to get maximum combustion pressure just after the
piston reaches TDC.

 graph shows that for specific air fuel mixture, Maximum power is produced when ignition
Take place 40 degree before the crank angle leads the piston to TDC.
 What if ignition takes place to early?
knocking
detonation
can be detrimental to Engine
What if there is delay in ignition?
Maximum pressure develops in expansion stroke.
Decreased performance.
Emissions and overheating issues.
Ignition timing depends upon;
Air fuel mixture.
Fuel octane.
Engine temperature, speed, loud.
