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;
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.
Thanks
