Gas Laws – Boyle’s, Charles, Gay Lussac, Avogadro and Ideal Gas Law

What is a Perfect Gas? A perfect gas or an ideal gas is a state of a substance, whose evaporation from the liquid state is completed and which obeys all the gas laws strictly under all conditions of pressure and temperature. In reality there is no ideal or perfect gas which obeys all the law

P-V andT-S Diagram of Otto Cycle

What is Otto Cycle? P-V and T-S Diagram (Easiest Explanation)

The Otto Cycle is the ideal thermodynamic cycle used to describe how spark ignition (SI) engines, commonly known as petrol engines, operate. It was developed by Dr. Nikolaus August Otto, whose work led to the foundation of modern gasoline engines used in motorcycles, cars, and light vehicles. In simple terms, the Otto cycle explains how fuel energy is converted into mechanical

What is a Compression Ignition Engine? – Complete Guide

A Compression Ignition (CI) engine is an internal combustion engine in which the fuel ignites automatically due to the high temperature created by compressing air inside the cylinder. Unlike spark ignition engines that require a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture, CI engines rely solely on high compression pressure and temperature to start combustion. These engines are commonly known

Spark Ignition Engine or SI engine

Spark Ignition Engine (SI Engine): Definition, Parts, Working, and Applications

A spark ignition engine (SI engine) is a type of internal combustion engine where the air–fuel mixture is ignited by a spark produced by a spark plug. These engines typically use petrol (gasoline) as fuel and operate on the Otto cycle, which is widely used in light-duty vehicles and small machines. Spark ignition engines play a crucial role in modern transportation
