Air standard cycles

The diesel cycle was invented by Rudolph Diesel in 1893. He put forward an idea by which we can attain higher thermal efficiency, with a high compression ratio. All diesel engine works on this cycle. Diesel is used as fuel in this cycle as it can be compressed at a higher compression ratio. It is […]

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
