Adiabatic process is a process in which there is no exchange of heat takes place from the working substance to the surrounding during its expansion or compression. This is possible when the working system is made thermally insulated, that is no heat can leave or enters it during the process. So we can say that […]

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 was given by Dr. Nikolaus August Otto. It is a gas power cycle that is used in spark ignition engine (i.e. petrol engines) for its working. The entire modern petrol engine works on Otto cycle. It consists of four processes, Two isentropic (reversible adiabatic) processes and two isochoric (constant volume) processes. It

What is Thermodynamic System? A thermodynamic system is defined as a quantity of matter or a region in space which is selected for the study. The mass or region outside the system is called surroundings. The real or imaginary surfaces which separates the system and surroundings is called boundary. The boundary of a system can
