Gas Power Cycles Cold Air-Standard Assumptions 1. The working fluid is air which continuously circulates in a closed loop and always behaves as an ideal gas. 2. All the processes which make up the cycle are internally reversible. 3. The combustion process is replaced by a heat addition process from an external source. 4. The exhaust process is replaced by a heat rejection process which restores the air to its initial state. ► Air has constant specific heats which are evaluated at room temperature (25 ºC or 77 ºF).

Otto Cycles Nikolaus A. Otto (1876) – four-stroke engine Beau de Rochas (1862)
Otto Cycles Two-stroke vs. Four-stroke AdvantagesDisadvantages 1. Less efficiency 1.Simple - Incomplete expulsion of the exhausted gases 2.Inexpensive 3.High power-to-weight and power-to-volume ratios - Partial expulsion of the air-fuel mixture with the exhausted gases

Otto Cycles • The increase in thermal efficiency is not as pronounced at high compression ratios. • At high compression ratios, autoignition may occur. • Autoignition in gasoline engines hurts performance and cause engine damage.
Example 1 • An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At • the beginning of the compression process, air is at • 100 kPa and 17 ºC, and 800 kJ/kg of heat is transferred • to air during the constant-volume heat addition process. • Accounting for the variation of specific heats of air with • temperature, determine • the maximum temperature and pressure which • occur during the cycle, • (b) the net work output, • the thermal efficiency of this cycle, and • (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.
Example 1 (continued) (a) State 1: air at p1 = 100 kPa and T1 = 290 K Table A-17 u1 = 206.91 kJ/kg vr1 = 676.1 Process 1-2: Isentropic compression Table A-17 T2 = 652.4 K u2 = 475.11 kJ/kg
Example 1 (continued) = 1799.7 kPa Process 2-3: constant-volume heat addition qin = u3 – u2 u3 = qin + u2 = 800 + 475.11 = 1275.11 kJ/kg Table A-17 T3 = 1575.1 K vr3 = 6.108
Example 1 (continued) = 4347 kPa (b) Process 3-4: Isentropic expansion Table A-17 T4 = 795.6 K u4 = 588.74 kJ/kg qout = u4 – u1 = 588.74 – 206.91 = 381.83 kJ/kg
Example 1 (continued) wnet = qnet = qin – qout = 800 – 381.83 = 418.17 kJ/kg (c) = 1 – r1-k = 1 – (8)1-1.4 = 0.565 (d) = 574.4 kPa

Diesel Cycles Cutoff Ratio
Diesel Cycles ►ηD > ηO ►ηD increases as rcdecreases ►ηD → ηO as rc → 1
Example 2 • An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 18 • and a cutoff ratio of 2. At the beginning of the • compression process, air is at 100 kPa, 27 ºC and • 0.0018 m3. Utilizing the cold-air-standard assumptions, • determine • the temperature and pressure of air at the end of • each process, • (b) the net work output, • the thermal efficiency of this cycle, and • (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.
Example 2 (continued) (a) State 1: air at p1 = 100 kPa, T1 = 300 K and V1 = 0.0018 m3 V3 = rc V2 = 2 (0.0001) = 0.0002 m3 V4 = V1 = 0.0018 m3 Process 1-2: Isentropic compression
Example 2 (continued) Process 2-3: Constant-pressure heat addition p3 = p2 = 5719.8 kPa = 1906.6 K Process 3-4: Isentropic expansion = 791.7 K
Example 2 (continued) (b) Table A-2 cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K Qin = m(h3 – h2) = mcp(T3 – T2) = 0.0021(1.005)(1906.6 – 593.3) = 2.77 kJ Qout = m(u4 – u1) = mcv(T4 – T1) = 0.0021(0.718)(791.7 – 300) = 0.74 kJ
Example 2 (continued) Wnet = Qnet = Qin – Qout = 2.77 – 0.74 = 2.03 kJ (c) = 1194.1 kPa (d)
