AIR SANDARD ASSUMIONS In powe enges, enegy is poided by bung fuel with the system boundaies, i.e., tenal combustion enges. he followg assumptions ae commonly known as the aistandad assumptions: he wokg fluid is ai, which contuously ciculates a closed loop (cycle). Ai is consideed as ideal gas. All the pocesses (ideal) powe cycles ae tenally eesible. Combustion pocess is modeled by a heat-addition pocess fom an extenal souce. he exhaust pocess is modeled by a heat-ejection pocess that estoes the wokg fluid (ai) at its itial state. Assumg constant specific heats, (@5 C) fo ai, is called cold-ai-standad assumption. Some Defitions fo Recipocation Enges he ecipocation enge is one the most common maches that is beg used a wide aiety of applications fom automobiles to aicafts to ships, etc. Intake ale Exhaust ale Boe DC Stoke Fig. : Recipocation enge. op dead cente (DC): he position of the piston when it foms the smallest olume the cylde. Bottom dead cente (): he position of the piston when it foms the lagest olume the cylde. Stoke: he lagest distance that piston taels one diection. Boe: he diamete of the piston. Cleaance olume: he mimum olume fomed the cylde when the piston is at DC. Displacement olume: he olume displaced by the piston as it moes between the DC and. M. Bahami MECH0 (F07) ICE Cycles

he Otto cycle is executed a closed system.

Howee, high compession atios can lead to auto ignition o enge knock. ypical themal efficiency fo Otto cycles is 0-5%. Diesel Enge he diesel cycle is the ideal cycle fo compession ignition enges. It is ey simila to spak-ignition, expect the method of ignition. In diesel enge, ai compessed to a tempeatue that is aboe the ignition tempeatue of the fuel. k Q Const. Const.

Howee, the diesel cycle wok on a much highe compession atio; thus its themal efficiency is highe. ypical themal efficiency of a diesel cycle is 0-5%. Diesel enges bun the fuel moe completely sce they usually opeate at lowe pm and ai-fuel atio is much highe than ignition-spak enges Diesel enges compession atios ae typically between and, wheeas spak-ignition (SI) enges ae between 7 and 0. hus a diesel enge can toleate a highe compession atio sce only ai is compessed a diesel cycle and spak knock is not an issue Dual Cycle (Limited essue Cycle) Combustion pocess tenal combustion enges eithe as constant-olume (Otto cycle) o constant-pessue (Diesel cycle) heat addition is oely simplified and it is not ealistic.
