OTTO CYCLE PROCESSES



Otto cycle


1-2 Isentropic Compression

2-3 Constant Volume Heating

3-4 Isentropic Expansion

4-1 Constant Volume Heating


OTTO CYCLE EFFICIENCY (η.otto)



η.otto=HeatsuppliedHeatrejectedHeatsupplied

=mCv(T3T2)mCv(T4T1)mCv(T3T2)
$$=\cfrac{T3-T2-(T4-T1)}{T3-T2} \$$

=1(T4T1)T3T21


Now,we have, Compression ratio, r=V1V2

Expansion ratio, r1=V4V3


∴ V1=V4 and V2=V3

Compression ratio=Expansion ratio


For adiabatic compression process ,1-2 T2T1=V1V2γ1

=rγ1


For adiabatic expansion process ,3-4 T4T3=V3V4γ1

=V2V1γ1
=1rγ1


Substitute the above values in 1 η.otto=1T3.1rγ1T2.1rγ1T3T2

=11rγ1(T3T2)T3T2=11rγ1
