– The Carnot cycle (totally reversible, int. and ext.) is the ideal cycle for heat engines
– The Otto cycle is the ideal cycle for spark ignition automobile engines
– The Diesel cycle is the ideal cycle for compression ignition engines
– The Brayton cycle is the ideal cycle for gas turbine engines
– The Rankine cycle is the ideal cycle for vapor power plants
WMM
Diesel Cycle– The ideal cycle for compression-ignition engines– Diesel cycles are designed to operate at higher
compression ratios, typically between 12~24
• The 4 cycles of the Diesel engine are:
(1--------2) Isentropic compression
(2--------3) P=constant heat addition (combustion process)
(3--------4) Isentropic expansion
(4--------1) Constant volume heat rejection

• By comparing the efficiencies of the Diesel and Otto cycles the efficiency of the Diesel cycle differs from the efficiency of an Otto cycle by the quantity in the brackets
• The quantity present in the brackets for the Diesel cycle is always greater than 1. therefore,
If only if both cycles are operating on the same compression ratio

Diesel Cycle
• The Diesel cycle is the ideal cycle for CI (internal combustion) engines
• The CI engine, first proposed by Rudolph Diesel in the 1890s, is very similar to the SI (spark ignition engines) of the Otto cycle
• The only thing that differs between the Otto and Dieselcycle is the method to ignite the combustion
» In the Otto cycle (spark-ignition engines also known as gasoline engines) the air-fuel mixture is compressed to a temperature that is below the autoignition temperature of the fuel and the combustion process is initiated by firing a spark plug
» In the Diesel cycle (also known as the internal combustion engine) the air is compressed to a temperature that is above the autoignition temperature of the fuel, and combustion starts on contact as the fuel is injected into the hot air
WMM
Diesel Cycle
• Remember that Diesel engines operate at much higher compression ratios than the spark-ignition engines
• The Diesel engines also burn the fuel more completely since they usually operate lower resolutions per minute than spark-ignition engines
• Thermal efficiencies of large diesel engines range from about 35 to 40 percent
• The higher efficiency and lower fuel costs of diesel engines make them the clear choice in application requiring a relativelylarge amount of power such as in:
» Locomotive engines» Emergency power generation units» Large ships and » Heavy trucks » As an example of how large a diesel engine can be, a 12-cylinder diesel
engine built in 1964 by the Fiat Corp. of Italy had a normal power output of 25,200 hp (18.8 MW) at 122rpm, a cylinder of 90 cm, and a stroke of 91 cm.
