Thermodynamic Design : A tradition of Post Carnot Research The operation of any engine is a cyclic process. Major portion of motive power generation occurs in any Reciprocating engine during closed cycle. Named as control mass/closed system. Engines can have External or Internal Combustion. An engine operation is a transient process which gets completed in a known or required Cycle time. Lowering of the Cycle time will lead to higher the speed of the engine. Needs many models for each process/event in a cycle. A sustainable model demands selection of a cycle & cycle time.

The Otto’s Artificial Horse Nicolaus Ottowas's first occupation was as a traveling salesman selling tea, coffee, and sugar. He soon developed an interest in the new technologies of the day and began experimenting with building four-stroke engines. After meeting Eugen Langen, a technician and owner of a sugar factory, Otto quit his job, and in 1864, the duo started the world's first engine manufacturing company N.A. Otto & Cie (now DEUTZ AG, Köln). In 1867, the pair were awarded a Gold Medal at the Paris World Exhibition for their atmospheric gas engine built a year earlier.
Why road steam disappeared By 1921, steam tractors had demonstrated clear economic advantages over horse power for heavy hauling and short journeys. However, petrol lorries were starting to show better efficiency and could be purchased cheaply as war surplus. On a busy route a 3-ton petrol lorry could save about £100 per month compared to its steam equivalent, in spite of restrictive speed limits, and relatively high fuel prices and maintenance costs. Road steam disappeared through becoming uneconomical to operate.

Otto’s Artificial Animal : Carburetted S I Engines Carburetted SI- IC Engines. High Specific Power Cleaner exhaust compared to Steam Engine Low Fuel Economy Throttling, quantity governed
Current SI Engines MPFI Engines High Specific Power Fuel economy better than carbureted Quality governing, no throttling High HC emissions during transient operation Limited improvement at part load
21st Century SI Religion Engines DISI Engines High power at full load Homogeneous charge, high CR, high vol. High Fuel economy Distinctly stratified charge, avoidance of throttling losses, quality governing Lower HC compared to MPFI
