Thermodynamic Cycles for CI engines
In early CI engines the fuel was injected when the piston reached TC and thus combustion lasted well into the expansion stroke. In modern engines the fuel is injected before TC (about 15o) Fuel injection starts Fuel injection starts Early CI engine Modern CI engine The combustion process in the early CI engines is best approximated by a constant pressure heat addition process Diesel Cycle The combustion process in the modern CI engines is best approximated by a combination of constant volume and constant pressure Dual Cycle

Thermodynamic Modeling
The thermal operation of an IC engine is a transient cyclic process. Even at constant load and speed, the value of thermodynamic parameters at any location vary with time. Each event may get repeated again and again. So, an IC engine operation is a transient process which gets completed in a known or required Cycle time. Higher the speed of the engine, lower will be the Cycle time. Modeling of IC engine process can be carried out in many ways. Multidimensional, Transient Flow and heat transfer Model. Thermodynamic Transient Model USUF. Fuel-air Thermodynamic Mode. Air standard Thermodynamic Model.

Ideal Thermodynamic Cycles
Air-standard analysis is used to perform elementary analyses of IC engine cycles. Simplifications to the real cycle include: 1) Fixed amount of air (ideal gas) for working fluid 2) Combustion process not considered 3) Intake and exhaust processes not considered 4) Engine friction and heat losses not considered 5) Specific heats independent of temperature The two types of reciprocating engine cycles analyzed are: 1) Spark ignition – Otto cycle 2) Compression ignition – Diesel cycle

Effect of Compression Ratio on Thermal Efficiency
Typical SI engines 9 < r < 11 k = 1.4 Spark ignition engine compression ratio limited by T3 (autoignition) and P3 (material strength), both ~rk For r = 8 the efficiency is 56% which is twice the actual indicated value
15
Effect of Specific Heat Ratio on Thermal Efficiency
ratio (k) Cylinder temperatures vary between 20K and 2000K so 1.2 < k < 1.4 k = 1.3 most representative
16
Factors Affecting Work per Cycle
The net cycle work of an engine can be increased by either: i) Increasing the r (1’2) ii) Increase Qin (23”) 3’’ P 3 (ii) 4’’ Qin 4 Wcycle 4’ 2 (i) 1 1’ V2 V1

20
Thermal Efficiency For cold air-standard the above reduces to: recall, Note the term in the square bracket is always larger than one so for the same compression ratio, r, the Diesel cycle has a lower thermal efficiency than the Otto cycle Note: CI needs higher r compared to SI to ignite fuel
21
When rc (= v3/v2)1 the Diesel cycle efficiency approaches the
Thermal Efficiency Typical CI Engines 15 < r < 20 When rc (= v3/v2)1 the Diesel cycle efficiency approaches the efficiency of the Otto cycle Higher efficiency is obtained by adding less heat per cycle, Qin, run engine at higher speed to get the same power.

Thermal Efficiency Note, the Otto cycle (rc=1) and the Diesel cycle (a=1) are special cases:
25
The use of the Dual cycle requires information about either:
the fractions of constant volume and constant pressure heat addition (common assumption is to equally split the heat addition), or ii) maximum pressure P3. Transformation of rc and a into more natural variables yields For the same inlet conditions P1, V1 and the same compression ratio: For the same inlet conditions P1, V1 and the same peak pressure P3 (actual design limitation in engines):
