  2. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    The cycle is closed by the exhaust (4-0 and colored blue) stroke, characterized by isochoric cooling and isobaric compression processes. Temperature-Entropy diagram. An Otto cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that describes the functioning of a typical spark ignition piston engine. It is the thermodynamic cycle most commonly found in ...

  3. Otto engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_engine

    It is known now as the Otto Cycle engine. This is the same engine that was first attempted in 1862. This is the same engine that was first attempted in 1862. Otto turned his attention to the 4-stroke cycle largely due to the efforts of Franz Rings and Herman Schumm , brought into the company by Gottlieb Daimler . [ 7 ]

  4. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    The original Atkinson-cycle piston engine allowed the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes of the four-stroke cycle to occur in a single turn of the crankshaft and was designed to avoid infringing certain patents covering Otto-cycle engines. [4]

  5. Spark-ignition engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-ignition_engine

    A four-stroke spark-ignition engine is an Otto cycle engine. It consists of following four strokes: suction or intake stroke, compression stroke, expansion or power stroke, exhaust stroke. Each stroke consists of 180 degree rotation of crankshaft rotation and hence a four-stroke cycle is completed through 720 degree of crank rotation. Thus for ...

  6. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    The Otto cycle is the most common cycle for most cars' internal combustion engines that use gasoline as a fuel. It consists of the same major steps as described for the four-stroke engine: Intake, compression, ignition, expansion and exhaust.

  7. Reciprocating engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

    In a reciprocating quantum heat engine, the working medium is a quantum system such as spin systems or a harmonic oscillator. The Carnot cycle and Otto cycle are the ones most studied. [9] The quantum versions obey the laws of thermodynamics. In addition, these models can justify the assumptions of endoreversible thermodynamics. A theoretical ...

  8. Petrol engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrol_engine

    Animation of an Otto cycle engine Most petrol engines use either the four-stroke Otto cycle or the two-stroke cycle . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Petrol engines have also been produced using the Miller cycle and Atkinson cycle .

  9. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    The most efficient cycle is the Atkinson Cycle, but most gasoline engine makers use the Otto Cycle for higher power and torque. Some engine design, such as Mazda's Skyactiv-G and some hybrid engines designed by Toyota utilize the Atkinson and Otto cycles together with an electric motor/generator and a traction storage battery.
