  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. 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.

  4. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    A Stirling cycle is like an Otto cycle, except that the adiabats are replaced by isotherms. It is also the same as an Ericsson cycle with the isobaric processes substituted for constant volume processes. TOP and BOTTOM of the loop: a pair of quasi-parallel isothermal processes; LEFT and RIGHT sides of the loop: a pair of parallel isochoric ...

  5. Otto engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_engine

    This engine used four cycles in its creation of power. It is known now as the Otto Cycle engine. 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]

  6. Scuderi engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuderi_Engine

    The engine, formally called the Scuderi Split Cycle Engine, is a split-cycle, internal combustion engine invented by Carmelo J. Scuderi (April 13, 1925 – October 16, 2002). [3] Scuderi Group, an engineering and licensing company based in West Springfield, Massachusetts and founded by Carmelo Scuderi's children, is testing a working prototype ...

  7. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

    The Diesel cycle is assumed to have constant pressure during the initial part of the combustion phase (to in the diagram, below). This is an idealized mathematical model: real physical diesels do have an increase in pressure during this period, but it is less pronounced than in the Otto cycle.

  8. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    Otto cycle: automobiles The Otto cycle is the name for the cycle used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines such as gasoline and hydrogen fuelled automobile engines. Its theoretical efficiency depends on the compression ratio r of the engine and the specific heat ratio γ of the gas in the combustion chamber.

  9. Stirling cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_cycle

    The cycle is the same as most other heat cycles in that there are four main processes: compression, heat addition, expansion, and heat removal. However, these processes are not discrete, but rather the transitions overlap. The Stirling cycle is a highly advanced subject that has defied analysis by many experts for over 190 years.
