Air Standard Power Cycle

The document discusses the Carnot cycle, which is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle proposed by Sadi Carnot in 1824. The Carnot cycle consists of four reversible processes: (1) isothermal expansion, (2) adiabatic expansion, (3) isothermal compression, and (4) adiabatic compression, between a high temperature reservoir and a low temperature reservoir. The Carnot cycle establishes the highest possible efficiency for a heat engine operating between two temperature reservoirs.

THE CARNOT CYCLE

 Heat engine operates on a cycle.


 The efficiency of heat engine depends on how the
individual processes are executed.
 The most efficient cycles are reversible cycles, that is,
the processes that make up the cycle are all reversible
processes.
 Reversible cycles cannot be achieved in practice. However,
they provide the upper limits on the performance of real
cycles.

 The fundamental thermodynamic cycle proposed by
French engineer Sadi Carnot in 1824, in an attempt to
explain the working of the steam engine.
 Carnot cycle is one of the best-known reversible
cycles.
 The Carnot cycle is composed of four reversible
processes.

CARNOT CYCLE

 Consider an adiabatic piston-cylinder device that contains gas.


 The four reversible processes that make up the Carnot cycle
are as follows:

 1-2 Isothermal Expansions


 2-3 Adiabatic expansions,
 3-4 Isothermal compressions and
 4-1 Adiabatic compressions.

diagram. The cycle takes place between a hot reservoir at temperature TH and a cold
reservoir at temperature TC. The vertical axis is temperature, the horizontal axis is
entropy.

The Carnot principle
•The Carnot principle states that the reversible heat engines have the highest
efficiencies when compared to irreversible heat engines working between the same two
reservoirs.

• And the efficiencies of all reversible heat engines are the same if they work between
the same two reservoirs.

 The efficiency of a reversible heat engine is independent


 on the working fluid used and its properties,
 The way the cycle operates,
 The type of the heat engine.
The efficiency of a reversible heat engine is a function of the reservoirs'
temperature only.

ηth = 1 - QL/QH = g(TH,TL)

or
QH/QL = f(TH,TL)

Where QL= heat transferred to the low-temperature


reservoir which has a temperature of TL

QH = heat transferred from the high-temperature


reservoir which has a temperature of TH

g, f = any function

IDEAL OTTO CYCLE - IDEAL CYCLE FOR SPARK-IGNITION ENGINES

 Otto cycle is the ideal cycle for spark-ignition


engines, in honor of Nikolaus Otto, who
invented it in 1867.

 In ideal Otto cycles, air-standard assumption


is used.

 The ideal Otto cycle consists of four internal


reversible processes:

 1-2 Isentropic compression

 2-3 Constant volume heat addition

 3-4 Isentropic expansion

 4-1 Constant volume heat rejection 12
