Thermodynamic Cycles for CI engines

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 20 o ). Fuel injection starts. Fuel injection starts.

  1. 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 20o) 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 & constant pressure  Dual Cycle

  2. Early CI Engine Cycle vs Diesel Cycle FUEL Fuel injected at TC A I R Fuel/Air Mixture Combustion Products Actual Cycle Intake Stroke Compression Stroke Power Stroke Exhaust Stroke Qin Qout Air Diesel Cycle TC BC Compression Process Const pressure heat addition Process Expansion Process Const volume heat rejection Process

  3. Air-Standard Diesel Cycle Process 1 2 Isentropic compression Process 2  3 Constant pressure heat addition Process 3  4 Isentropic expansion Process 4  1 Constant volume heat rejection Cut-off ratio: Qin Qout TC BC v2 TC v1 BC

  4. First Law Analysis of Diesel Cycle Equations for processes 12, 41 are thesame as those presented for the Otto cycle 23 Constant Pressure Heat Addition Qin AIR

  5. 3  4 Isentropic Expansion AIR  note v4=v1 so

  6. Thermal Efficiency For cold air-standard the above reduces to: recall, Note the term in the square bracket is always larger than one sofor the same compression ratio, r, the Diesel cycle has a lowerthermal efficiency than the Otto cycle When rc (=v3/v2)1 the Diesel cycle efficiency approaches the efficiency of the Otto cycle

  7. Thermal Efficiency Modern CI Engines 12 < r < 23 The cut-off ratio is not a natural choice for the independent variable A more suitable parameter is the heat input, the two are related by: as Qin 0, rc1 and h hOtto
