The Otto CycleBy: Vijai Sookrah Objective: To present the Otto Cycle to students.
The Otto CycleThe Six Steps to the Otto Cycle • Intake Stroke: A mixture of air and gasoline is drawn into the cylinder.
The Otto CycleSix Steps • Compression stroke: The fuel-air mixture compressed, causing a rise in temperature.
The Otto CycleSix Steps • Explosion: The mixture is ignited by spark plugs, leading to a rise in pressure and temperature.
The Otto CycleSix Steps • Power Stroke: The hot gas then does mechanical work by pushing the piston.
The Otto CycleSix Steps • Valve exhaust: Outlet valve opened and exhaust escapes.
The Otto CycleSix Steps • Exhaust stroke: The piston forces the remaining exhaust to escape.
