Mean Effective Pressure (mep): It is a fictitious pressure, such that if it acted on the piston during the entire power stroke, would produce the same amount of net work as that produced during the actual cycle. MEP (pm) = Wnet/(Vmax Vmin) MEP can be used as a parameter to compare the performance of reciprocating engines of equal size. Engine with a larger value of mep will deliver more net work per cycle. Reciprocating engines are classified base on the combustion process as either spark-ignition (SI) engine or compression-ignition (CI) engine.

Otto Cycle
It consists of four strokes (by the piston in the cylinder) and two revolutions (by the crankshaft) for each thermodynamic cycle. Stroke is a single traverse of the piston in a cylinder from TDC to BDC or vice versa. One revolution of crankshaft is equal to two strokes of piston.

It is seen that Wnet is directly proportional to pressure ratio, rp. For given values of rp and , pm increases with rp. For an Otto cycle, an increase in rk leads to an increase in pm, Wnet and . ME C411 A UTOMOTIVE V EHICLES 24 Tuesday, 22 January 2013
Diesel Cycle
In SI engine, a mixture of air and fuel is compressed during compression stroke, and the compression ratios are limited by the onset of autoignition or knocking. In CI engines, only air is compressed during the compression stroke. Therefore, diesel engines can operate at much higher compression ratios, typically between 12 and 24. Spark plug and carburetor are replaced by a fuel injector in diesel engines. The limitation on compression ratio in the SI engine can be overcome by compressing air alone, instead of fuel-air mixture, and then injecting fuel into the cylinder in spray form when combustion is desired. The temperature of air after the compression must be high enough so that fuel burns spontaneously when it is injected in. The burning rate can be controlled by the fuel injection rate into the cylinder. An engine operating in this way is called a compression ignition (CI) engine.

The efficiency may be expressed in terms of any two of the following three ratios.
It is seen that,
As rc > 1,

Atkinson Cycle
Atkinson cycle is an ideal cycle for an Otto engine exhausting to a gas turbine. In this cycle the isentropic expansion (3-4) of an Otto cycle is allowed to further expand to the lowest possible cycle pressure (3-5) so as to increase work output. For 1 kg gas: Q1 = Cv (T3 T2) and Q2 = Cp (T5 T1);

1. Fresh A-F-O comes into the crankcase as the reed valve opens. 2. Admission of already compressed A-F-O (from crankcase) into the cylinder nears the end. 3. Exhaust of burnt gases completes upon closure of the exhaust port. BDC TDC 4. Secondary compression commences in the cylinder as the both ports are closed. 5. As the piston nears the TDC, reed valve of the crankcase closes and the secondary compression in the cylinder ends. 6. Immediately combustion takes place. 1. Expansion/Power process begins and continues until piston uncovers the exhaust port. 2. Primary compression begins in the crankcase as its volume decreases due to inward piston movement. TDC BDC 3. Exhaust process begins once the exhaust port is uncovered. 4. Primary compression in the crankcase completes as the piston uncovers the inlet port. 5.

Engine Speed (N): No. of revolutions made by the crank per unit time. It is normally expressed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Mean piston speed (MSP): If L is the stroke and N is the rotational speed, the mean piston speed is equal to 2LN. Mean Effective Pressure (MEP): It is a fictitious pressure that, if acted on the piston during the entire power stroke, would produce the same amount of net work as that produced during the actual cycle. It is the average pressure inside the cylinder based on the calculated or measured output. If the MEP goes up, the cylinder volume can go down and still achieve the same power output.
55
Power in engine is produced by burning the fuel which gives heat. The heat supplied by fuel is divided into various accounts as follows: Heat supplied by fuel = Heat converted into work + Heat rejected to cooling water + Heat rejected to surroundings + Heat carried away by exhaust gases.
56
Indicated Power (IP): It is the power developed in the engine cylinder. This is equal to the gross area given by the indicator diagram and calculated based on the following formula. IP = Pm LANk / 60 ; where Pm - indicated mean effective pressure, L - stroke, A - piston cross-sectional area, N - crank rotational speed and k - number of cylinders. Friction Power (FP): It is the power required to (i) overcome the friction in various parts of the engine and (ii) pump the charge during admission and burnt gases during the exhaust. Brake Power (BP): It is the actual power realized at the engine shaft. It is also equal to the difference of cylinder work (IP) and friction power (FP). Brake power of the engine is measured in several ways but the easiest is applying a belt round a pulley on the engine shaft. The tension in the belt can be increased or decreased. If higher tension is T1, lower tension is T2 and D is the diameter, N rpm, then D 2N 2N (T ) = BP = ( T1 T2 ) 2 60 60 Torque (T): It is the net force acting through a radius.

Specific Fuel Consumption (sfc): It is the rate of fuel consumption per unit power either BP or IP. Mechanical Efficiency (m): It is the ratio of brake power to indicated power. Indicated Thermal Efficiency (ith): It is the ratio of indicated power to the power/heat release from the fuel. Brake Thermal Efficiency (bth): It is the ratio of brake power to the power/heat release from the fuel. Volumetric Efficiency (vol): It is defined as the ratio of the mass of air inducted into the engine cylinder during the suction stroke to the mass of the air corresponding to the swept volume of the engine at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Volumetric efficiency of an engine is an indication of the measure of the degree to which the engine fills its swept volume. For supercharged engine the volumetric efficiency has no meaning as it comes out to be more than unity.
