    The document summarizes the key aspects of the diesel cycle used in compression ignition engines. It describes the diesel cycle as having a higher compression ratio than gasoline engines, which leads to auto-ignition of fuel without a spark plug. The document also discusses analyzing the diesel cycle thermodynamically to determine efficiency and the factors that affect it, such as compression ratio. It provides an example problem calculating temperature, pressure, thermal efficiency, and mean effective pressure at each stage of the diesel cycle using cold air standard analysis.

    Numerical example

    The temperature at the start of compression in an air-standard diesel cycle is


    300K and the pressure is 1 bar. If the compression ratio and cut-off ratio are
    18 and 2, respectively. Determine using cold-air standard analysis
    (a) the temperature and pressure at the end of each process of the cycle,
    (b) the thermal efficiency,
    (c) the mean effective pressure, in MPa.

    Assignment : Carry out an exact analysis to determine the percentage error in


    the thermal efficiency obtained by using cold air standard assumption.
