Introduction
Overview
The ideal Otto and Diesel cycles discussed in the preceding sections
are composed entirely of internally reversible processes and thus are
internally reversible cycles.
These cycles are not totally reversible, however, since they involve
heat transfer through a finite temperature difference during the non-
isothermal heat-addition and heat-rejection processes, which are
irreversible.
Therefore, the thermal efficiency of an Otto or Diesel engine will be
less than that of a Carnot engine operating between the same
temperature limits.

Because T1 = T2 = TH and T3 = T4 = TL
(note that ln(1) = 0). Also, we have that
V2 /V1 = V3 /V4 . Thus, s2 − s1 = s3 − s4 ,
and the thermal efficiency results in:

Because T1 = T2 = TH and T3 = T4 = TL
(note that ln(1) = 0). Also, one has that
p2 /p1 = p3 /p4 . So s2 − s1 = s3 − s4 ,
therefore the thermal efficiency results in:

Example ...
Consider an ideal Ericsson cycle working in steady state that uses air
(R = 287J/kgK, k = 1.4) as working fluid. The air is at 27o C and 120
kPa at the beginning of the isothermal compression process during which
150 kJ/kg of heat are rejected. Heat transfer to air occurs to 1200 K.
Determine:
The maximum pressure of the cycle.
The net work per unit of mass.
The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
