DIESEL (CONSTANT PRESSURE) CYCLE The Diesel cycle was conceived and developed by Rudolph Diesel in 1893 to the point where he was able to begin commercial production of the corresponding diesel engine in his own factory. Fig. 10.13 shows the diesel cycle plotted on p- V and T-$ diagram. The sequence of operations is Process 1—2 : Piston moves from crank end dead centre (ODC) to cover end dead centre (DC) and air with initial state 1 is compressed isentropically to state point 2 through compression ratio r = V,/V>. Process 2—3 : Heat is added to compressed air at constant pressure from an external source which is brought into contact with the cylinder head. The heat supply is stopped at point 3 which is called the cut off point, and the volume ratio p = V/V, is called cut off ratio or isobaric expansion ratio. —— Entropy Fig. 10.13. Air-standard Diesel cycle on p-V diagram and T-s diagram Process 3—4 ; The increased high pressure exerts a greater amount of force on the piston and pushes it towards the ODC. Expansion of working fluid (air) takes place isentropically and work is done by the system. The volume ratio V,/ V; is called isentropic expansion ratio Process 4—1: The piston is momentarily at rest at ODC and htat is rejected to the external sink by bringing it in contact with the cylinder head. The process is so controlled that ultimately the air comes to its initial state 1 and the cycle is completed The low speed diesel engines work on a cycle which is slight modification of the Diesel cycle. This thermodynamic cycle is called constant pressure cycle because heat is supplied to the air at constant pressure. Thermal efficiency for Diesel cycle : The compression process 1-2 and the expansion process 3-4 are isentropic and hence there is no heat interaction in these processes. Energy is absorbed as heat during process 2—3 at constant pressure, and is rejected as heat during process 4—1 at constant volume. Consider unit mass of air undergoing the cyclic change. Heat supplied during process 2~3, Q, = ¢ (T3- T;) Heat rejected during process 4—1, Q, = ¢, (Ty - T;) Work done = heat supplied - heat rejected = 6, (Ty~ Ty) = (TT) r work done Thermal efficiency, 1 heat supplied T,-Th) 1(%-T) = =1-- (10.1 qt) ¥(T%-T) an The expression for thermal efficiency in terms of compression ratio r, cut off ratio p and adiabatic exponent y can be set up by expressing all the temperatures in terms of lowest temperature T, in the cycle. 7 Vy At point 2 : V; = rs where r is the compression ratio At point 3: Ps =P. =p, V3 = V2 p where p is the cut off ratio At point 4: r v V3 / V2 #) -m(erE] -nterer = Tt ppt | eae cad When these temperature values are substituted in expression 10.13, we get gy (Ot) Thre) (10.14) Apparently the efficiency of Diesel cycle depends upon the compression ratio (r) and cut off ratio (p) and hence upon the quantity of heat supplied. Fig. 10.14 shows the air standard efficiency of diesel cycle for various cut off ratio. Further examination of factor K = [(o" -1)/1(e-1)] reveals that with an increase in the cut off ratio p, the value of the factor K increases. That implies that for a diesel engine at 1 constant compression ratio, the efficiency would increase Py with decrease in p and in the limit p — 1, the efficiency 1 would become I-aeT- Since the factor K = [(o"-1)/7@-1)] is always greater than unity, the Diesel cycle is always less efficient than a corresponding Otto cycle having the same compression ratio. This aspect is, however, of little importance because the diesel engines operate on much higher compression ratio, (14 to 18) Compression ratio if compared to those for spark ignition engines operating Fig. 10.14. on Otto cycle. High compression ratios for diesel engines are must not only for high efficiency but also to prevent diesel knock; a phenomenon which leads to uncontrolled and rapid combustion in diesel engines. —+ Efficiency q Gas Power Cycles = Mean effective pressure : With reference to Fig. 10.13, the work done per cycle for unit mass of air is Work done = heat supplied - heat rejected = & (T3 - T,) - & (Ty - T) V; RT, ( a RT, Swept volume = (V, - V,) = V,j1-%2| = —+[1-=] = —4(r-1 wept volume = (V, ~ V3) ( ts) ei ; ral ) By definition of mean effective pressure work done per cycle — ¢(T3-T2)=¢y(Ts-Th) = BAe mep sweptvolume ~ RT, /p,rx(r—1) =o pit _[¥(T-T)-(T-Th) RG-1) pea (10.15) The expression for mean effective pressure in terms of compression ratio r, cut off ratio p, induction pressure p, and adiabatic exponent y can be set up by expressing all the temperatures in terms of lowest temperature T, in the cycle.

The efficiency of Diesel cycle can be calculated by using the relation _ heat supplied - heat rejected _ heat supplied heat rejected ~ heat supplied The engine operating on the Diesel cycle will thus have an efficiency of 58.1% The comparison between the desired parameters for the two cycles (Otto/ Diesel) has been shown below Ratio of compression ratio: Ratio of maximum pressures Ratio of cycle efficiency 40.7.
