 WHAT IS OTTO CYCLE?

• Also known as 4 stroke cycle in technical terms

• A Cycle used in internal combustion engines
• The first such engine was built by the German
engineer Otto in 1861
 4 STROKES OF THE OTTO CYCLE 

• Cycle contains 4 strokes

• 1)Intake stroke
• 2)Compression stroke
• 3)Power stroke
• 4)Exhaust stroke
INTAKE STROKE

• Intake valve opens and a mixtur

e of air and fuel with a
 relatively low pressure (near
atmosphere) is drawn into the
cylinder. As piston begin to move
back up, intake valve closes.
 COMPRESSION STROKE

• With both valve closed,

the fuel-air mixture is
compressed by the
upward movement of
piston, causing a rise in
pressure.
POWER STROKE

• The mixture is ignited by spark

plugs with the piston staying nearly
fixed, leading to a rise in pressure
and temperature. -The hot gas is
then allowed to do work by pushing
the piston back.
EXHAUST

• The exhaust valve is opened and

some exhaust escapes with the
piston remaining fixed.
• The piston forces the remaining
exhaust to escape.
• The exhaust valve is then closed,
the intake valve opened, and the
cycle repeats
 APPLICATIONS

• Common cycle used in internal combustion engines.

• Otto cycle (4 stroke) engines are commonly used in most cars and trucks
today
• Conclusion: Otto cycle engines are most commonly used compare to 2 stroke
or Wankel (rotary) engine
