Understanding Heat Engine Mechanics

A heat engine converts heat energy into mechanical energy through a thermodynamic cycle involving a hot body, a cold body, and a working fluid. Key cycles discussed include the Carnot cycle, Otto cycle, and Diesel cycle, each with distinct processes for heat transfer and work done. Efficiency of these cycles is calculated based on the heat received and rejected during the cycle.

HEAT ENGINE

HEAT ENGINE Any machine designed to carry out a thermodynamic cycle & thus converting heat energy supplied to it into mechanical energy.

Heat Energy Energy

Thermodynamic Cycles

Mechanical

MAIN ELEMENTS OF HEAT ENGINE 1. A hot body : Sources of heat, which is received during the cycle. 2. A cold body: Sink of heat, which is given the heat 3. Working Fluid: works as medium to transfer heat from hot body to cold body, the working substance may be steam, mixture of fuel & air or only air.

Available Energy of cycle Q (with out any loss) Where,

Q1 - Q2

W = net work during the cycle in KJ Q = Available energy for doing work KJ Q1 = Heat received during each cycle from hot body in KJ Q2 = Heat rejected during each cycle to cold body KJ = efficiency of a cycle. Note : whatever heat is available is converted in to work.

Heat equivalent to net work done/ cycle = --------------------------------------------------------Heat received /cycle from hot body Q1 - Q2 = -----------------Q1

CARNOT CYCLE:
No heat engine has ever been constructed to use it.
Theoretically permit the conversion of maximum quantity of heat energy

into mechanical energy.

a-b = Heat supplied at constant temperature (Isothermal Expansion). b-c = Isentropic expansion. c-d = Heat rejected at constant temperature (Isothermal Compression). d-a = Isentropic compression. For any non-flow thermodynamic process Heat added = work done + change in I.E a-b = Heat supplied at constant temperature (Isothermal Expansion). Therefore, change in I.E = 0. Heat added during a-b = work done + I.E = work done + 0 = Pa Va Log(Vb/Va)+0 = R Ta log (r1) = R T1 log (r1) Where, r1 = Isothermal expansion ratio. = Vb/Va c-d = Heat rejected at constant temperature (Isothermal Compression). Heat rejected during c-d = work done + I.E

Where, r2 = Isothermal compression ratio. = Vc/Vd Net work done = H.S H.R = R T1 log (r1) - R T2 log (r2) b-c = Isentropic expansion. Tb/Tc = (r) T1/T2 = (r)
