Thermodynamic Modeling of Otto Cycle

The document presents a thermodynamic modeling of an internal combustion engine using the Otto cycle, focusing on ideal gas laws and engine efficiency. It outlines the processes involved in the Otto cycle, provides thermodynamic equations, and includes MATLAB code for calculating temperatures and plotting a P-V diagram. The results indicate a thermal efficiency of approximately 60%, with a note that real engines experience variations due to factors like friction and heat loss.

Introduction
 Internal Combustion (IC) engines power most vehicles today.

 Model the IC engine using ideal gas laws and Otto cycle assumptions.

 Thermodynamic cycles help model engine efficiency and performance.

 The Otto cycle is used to model spark ignition (gasoline) engines.

 Calculate: Temperatures at each process stage, Thermal efficiency,


Visualize the cycle on a P-V diagram
Otto Cycle Overview
 Processes:
1. Isentropic Compression

Assumptions:
2. Constant Volume Heat
1. Ideal gas
Addition (2→3)
2. No friction or heat loss
3. Isentropic Expansion (3→4)
4. Constant Volume Heat 3. Reversible processes
Rejection (4→1)
Thermodynamic Equations
Let γ=CpCv\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}γ=Cv​Cp​​, r=V1V2r = \frac{V_1}{V_2}r=V2​V1​​

 T2=T1⋅rγ−1T_2 = T_1 \cdot r^{\gamma - 1}T2​=T1​⋅rγ−1

 T3=T2+QinCvT_3 = T_2 + \frac{Q_{in}}{C_v}T3​=T2​+Cv​Qin​​

 T4=T3⋅(1r)γ−1T_4 = T_3 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{r} \right)^{\gamma - 1}T4​=T3​⋅(r1​)γ−1

 Efficiency:

η=1−1rγ−1\eta = 1 - \frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1}}η=1−rγ−11​


gamma = 1.4;
Cv = 0.718;
compression_ratio = 10;
T1 = 300;
Q_in = 1800;
T2 = T1 * compression_ratio^(gamma - 1);
T3 = T2 + Q_in / Cv;
T4 = T3 * (1 / compression_ratio)^(gamma - 1);
efficiency = 1 - (1 / compression_ratio^(gamma - 1));

MATLAB Implementation
(Code Part 1)
fprintf('T1 = %.2f K\n', T1);

fprintf('T2 = %.2f K\n', T2);

fprintf('T3 = %.2f K\n', T3);

fprintf('T4 = %.2f K\n', T4);

fprintf('Thermal Efficiency = %.2f %%\n', efficiency *


100);

MATLAB Implementation
(Code Part 2)
P-V Diagram
V1 = 1;
V2 = V1 / compression_ratio;
P-V Diagram Plot Code V = linspace(V2, V1, 100);

P1 = 101.325;

P_compression = P1 * (V1 ./ V).^gamm


P3 = P1 * (T3 / T1);

P_expansion = P3 * (V ./ V2).^(-gamma

plot(V, P_compression); hold on;

plot(V, P_expansion);
xlabel('Volume (m^3)');
MATLAB Code
Results Summary
 T1 = 300 K

 T2 = Computed

 T3 = Computed

 T4 = Computed

 Efficiency ≈ 60% (varies with compression ratio)


Conclusion

Otto cycle gives insights into ideal engine


performance.

Efficiency increases with compression ratio.

Real engines differ due to friction, heat loss, and


combustion dynamics.
