Combustion in Compression Ignition Engines | Thermodynamics

Compression Ignition is generally known as Diesel Engine—named after its inventor Dr. Rudolf Diesel who invented it in 1899. The CI engines have high thermal efficiency and use relatively cheaper diesel fuel compared to gasoline. CI engines are extensively used for power generation, in commercial transportation, buses, marine en­gines, locomotives, tractors, pumping sets, stationary industrial application and machine applications. However [...]

Testing and Performance of Internal Combustion (IC) Engines | Devices | Thermodynamics

On the basis of the actual data available for the engine working, we can find the ideal cycle work and its efficiency. The actual work produced or developed in the engine cylinder will be less than the ideal work calculated from the ideal cycle. The amount of actual work obtained depends upon where it is measured. In Fig. 25.1, for [...]
