Efficiency of Otto Cycle

by Peter Wales

 

Submitted : Spring 2010


The purpose of this project is to observe the inaccuracy of estimating the value of constant volume heat capacity when calculating the efficiency vs. compression ratio in the Otto cycle. This is to be done by replacing the single value of constant volume heat capacity with an equation of: 2.355 + 5.75E-4T
