Working principle of engines
• For an engine to work successfully it has to follow a cycle of
operations in a sequential manner• Nicolaus A. Otto has invented the SI engine (1876)
• Rudolf Diesel has invented the CI engine (1892)
• 4-Stroke SI engine http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prentic
ehall/ph/engine/engine.htm
• The cycle is completed in 2 revolutions of the crank shaft

4-Stroke CI engine
• Due to higher pressures in the cycle of operation the CI
engine has to be more sturdy than SI engine for the same
power output
• It has higher thermal efficiency due to high compression
ratio (approx. 18 : CI and 8 : SI engines)
2-Stroke engines
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 38/155
2-Stroke engines
• To obtain greater output from the same size of the engine ?
• If the two unproductive strokes i.e. suction and exhaust could be
served by alternate arrangement especially without the movement of the piston there will be power stroke in each revolution of crankshaft
• In this arrangement the power output can be doubled (theoretically)
with the same speed of the engine
• Based on this concept Dugald Clark (1878) invented 2-S engine• The main difference between 2-S and 4-S engines is the method of
filling the fresh charge and removing the burnt gases from the cylinder
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 39/155
•The air or charge is induced into thecrankcase through the spring loaded inletvalve when the pressure inside the crankcaseis reduced due to the upward motion of thepiston during compression stroke•During expansion stroke the charge in thecrankcase is compressed•The top portion of the piston has usuallyprojection to deflect the fresh charge towards
the top of the cylinder before flowing throughthe exhaust ports

Gas Power Cycles
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 57/155
•In these cycles energy absorbed as heat can be continuously converted intomechanical work• A thermodynamic analysis of the heat engine cycles provides valuable
information regarding the design of new cycles or for improving the existingcycles.
Classification of Cycles:The purpose of a thermodynamic cycle is either to produce power, or to
produce refrigeration/pumping of heat. Therefore, the cycles are broadlyclassified as follows:
• Heat engine (or) power cycles.
• Refrigeration/heat pump cycles.
The nature of the working fluids can be classified into two groups: vapoursand gases. The power cycles are accordingly classified into two groups as:
(1) Vapour power cycles in which the working fluid undergoes a phase change
during the cyclic process.
(2) Gas power cycles in which the working fluid does not undergo any phase
change.
• In the thermodynamic analysis of power cycles, our main interest lies inestimating the energy conversion efficiency or the thermal efficiency
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 58/155
estimating the energy conversion efficiency or the thermal efficiency.
Assumptions:
(i) The working substance consists of a fixed mass of air and behaves as a perfect gas.
The closed system is considered which under goes a cycle process. Therefore, there are no intake or exhaust process.
(ii) The combustion process is replaced by an equivalent heat addition process form an external source. Thus there is no change in the chemical equilibrium of the working fluid and also composition.
(iii) There is no exhaust process; this is replaced by an equivalent heat rejection process (iv) Compression and expansion processes in the cycle are considered as reversible
adiabatic process
(v) The specific heats Cp and Cv of air do not vary with temperature.
Carnot Cycle :
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 59/155
•The isentropic expansion process 2-3 and theisentropic compression process 4-1 can be simulatedquite well by a well-designed turbine and compressor.
•But the isothermal expansion process 1-2 and theisothermal compression process 3-4 are most difficultto achieve.
•Because of these difficulties, a steady-flow Carnot gascycle is not practical.
Since the working fluid is an ideal gas with constantspecific heats, we have, for the isentropic process,
High thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle is obtained at the
expense of large piston displacement
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 60/155
• The Carnot cycle efficiency can be increased by increasing the pressure ratio. Thismeans that Carnot cycle should be operated at high peak pressure to obtain largeefficiency
Stirling Cycle (Regenerative Cycle) :
The Carnot cycle has a lowmean effective pressurebecause of its very low workoutput. Hence, one of the
modified forms of the cycle toproduce higher meaneffective pressure whilsttheoretically achieving fullCarnot cycle efficiency is theStirling cycle.
•It consists of two isothermal and two constant volume processes. The heat rejectionand addition take place at constant temperature
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 61/155
and addition take place at constant temperature.
Stirling Cycle Processes:
• The air is compressed isothermally from state 1 to 2.
•The air at state-2 is passed into the regenerator from the top at a temperature T1. Theair passing through the regenerator matrix gets heated from TL to TH.
• The air at state-3 expands isothermally in the cylinder until it reaches state-4.
• The air coming out of the engine at temperature TH (condition 4) enters intoregenerator from the bottom and gets cooled while passing through the regeneratormatrix at constant volume and it comes out at a temperature TL, at condition 1 and the
cycle is repeated.
• It can be shown that the heat absorbed by the air from the regenerator matrix duringthe process 2-3 is equal to the heat given by the air to the regenerator matrix during theprocess 4-1, then the exchange of heat with external source will be only during theisothermal processes.
Now we can write, Net work done = W = Qs - QR
Heat supplied = QS = heat supplied during the isothermal process 3-4.
Heat rejected = QR = Heat rejected during the isothermal compression process, 1-2.
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 62/155
The efficiency of Stirling cycle is equal to that of Carnot cycle efficiency when both areworking with the same temperature limits
It is not possible to obtain 100% efficient regenerator and hence there will be always10 to 20 % loss of heat in the regenerator, which decreases the cycle efficiency
Considering regenerator efficiency, the efficiency of the cycle can be written as,
Where, ηR is the regenerator efficiency
Ericsson Cycle:
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 63/155
The Ericsson cycle consists of two isothermal and two constant pressure processes.
The processes are:Process 1-2: Reversible isothermal compression.Process 2-3: Constant pressure heat addition.Process 3-4: Reversible isothermal expansion.Process 4-1: Constant pressure heat rejection.
•The heat addition and rejection take place at constantpressure as well as isothermal processes
•Since the process 2-3 and 3-4 are parallel to each otheron the T-s diagram, the net effect is that the heat need tobe added only at constant temperature T3=T4 and rejected at the constant temperature T1=T2
•The advantage of the Ericsson cycle over the Carnot and
Stirling cycles is its smaller pressure ratio for a given ratioof maximum to minimum specific volume with higher meaneffective pressure.
The Ericsson cycle does not find practical application in piston engines
but is approached by a gas turbine employing a large number of stages with heat exchangers,insulators and reheaters.
Air Standard Otto Cycle:
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 64/155
•The air-standard-Otto cycle is the idealized cycle for the spark-ignition internalcombustion engines.
Process 1-2: Reversible adiabatic compression of air
Process 2-3: Heat addition at constant volume
Process 3-4: Reversible adiabatic expansion of air
Process 4-1: Heat rejection at constant volume

is mainly the function of compression ratio for thegiven ratio of Cp and Cv.
•If we plot the variations of the thermal efficiency withincrease in compression ratio for different gases, thecurves are obtained as shown in Fig.
• Beyond certain values of compression ratios, theincrease in the thermal efficiency is very small,because the curve tends to be asymptotic
Mean Effective Pressure:
•However, practically the compression ratio of petrol engines is restricted to maximum of9 or 10 due to the phenomenon of knocking at high compression ratios.

• It is observed that, the thermal efficiency of the diesel engine can be increased by
increasing the compression ratio, r, by decreasing the cut-off ratio or by using a gas with
large value of γ.
•Since the quantity (rγ-1)/γ(rp-1) in above equation is always greater than unity, the
efficiency of a Diesel cycle is always lower than that of an Otto cycle having the same
compression ratio. However, practical Diesel engines uses higher compression ratios
compared to petrol engines.

Process 1-2: Reversible adiabatic compression.Process 2-3: Constant volume heat addition.Process 3-4: Constant pressure heat addition.Process 4-5: Reversible adiabatic expansion.
Process 5-1: Constant volume heat rejection.
•A value of rp > 1 results in an increased efficiency fora given value of rc and γ. Thus the efficiency of the
dual cycle lies between that of the Otto cycle and theDiesel cycle having the same compression ratio.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 72/155
•The important variable factors which are used as the basis for comparison of the cyclesare compression ratio, peak pressure, heat addition, heat rejection and the net work
• In order to compare the performance of the Otto, Diesel and Dual combustion cycles,
some of the variable factors must be fixed
•A comparison of these three cycles is made for the same compression ratio, same heat addition, constant maximum pressure and temperature, same heat rejection and net work output
Same Compression Ratio and Heat Addition:
Otto cycle 1-2-3-4-1
Diesel cycle 1-2-3'-4'-1
Dual cycle 1-2-2”-3”-4”-1
•From the T-s diagram, it can be seen that Area 5-2-3-6 = Area 5-2-3'- 6’ = Area 5 -2-2"-

3"-6" as this area represents the heat input which is the same for all cycles
•Cycles start from the same initial state point 1 and the air is compressed from state 1 to
2 as the compression ratio is same
•It is seen from the T-s diagram for the same heat input, the heat rejection in Otto cycle(area 5-1-4-6) is minimum and heat rejection in Diesel cycle (5-1-4'-6') is maximum
•Otto cycle has the highest work output and efficiency. Diesel cycle has the leastefficiency and Dual cycle having the efficiency between the two
•Otto cycle allows the working medium to expand more whereas Diesel cycle is least.The reason is heat is added before expansion in the case of Otto cycle and the last
portion of heat supplied to the fluid has a relatively short expansion in case of the Dieselcycle
Same Compression Ratio and Heat Rejection:

Otto cycle 1-2-3-4
Diesel cycle 1-2'-3-4
•Qs > Q’s. Therefore, the Diesel cycle efficiency is greater than the Otto cycle efficiency
when both engines are built to withstand the same thermal and mechanical stresses

Otto cycle (1-2-3-4-1)
Diesel cycle (1-2'-3'-4'-1)
• The heat rejection for Otto cycle (area 1-5-6-4) is more than the heat rejected in Dieselcycle (1-5-6'-4')
•Hence Diesel cycle is more efficient than Otto cycle for the condition of same maximum
pressure and heat input
• With these conditions, the Diesel cycle has higher compression ratio than that of Ottocycle
•The cycle which is having higher efficiency allows maximum expansion. The Dual cycle
efficiency will be between these two

• For same work output, the area 1-2-3-4 (work output ofOtto cycle) and area 1-2'-3'-4' (work output of Diesel cycle)are same. To achieve this, the entropy at 3 should be greaterthan entropy at 3'
• The heat rejection for Otto cycle is more than that of diesel

Variation of Sp. Heat with temperature
• Most of the gases(except mono atomic) Sp. ht
increase with increase in temperature
• Above 1500 K Cp, Cv values increase much
more rapidly
•As sp. Ht increases more heat required to
produce motion of molecules

temperature (reverse to combustion)
• mainly CO2 CO +O2 : 1000oC (and partly H2O :

•Combustion is a chemical reaction in which certain elements of the fuel like H2 and C
combine with O2 liberating heat energy.
• depending on type of engine the combustion takes place either in a homogeneous or
heterogeneous fuel vapour – air mixture
Homogeneous mixture : SI engines nearly homogeneous mixture (Carburetor)
• Here mixture is formed outside the combustion chamber and initiated at the end of
compression
• Here fuel and oxygen molecules are more or less uniformly distributed
• Flame propagation heat transfer and diffusion of burning fuel molecules from
combustion zone to un burnt zone
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 100/155
• Here fuel and oxygen molecules are more or less uniformly distributed
•Flame front is a narrow zone separating fresh mixture from combustion products
• Normal flame velocity the velocity with which the flame front moves,
w.r.t the unburned mixture in a direction normal to the surface
• Here with a equivalence ratio (Ф) ≈ 1the flame speed is about 40
cm/s. But in SI engine the max flame speed is obtained when Ф (1.1-
1.2)
•By turbulence and incorporating proper air movement, the flame can
be increased
Heterogeneous mixture : Rate of combustion depends on velocity of mutual
diffusion (fuel vapours and air)• Rate of chemical reaction is of minor importance
• Self ignition of fuel air mixture at high temperatures due to high compression ratio is imp.
•Here combustion can take place in an overall lean mixture due to local zones Ф (1-1.2 :
max chemical reaction) Ignition starts in this zone and helps adjoining leaner zones

1st Stage :A->B: Ignition lag/Preparation phase:
• Growth and development of self propagating
nucleus of flame takes place
•Depends on the relationship between
temperature and rate of reaction
2nd Stage :B->C: Propagation of flame:
• 2nd is physical one and is concerned with spread
of the flame
•Flame propagates at constant velocity
•Rate of pressure rise is proportional to the rate of

• Rate of combustion becomes low due to lower flame velocity
•No pressure rise as piston moving away from TDC
Flame Front Propagation
• For efficient combustion the rate of propagation of
the flame front within the cylinder is quite critical.
•Reaction rate & Transposition rate (Imp. Factors to
determine rate of movement of flame front)
•Reaction rate is the result of chemical combination
process in which flame eats its way into unburned
charge
Details of flame travel
•Transposition rate is due to the physical movement of the flame front and also is the resul
of the pressure difference between the burnt and unburnt gases
•Area I : Slower flame front progress (due to low transposition and low turbulence Small
mass of charge burnt & low reaction rate).
•Area II : More turbulent areaconsumes greater mass of mixture (progresses more
rapidly (BC)) Area III:Less flame speednegligible transposition rate(less unburnt charge

Compression ratio delay period
•Engine speed (with degrees of crankshaft travel delay period increases
• Output ( operating temperature and decreases delay period)•Atomization of fuel and duration of injection (higher fuel injection pressure degree of
atomization and this ignition delay
•Injection timing (optimum ignition advance is 20o bTDC)
Ignition delay with ignition advance (low P,T)
•Quality of fuel (lower self iginition temp. lower
Ignition delay : higher cetane number . lower
Ignition delay
• Intake temperature ignition delay
• Intake pressure reduces auto-ignition temp and
hence ignition delay

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 126/155
•In fuel injection fuel speed at delivery point > air speed to atomize the fuel
• In carburetor fuel drawn depends on the air velocity in the venturi but here the fuel
delivered is controlled by a pump which forces fuel under pressure
•Droplets vaporize due to heat transfer from the compressed air
• Functional requirements of an injection system
•Accurate metering of the fuel injected/cycle
imp changing speed and load requirement•Timing the injection of the fuel correctly in the cycle
•Proper control of rate of injection
•Proper atomization of fuel
•Proper spray pattern to ensure rapid mixing of fuel and air
•Uniform distribution of the fuel droplets through out the combustion chamber• To supply equal quantity of fuel to all cylinders
•No lag between beginning and end of injection
• Classification of fuel injection systems
•Air injection system : Fuel is forced into the cylinder by compressed air
•Little used (bulky mlti stage air compressor)
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 127/155
•Little used (bulky mlti stage air compressor)
•Increase in weight reduces Break power
•Higher mean effective pressure ( good mixing of fuel with air)•High viscosity fuels can be used
•Solid injection system : Liquid fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber
without the aid of air compressor. Therefore called as airless mechanical injection or solid
injection systemThe system comprise mainly of the following components
1. Fuel tank
2. Fuel feed pump ( to supply fuel from fuel tank to the injection system)
3. Injection pump (to meter and pressurise : 200 bar the fuel for injection)
4. Fuel filters (tp prevent dust and abrasive particles)5. Injector (to take the fuel from the pump and distribute it in the combustion chamber by
atomizing into fine droplets)
•Classification of Solid injection system :
1. Individual pump and nozzle system
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1

• Each cylinder is provided with 1 pump and 1 injector
• A separate metering and compression pump is provided
for each cylinder
• Pump is placed close to cylinder or cluster
• High pressure pump plunger is actuated by cam and
produces necessary pressure to open injector valve
• The amount of fuel depends on effective stroke of
plunger
2. Unit injector system
• Pump and injector nozzle are combined in one housing
• Each cylinder provided with one of theses injectors
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 129/155
Each cylinder provided with one of theses injectors
• Once fuel is brought to the injector by low pressure pump
at appropriate time the rocker arm actuates the plunger• The amount of fuel depends on effective stroke of plunger
3. Common rail system
• High pressure pump supplies fuel to a fuel header
• High pressure in header forces the fuel to each nozzle
• Appropriately mechanically operated valve allows the fuel
• The amount of fuel entering is regulated by varying the
length of push rod stroke• Fuel is metered by injectors
3. Distrbutor system• Pump which pressurizes the fuel meters and times it
• The fuel pump after metering supplies required amount of
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automobile-vehicles-2011-12-1 130/155
fuel to a rotating distributor at appropriate time to cylinder
• No. of injection strokes/cycle = no. of cylinders
• A uniform distribution is automatically ensured as there is
one metering element in each pump
Fuel Feed Pump
• Spring loaded plunger is actuated by push rod from
cam shaft
• At minimum lift position of the cam the spring force on the
plunger creates suction
• When cam is turned to its max lift position the plunger is
lifted upwards which results in closing of inlet valve and fuelis forced through out let valve
• Once the operating pressure gets released the plunger
return spring ceases to function resulting in varying of the
pumping stroke (under varying engine loads acc. To quantity
of fuel required by injection pump)
Injection Pump :main objective is to deliver accurate metered quantity of fuel under
high pressure (120 – 200 bar) at correct instant to the injector

•Pump has only a single pumping element andfuel is distributed to each cylinder by means of a
rotor•Central longitudinal passage in the rotor and twosets of radial holes
•One set is connected to pump inlet via centralpassage whereas the second set is connected to
delivery lines to injectors of various cylinders•Radial delivery passage in the rotor coincideswith the delivery port for any cylinder the fuel isdelivered to each cylinder in turn
•Small size and light weight
Injection pump governor•In CI engine fuel delivered is independent of injection pump characteristic and air intake
•Fuel delivered by the pump with speed but intake air

• The above results in over fueling at higher speeds and leads to insufficiency of fuel atlow speeds (Idling speeds)
•Drastic reduction of load will cause over speeding to dangerous speeds which needs tobe taken care by injection pump
Usually two types of governors
•Mechanical governor
•Pneumatic governor
•When the engine speed exceeds the limit the weightsfly apart
•Due to this the bell crank lever raises the sleeve andoperate the control lever in downward direction
•The control lever actuates the control rack on the fuelinjection pump (reducing the amount of fuel delivered)
•Mechanical governor
Fuel injectors
•Fuel injectors ensure quick and completecombustion(atomization of fuel into fine droplets)

combustion(atomization of fuel into fine droplets)
•Atomization is done by forcing the fuel through a smallorifice under high pressure
•Needle valve
•Compression spring
•Nozzle
•Injection body
Injection assembly
•Fuel supplied by injection pump exerts force on thespring to lift nozzle valve
•After delivery of fuel (delivery of fuel from pump getsexhausted) the spring pushes the nozzle back to its seat
•Small quantity of fuel is allowed to leak through nozzlevalve and its guide for lubrication (drained back to fueltank by leak off connection)
•Spring tension adjusted by the screw at the top
Nozzle •Nozzle is a part of injector through which liquid fuel is sprayed into the combustionchamber

A nozzle should satisfy following functions
1. Atomization
2. Distribution of fuel
• Injection pressure (higher pressure better dispersion and penetration of fuel)
• Density of air in the cylinder (higher air density better dispersion)
• Physical properties of fuel (self ignition temperature, vapor pressure, viscosity)
• Prevention of impingement on walls (produces carbon deposits + smoky exhaust+fuel consumption)
• Mixing
Desired properties
•Atomization
•Properly distributed or dispersed in the desired areas•Higher injection pressures better dispersion and greater penetration at desired locations
•Finer droplets (mixing with air)
•Should minimize the quantity of fuel reaching surrounding walls
•Design of nozzle is closely related to the type of combustion chamber(turbulence issues)
•Non-turbulent combustion chamber de ends on nozle desi n and in ection ressure
Nozzle types
• Pintle nozzle : Nozzle vale is extended to form a pinor pintle which protrudes through the mouth of the
8/2/2019 Automobile Vehicles 2011-12-1

nozzle.
• Provides spray operation at low injection pressures
(8-10 MPa)
• Spray cone is generally 60 deg.
• Avoids weak injection and dribbling
• Prevents carbon deposition on the nozzle hole
• Single hole nozzle: At the center of the nozzle body there is asingle hole which is closed by nozzle valve
• Usually hole size : 0.2 mm
• injection pressures (8-10 MPa)
• Spray cone is generally 15 deg.• Nozzle tend to dribble & Spray angle is too narrow to facilitate
good mixing unless higher velocities are used(disadvantage)
