What is Diesel cycle also called?
This cycle is also referred to as a constant pressure cycle since heat is given at a constant pressure.
What is the diesel cycle process?
There are five stages of the Diesel Cycle: Suction (Intake of air), Compression (Air is compressed), Combustion (Compressed air is sprayed with diesel), Expansion (This is also referred to as power stroke where the gases explode and push the piston), and Exhaust (The gases after expansion are pushed out of the engine to allow fresh mixture intake).
What is the cut off ratio in diesel cycle?
The ratio of the volume after combustion to the volume before combustion is the fuel cut off ratio in diesel engine, and is mathematically represented as \(VR = \frac{V_3}{V_2}\).
Who invented the Diesel cycle?
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel cycle during the 1980s in Germany.
What is the mean effective pressure of diesel cycle?
The mean effective pressure of diesel cycle is the ratio of the total work done to displace a given volume of the piston. Mathematically, \(P_m = \frac{W_{net}}{V_S}\). Here, \(V_S\) = Stroke volume = Volume before compression - Volume after compression.
