Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
\(\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}\)
Q23 = m × Cv × (T3 – T2)
T = temperature (K)
V = volume (m3)
Q23 = specific heat added by combustion
Cv = specific heat at constant volume (kJ/kg.K)
Calculation:
Given:
P1 = 100 kPa
T1 = 10°C = 10 + 273 = 283 K
\(\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}} = 9\)
\({\gamma} = 1.4 \)
Process 1 – 2 → isentropic compression
\(\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}\)
T2 = 283 × (9)1.4 – 1 = 681.52 K
Process 2 – 3 → heat addition at constant volume
Q23 = m × Cv × (T3 – T2)
Cv = 718 J/kg.K
Q23 = 718 (2500 – 681.52)
Q23 = 1.305 × 106 J/kg
Q23 = 1.305 MJ/kg

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Brake Thermal efficiency:
It is defined as the ratio of brake power to the fuel energy per unit time.
\(Brake\;thermal\;efficiency\left( {{η _b}} \right) = \frac{{BP}}{{{m_f} \times CV}} = \frac{1}{{BSFC \times CV}}\)
where mf = mass flow rate of fuel, BP = Brake Power, CV = Calorific Value.
Indicated power:
The energy of the fuel that is converted to power is called the indicated power (I.P).
Friction power:
The energy applied to the piston passes through the connecting rod to the crankshaft. In the transmission, there are energy losses due to friction, pumping, etc. The sum of all there losses converted to power is termed as friction power(F.P).
Brake power:
Brake power(B.P) = Indicated power (I.P) - Friction Power (F.P)
Volumetric efficiency (η):
Volumetric efficiency is defined as the ratio of actual volume flow rate of air into the system to the rate at which the volume is displaced by the system.
\(Volumetric\;efficiency = \frac{{Actual ~intake\;volume}}{{Swept\;volume}}\)
Mechanical efficiency:
\({\eta _{mech}} = \frac{{brake\;power}}{{indicated\;power}}\)
IC Engine Cycles Question 4:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Heat addition in the diesel cycle is a constant pressure process.
Heat added (Q) = Cp × (T3 – T2) kJ/kg
Cp = Heat capacity at the constant process.
T2 = Temperature at the end of the heat addition process
T2 = Temperature at the beginning of the heat addition process
Calculation:
Given:
Cp = 1 kJ/kgk, T3 = 1723 K, T2 = 1473 K
Q = 1 × (1723 - 1473) = 250 kJ/kg
IC Engine Cycles Question 5:
In SI engines for higher thermal efficiency
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The thermal efficiency of the Otto Cycle:
\({\eta _{otto}} = 1 - \frac{1}{{{r^{\gamma - 1}}}}\)
Compression ratio: r = v1/v2
Conclusion:
\(\eta = f\left( {r,\gamma } \right)\)
From the above equation, it can be observed that the efficiency of the Otto cycle is mainly the function of compression ratio for the given ratio of Cp and Cv i.e. ratio of specific heats.
The thermal efficiency of the theoretical Otto cycle increases with an increase in compression ratio and specific heat ratio but is independent of the heat added (independent of load).
The efficiency of the Otto cycle is given by
\({\eta _{Otto}} = 1 - \frac{1}{{{r^{\gamma - 1}}}}\)
As \(r \uparrow ,\left( {\frac{1}{{{r^{\gamma - 1}}}}} \right) \downarrow \) and Hence \({\eta _{Otto}} \uparrow\).
Option (b), (c) and (d) are the knock parameters.IC Engine Cycles Question 6:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Otto cycle:
The air-standard-Otto cycle is the idealized cycle for the spark-ignition internal combustion engines.
Otto cycle is the one which has two constant volume heat transfer processes and two adiabatic work transfer processes.
The Otto cycle 1-2-3-4 consists of the following four processes:
- 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
- During constant volume process heat addition and heat, rejection takes place and no work transfer.
- During the adiabatic processes [compressions/expansion] only work transfer taken place but no heat transfer occurs.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
For the Diesel cycle:
Processes involved in compression engine (diesel cycle) are:
1-2: Reversible adiabatic compression
2-3: Constant pressure heat addition
3-4: Reversible adiabatic expansion
4-1: Constant volume of heat rejection
Now
The compression ratio is given by
\(r = \frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}\)
The cut-off ratio is given by
\(r_c = \frac{{{V_3}}}{{{V_2}}}\)
The expansion ratio is given by
\(r_e = \frac{{{V_4}}}{{{V_3}}}\)
⇒ rc × re = \(\frac{V_4}{V_2}\) = \(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\) = r (From diagram V4 = V1)
IC Engine Cycles Question 8:
The efficiency of an Otto cycle is 60% and ratio of specific heats is 1.5. What is the compression ratio?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
P-V and T-S diagram of Otto cycle is shown in the figure.
Compression Ratio (r) is the ratio of the total cylinder volume when the piston is at the bottom bead centre, VT, to the clearance volume VC.
\(r = \frac{{{V_T}}}{{{V_C}}} = \frac{{{V_c} + {V_s}}}{{{V_c}}} = 1 + \frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_c}}}\)
\({η _{Otto}} = 1 - \frac{1}{{{r^{γ - 1}}}}\)
Calculation:
Given:
η = 60%, γ = 1.5
\(\begin{array}{l} {η _{Otto}} = 1 - \frac{1}{{{{\left( r \right)}^{γ - 1}}}}\\ 0.6 = 1 - \frac{1}{{{{\left( r \right)}^{1.5 - 1}}}}\\ \frac{1}{{{{\left( r \right)}^{0.5}}}} = 0.4 \Rightarrow r = 6.25 \end{array}\)

Additional Information
Flywheel
- A flywheel is an inertial energy-storage device. It absorbs mechanical energy and serves as a reservoir, storing energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply.
- Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio, temperature, pressure, size and weight than a petrol engine.
- The weight of the flywheel depends upon the nature of the variation of the pressure.
- The flywheel for a diesel engine is bigger than that of a petrol engine.
Gudgeon pins
- The gudgeon pins are made of nickel/chromium alloy steel.
- The outer surface is ground, chromium-plated, and case hardened.
- The gudgeon pin connects the piston with the connecting rod.
- It should be strong enough to transmit power and withstand the pressure of combustion.
- They are made hollow to reduce the inertia load due to reciprocating motion.
- It is present in both petrol and diesel engine.
Piston rings:
Piston rings are expandable split rings embedded inside the grooves on the perimeter of a piston and mainly perform the following functions-
- Seal the combustion chamber from the crankcase
- Provide a uniform oil film between the piston and cylinder wall thereby controlling the oil consumption
- Transfer the heat from the piston to the cool cylinder walls.
- In most cases, piston rings are made up of Cast Iron
- Cast iron easily adheres to the cylinder wall
- In addition, cast iron can be easily coated with other materials to enhance its durability
- There are two types of piston rings
- Compression rings
- Oil control rings
IC Engine Cycles Question 10:
Most high-speed compression engines operate on
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
IC Engine Cycles Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- A dual cycle or limited pressure cycle is a thermodynamic cycle for high-speed diesel and hot spot ignition engines.
- Whether heat is added at constant pressure or constant volume in actual applications, depends upon the rate of heat added and the rate at which pressure decreases due to movement of the piston.
- In an ideal cycle, the piston is assumed stationary during heat addition at constant volume, but in practice, this does not happen.
- As the speed of the engine increases, the rate of decrease of pressure due to the movement of the piston increases, and heat addition cannot be assumed at either constant volume or constant pressure.
- In such a case, a better approach for modeling the situation will be to assume heat addition initially at constant volume and then at constant pressure. That is why a dual combustion cycle is used.
- All diesel engines except slow-speed engines use mixed dual cycles.
- This is because in mixed dual cycles the heat input occurs partially at constant volume and partially at constant pressure.
