  1. Diesel Cycle and the Brayton Cycle Chapter 9b

  2. Rudolph Diesel • German inventor who is famous for the development of the diesel engine • The diesel engine is based on a compression ignition system http://www.autonews.com/files/euroauto/inductees/diesel.htm

  3. Diesel Engines • No spark plug • Fuel is sprayed into hot compressed air

  4. State Diagrams for the Diesel Cycle

  5. Diesel Cycle Otto Cycle The only difference is in process 2-3

  6. Consider Process 2-3 • This is the step where heat is transferred into the system • We model it as constant pressure instead of constant volume

  7. Consider Process 4-1 • This is where heat is rejected • We model this as a constant v process • That means there is no boundary work

  8. As for any heat engine… substitute

  9. Rearrange rc is called the cutoff ratio – it’s the ratio of the cylinder volume before and after the combustion process

  10. rc This doesn’t do us much good

  11. rc Since Process 1-2 and Process 3-4 are both isentropic 1 1

  12. Finally, Since process 1-2 is isentropic The volume ratio from 1 to 2 is the compression ratio, r

  13. Which finally gives…

  14. k=1.4

  15. The efficiency of the Otto cycle is always higher than the Diesel cycle • Why use the Diesel cycle? • Because you can use higher compression ratios

  16. Typical range for gasoline engines

  17. P-v Diagram for an ideal dual cycle

  18. Brayton Cycle • Ideal Cycle for Gas Turbine Engines • Usually operate on an open cycle

  19. Closed cycle model for a gas turbine engine 1-2 Isentropic Compression 2-3 Constant Pressure heat addition 3-4 Isentropic Expansion 4-1 Constant Pressure heat rejection

  20. Closed cycle model for a gas turbine engine 4-1 Constant Pressure heat rejection 2-3 Constant Pressure heat addition 3-4 Isentropic Expansion 1-2 Isentropic Compression

  21. Remainder of the Chapter • I’m not skipping the other sections in this chapter because they are unimportant, or uninteresting • We just don’t have time!!
