About this document
Otto Cycle Efficiency Calculation by ringtonmy12 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the Otto cycle, which is used in gasoline engines. It consists of 4 processes: 1) suction of fuel/air mixture below atmospheric pressure, 2) compression of the fuel/air mixture, 3) combustion at constant volume which adds heat, and 4) expansion which produces power and exhaust at constant volume. The efficiency of an Otto cycle engine can be calculated from the temperatures and heat added/rejected at different points in the cycle.
