Diesel Cycle: P-V Diagram T-S Diagram

1) The Diesel cycle is a gas power cycle invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1897 that is used in Diesel engines. 2) It is similar to the Otto cycle but has one constant pressure process instead of a constant volume process. 3) The Diesel cycle consists of four processes: isentropic compression, constant pressure heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant volume heat rejection.

DIESEL CYCLE

Dese cyce s a gas power cyce nvented by Rudoph Dese n the year
1897. It s wdey used n dese engnes.
Dese cyce s smar to Otto cyce except n the fact that t has one constant
pressure process nstead of a constant voume process (n Otto cyce).
Dese cyce can be understood we f you refer ts p-V and T-s dagrams.
p-V and T-s Dagrams of Dese Cyce:

Processes n Dese Cyce:
Dese cyce has four processes. They are:
1. Process 1-2: Isentropc (Reversbe adabatc) Compresson
2. Process 2-3: Constant Pressure (Isobarc) Heat Addton
3. Process 3-4: Isentropc Expanson
4. Process 4-1: Constant Voume (Isochorc) Heat Re|ecton
Process 1-2: Isentropc Compresson
In ths process, the pston moves from Bottom Dead Centre (BDC) to Top
Dead Centre (TDC) poston. Ar s compressed sentropcay nsde the
cynder. Pressure of ar ncreases from p

Process 2-3: Constant Pressure Heat Addton
In ths process, heat s added at constant pressure from an externa heat
source. Voume ncreases from V
