- A cycle begins with the intake stroke when the piston moves down and draws air into the
cylinder. The piston rises and compresses the air. During the compression stroke, the
temperature of the air rises to about 900℉ (480℃ ). When oil is injected into the cylinder, it
mixes with the hot air and burns explosively. Gases produced by this combustion action push
the piston down for the power stroke. During the exhaust stroke, the piston moves up again and
forces the burred gases out of the cylinder.

The efficiency of the Diesel cycle differs from that of the Otto Cycle by the bracketed factor
r kc −1
. This factor is always greater than 1 because re is always greater than 1. Thus, for a
k (r c −1)
particular compression ration rk, the Otto cycle is more efficient, however, since the Diesel
engine compression air only, the compression ratio is higher than in an Otto engine. An actual
Diesel engine with a compression ratio of 15 is more efficient than an actual Otto engine with a
compression of 9.

OTTO CYCLE
Internal Combustion engine is a heat engine deriving its power from the energy
liberated by the explosion of a mixture of some hydrocarbon in gaseous or vaporized form, with
atmosphere air.
