Otto Cycle: Process, PV Diagram, Efficiency with Derivation & Applications The Otto cycle was given by Dr. Nikolaus August Otto. It is a gas power cycle that is used in spark ignition engine (i.e. petrol engine) for its working. The entire modern petrol engine works on Otto cycle. It consist of four processes, Two isentropic […]

In today’s article, we will discuss the Definition, Parts and their function, Working principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications of Turbojet Engine. The turbojet engine is another example of a Gas Turbine Engine. The working fluid is air or gas. Turbojet engine works on the principle of Newton’s third law of motion How? Let’s discuss in […]
Read MoreRatios of specific heat for gases in constant pressure and volume processes (Cp &Cv) Internal Energy For an ideal gas the internal energy (U) is a function of temperature. The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the energy contained within it. A change in internal energy can be expressed as du = cv dT […]
Read MoreIn this article we will discuss Ericsson cycle | Efficiency, P-V & T-S Diagrams | Heat & Work Table Ericsson cycle is a thermodynamic cycle upon which an Ericsson Engine works. Ericsson engine is a closed cycle regenerative heat engine. It works on either air or any other gas. Ericsson cycle was invented by John Ericsson.Ericsson Cycle consists of two isothermal […]
Read MoreStirling cycle was devised by Stirling. It is a reversible cycle which consists of two isothermal processes and two constant volume processes. The last two processes are performed with the help of a refrigerator to make this cycle reversible. The p-v and t-s diagram of this cycle are shown in the figure. Let us now consider […]

Car Engine Parts A car engine is a complex mechanism, design with multiple internal parts that work like clockwork to create power that runs your vehicle. All parts must be in good condition for the engine to work properly. Let’s discuss basic parts of an engine – Engine Components. The engine block houses the parts […]
Read MoreTwo Stroke Petrol Engine Working Principle Parts Types Function A two stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution. In four stroke engines, there is one working stroke in two revolutions of the crankshaft. The desire of one working stroke in every revolution of the crankshaft […]
