Heat engines are designed for the purpose
of converting thermal energy to work, and
their performance is expressed in terms of
the thermal efficiency η th, which is the
ratio of the net work produced by the ratio of the net work produced by the
engine to the total heat input:

Recall that heat engines that operate on
a totally reversible cycle, such as the
Carnot cycle, have the highest thermal
efficiency of all heat engines operating
between the same temperature levels.

The idealizations and simplifications
commonly employed in the analysis
of power cycles can be summarized as
follows:
1. The cycle does not involve any friction.
Therefore, the working fluid does notTherefore, the working fluid does not
experience any pressure drop as it flows in
pipes or devices such as heat exchangers.
2. All expansion and compression processes
take place in a quasiequilibrium manner.

3. The pipes connecting the various
components of a system are well insulated,
and heat transfer through them is negligible.
Neglecting the changes in K.E. and P.E. of
the working fluid is another commonly

9–3 ■AIR-STANDARD ASSUMPTIONS
In gas power cycles, the working fluid remains a gas
throughout the entire cycle. Spark-ignition engines
(SIE), diesel engines, and conventional gas turbines
are familiar examples of devices that operate on gas
cycles. In all these engines, energy is provided by cycles. In all these engines, energy is provided by
burning a fuel within the system boundaries.
![Page 18: Thermodynamics I Spring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) · PDF fileSpring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) Saturday, Wednesday 8:00am - ... undergo a complete thermodynamic cycle . It ... 9–5 OTTO](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/5a78d5d77f8b9a21538e0f9c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
That is, they are internal combustion engines. Because
of this combustion process, the composition of the
working fluid changes from air and fuel to combustion
products during the course of the cycle. However,
considering that air is predominantly nitrogen that
undergoes hardly any chemical reactions in the
combustion chamber, the working fluid closely
resembles air at all times.
![Page 19: Thermodynamics I Spring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) · PDF fileSpring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) Saturday, Wednesday 8:00am - ... undergo a complete thermodynamic cycle . It ... 9–5 OTTO](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/5a78d5d77f8b9a21538e0f9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Even though internal combustion engines
operate on a mechanical cycle (the piston
returns to its starting position at the end of
each revolution), the working fluid does not
undergo a complete thermodynamic cycle. It
is thrown out of the engine at some point in is thrown out of the engine at some point in
the cycle (as exhaust gases) instead of being
returned to the initial state. Working on an
open cycle is the characteristic of all internal
combustion engines.

The actual gas power cycles are rather
complex. To reduce the analysis, we utilize
the following approximations, commonly
known as the air-standard assumptions:
1. The working fluid is air, which continuously 1. The working fluid is air, which continuously
circulates in a closed loop and always behaves as
an ideal gas.
2. All the processes that make up the cycle are
internally reversible.

3. The combustion process is replaced by a heat-
addition process from an external source (Fig. 9–
9).
FIGURE 9–9
The combustion
process is replaced by
a heat-addition process
in ideal cycles.
![Page 22: Thermodynamics I Spring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) · PDF fileSpring 1432/1433H (2011/2012H) Saturday, Wednesday 8:00am - ... undergo a complete thermodynamic cycle . It ... 9–5 OTTO](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/5a78d5d77f8b9a21538e0f9c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. The exhaust process is replaced by a heat-rejection
process that restores the working fluid to its initial
state.
Another assumption that is often utilized to simplify
the analysis even more is that air has constant specific
heats whose values are determined at room heats whose values are determined at room
temperature (25°C). When this assumption is utilized,
the air-standard assumptions are called the cold-air-
standard assumptions.
A cycle for which the air-standard assumptions are
applicable is frequently referred to as an air-standard
cycle.

—and the bottom dead center (BDC)—the
position of the piston when it forms the largest
volume in the cylinder.
The distance between the TDC and the BDC is the
largest distance that the piston can travel in one
direction, and it is called the stroke of the engine.
The diameter of the piston is called the bore. The The diameter of the piston is called the bore. The
air or air–fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder
through the intake valve, and the combustion
products are expelled from the cylinder through
the exhaust valve.

The minimum volume formed in the cylinder when
the piston is at TDC is called the clearance volume
(Fig. 9–11).

The volume displaced by the piston as it moves
between TDC and BDC is called the displacement
volume.
The ratio of the maximum volume formed in the
cylinder to the minimum (clearance) volume is
called the compression ratio r of the engine:

Another term frequently used in conjunction with
reciprocating engines is the mean effective
pressure (MEP). It is a fictitious pressure that, if
it acted on the piston during the entire power stroke,
would produce the same amount of net work as that
produced during the actual cycle (Fig. 9–12).

EXAMPLE 9–2 The Ideal Otto Cycle
An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At
the beginning of the compression process, air is at
100 kPa and 17°C, and 800 kJ/kg of heat is
transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-
addition process. Accounting for the variation of
specific heats of air with temperature, determinespecific heats of air with temperature, determine
(a) the maximum temperature and pressure that occur
during the cycle,
(b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and
(d ) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.

Solution:
V1/V2 = 8, p1= 100 kPa,
T1= 17°C = 17+273=290K,
qin = 800 kJ/kg.
(a) The maximum temperature and pressure in an
Otto cycle occur at the end of the constant-volume

When the changes in kinetic and potential energies
are neglected, the energy balance for a steady-flow
process can be expressed, on a unit–mass basis, as
(qin - qout ) + (win - wout ) = hexit - hinlet (9-15)
Therefore, heat transfers to and from the working
fluid arefluid are
qin = h3 – h2 = cp (T3 – T2) (9-16a)

(c) The turbine exit temperature, T4a.
T4a is evaluated from Table A-17 by interpolation
corresponding to h4a = 880.36 kJ/kg
( T4a – 840)/(860–840) = (880.36 – 866.08)/(888.27-866.08)( T4a – 840)/(860–840) = (880.36 – 866.08)/(888.27-866.08)
T4a = 853 K
Discussion: The temperature at turbine exit (T4a =
853 K) is considerably higher than that at the
compressor exit (T2a = 598 K), which suggests the
use of regeneration to reduce fuel cost.

In GT engines, the temperature of the exhaust gas
leaving the turbine is often considerably higher than
the temperature of the air leaving the compressor.
Therefore, the high-pressure air leaving the
compressor can be heated by transferring heat to it

The thermal efficiency of the Brayton cycle increases
as a result of regeneration since the portion of energy
of the exhaust gases that is normally rejected to the
surroundings is now used to preheat the air entering
the combustion chamber. This, in turn, decreases
the heat input (thus fuel) requirements for the
same net work output. Note, however, that the use of same net work output. Note, however, that the use of
a regenerator is recommended only when the turbine
exhaust temperature is higher than the compressor
exit temperature. Otherwise, heat will flow in the
reverse direction (to the exhaust gases), decreasing
the efficiency. This situation is encountered in
gas-turbine engines operating at very high pressure
ratios.

The highest temperature occurring within the
regenerator is T4, the temperature of the exhaust gases
leaving the turbine and entering the regenerator.
Under no conditions can the air be preheated in the
regenerator to a temperature above this value. Air
normally leaves the regenerator at a lower temperature

It was shown in Chap. 7 that the work input to a two-
stage compressor is minimized when equal pressure
ratios are maintained across each stage. It can be
shown that this procedure also maximizes the turbine
work output.
Thus, for best performance we have

In the analysis of the actual gas-turbine cycles, the
irreversibilities that are present within the compressor,
the turbine, and the regenerator as well as the
pressure drops in the heat exchangers should be taken
into consideration.

If the number of compression and expansion
stages is increased, the ideal gas-turbine cycle with
intercooling, reheating, and regeneration approaches
the Ericsson cycle, as illustrated in Fig. 9–45, and
the thermal efficiency approaches the theoretical
limit (the Carnot efficiency). However, the
contribution of each additional stage to the thermal contribution of each additional stage to the thermal
efficiency is less and less, and the use of more than
two or three stages cannot be justified economically.

(b) The addition of an ideal regenerator (no

Therefore, the net work output and the back work
