Otto Cycle Efficiency<br />

Otto Cycle: The theoretically most efficient cycle for an IC engine.<br />

• 1-2: isentropic compression<br />

• 2-3: constant volume heat addition<br />

• 3-4: isentropic expansion<br />

• 4-1: constant volume heat removal<br />

( 1)<br />

CR = compression ratio = V BDC /V TDC<br />

γ = C p /C v = ratio of specific heats<br />

Otto Cycle efficiency is a function of CR and γ.<br />
