are engines in our cars follow the carnot cycle or they work differently

AI Thread Summary
Car engines do not operate on the Carnot cycle, as it is a theoretical model that represents an idealized heat engine. Instead, most car engines, particularly gasoline engines, typically follow the Otto cycle, which is more practical for real-world applications. The Carnot cycle is used primarily for understanding the limits of efficiency in heat engines rather than as a direct representation of how car engines function. Discussions emphasize the importance of understanding different thermodynamic cycles to grasp engine operations fully. Overall, car engines utilize specific cycles that differ significantly from the Carnot cycle.

no carnot cycle is a theoretical one.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have.
Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out.
You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
