Formula for otto cycle ang carnot engine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the formulas for the Otto cycle and Carnot engine, detailing key parameters such as compression ratio, cycle work, heat added, heat rejection, thermal efficiency, and mean effective pressure. The formula for Otto cycle thermal efficiency is defined as 1 - 1/r^(γ-1), where r represents the compression ratio. For the Carnot engine, thermal efficiency is calculated as (T_H - T_L)/T_H, with work done expressed as W = R ln(V3/V2)(T_H - T_L). These formulas are essential for understanding thermodynamic cycles in engines.

hi i just want to know the formula of the otto cycle for the folowwing parameter:
compression ratio,cycle work,heat added,heat rejection,thermal efficiency and mean effective pressure.

and also may i know the formula for getting the pressure (bar) and the volume(m3/kg) temperature(K) for carnot engine, the cycle efficiency, heat added and work cycle?

tanx for your help

formula for otto cycle and carnot engine
otto cycle thermal efficiency = 1- 1/ r^(gamma-1) where r = compression ratio =Cp/Cv
heat added= Cv(T3-T2) kj/Kg
Heat rejected =Cv(T4-T1)KJ/Kg
m e p= Cv[(T3-T2)]-(T4-T1)]/(V1-V2)
Carnot engine thermal efficienc= workdone/heat added = (R ln V3/V2)[Th-Tl]/R Th lnV3/V2
w= [R ln v3/v2][Th-Tl] where Th = highest temp Tl = lowest temp.
efficiency=( TH-TL)/TH
